Having a fan helps with that somewhat but an AC is better.

My wifi connection was down for a while yesterday, and ever since then the "Show new replies" function here has completely and utterly broken and just instantly leads to a dead page. I have no idea how it's managed to bork itself like this, but I can still access the forum just fine (as evidenced with this post). I'll probably have to clear some cookies out, but eh... Effort.

I always sleep better knowing my AC is a solid 17-18 minimum, but the fan does help for lighting dark passages at times.

I got probably some kind of heat exhaustion today and passed out at a water park! New experience. Lost all sense of sound and direction. Got carted off to the medical station. Very exciting, would not do again.

Stay hydrated Duna!

Though if you're in America, not tap water!!

I just learned that it has disturbing levels of arsenic and lead in it. Which is insane.

Truly, they are the new Rome. Vomitariums and orgies when?

Depends where you are.

My tap water is just crap, and was recently discovered to have ridiculous levels of PFAS chemicals too, so now I have two filter pitchers.

Varies highly by region. Although I think I'd feel safer drinking American vs. European tap water any day of the week.

San Francisco Bay Area tap water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir which is basically the vessel for the efflux of heaven. It's better than pretty much all bottled water.

You could bottle tap water and sell it as purified water.

We have a place here that bottles and sells spingwater. Curiously, their spring ran dry decades ago, but they use a *lot* of tapwater for cleaning.

What is wrong with the entirity of Europe's taps?

Well, when the locals tell you never to drink it and try to hand you water in a bottle that's been processed, I take that as a fair warning. Also, some of those water systems literally date back to medieval times. It's like America, but older and every country has its own ideas about purification and acceptable standards.

I have drunk my local tap water, and have not become ill yet. But, I am out in the country, not in a city. City water is where it tends to get icky.

I do have bottled water, though. Feelin pretty ok, debating on whether to go to the doctor as a follow-up? I have zero history of this sort of thing.

I’m under the impression heat exhaustion is a good time to go to see a medic, ‘cause it is a precursor to heatstroke, which is bad.

But you also live in the US and medical treatment is a privilege, not a right, unlike the right to gun down school kids.
