Given the record temps around the globe, are you personally doing anything to account for these changes?

I'm looking into reflective paint for our roof, and considering an insulated work shop / cool room under our deck. Small, but heavily insulated and partially built into the ground.

Arghh on this: "If everyone in America uses their phone a year longer on average, it would equal the emission reduction of taking 636,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road." (counterpoint: manufacturers deliberately design phones to be disposable -- hard or impossible to fix, no way to replace batteries, failure to support older hardware). https://www.npr.org/2023/07/14/1186550169/cellphone-exhibit

Just went past a stand some kids had set up in the neighborhood, and envisioned it online.

Twitter: "Sorry, you're not blue check, I can't buy your lemonade."
Threads: "Are you a celebrity or a brand? I only buy from CELEBRITY or BRAND lemonade stands that are trending."
Fediverse: "You can't SELL lemonade! Lemonade should be free!"
YouTube: "I'll buy your lemonade if you CLICK ON LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! TELL YOU FRIENDS!"

(for the record, I purchased the lemonade 😉 ).

UCSF's Dr. , known for his advice, finally caught , and ended up "in a bloody pool" on his bathroom floor. Narrowly missed worse injuries, and a 'dent in the lid of a trashcan, likely where my head had hit,’ he wrote.
