Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.

The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.

I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.

Yes, this is correct. A standard residential doorway in Germany is required to be at least 90cm/~35”. Even if we say this is another European country, the width will be similar. Let’s be generous and add another 10cm/~4” for a total width of 100cm/39”.

The tent is hardly wider than the door it is next to.

No adults are sleeping in that tent.
