Hmmm..., kind'a unusual weather you're having over there, isn't it? If you get desperate, I know where you can get a nice, new, big (too big for my windows), 12,000 BTU air-conditioner, still unboxed, for below it's cost at Amazon. The only hitch is you'd have to pick it up here, yourself. I'm not equipped to move it again, much less to ship it to France.
(Note: You might have to change the power plug on it. And perhaps a few other details.)
...indeed it;s been brutal in Europe and this is the second time this year.
Swindon UK (north of the Salisbury Plain) had highs in the mid 90s (F) that last couple days with a high tomorrow of 97°F. In the small Southwestern German town (near the Rhine just north of Baden Baden) where I lived during a learning exchange in back in the 70s, it was 98° F today. The forecast for the next three days calls for highs in the triple digits topping out at 104° on Saturday.
Indeed people there are not used to or prepared for this.
We haven't been too bad, today topped out at 31.6 C outside and 29.3 inside (though I suspect this room, with the computer, was hotter) but it it still outside my operating temperature.
Haha, and get a transformer to convert from 230v/50Hz to 120v/60Hz. It would be a huge beggar too thanks to having to convert the frequency, probably the same size as the AC unit
This is Gorgon hair on this lady. Would Gordan Ramsey date this lady?
Just a random joke I thought of. I actually did buy this hair model. It is found at a certain 3D asset store.

Complaint: Being too enthusiastic: Arghhh..., today I received a package from Amazon. Yay! One of the things in the package was a flat (half carton) of eight ounce aluminum cans of V8 Juice (a blend of tomato + seven other veggies juice) that I like to have on hand for breakfast (one can provides two 4 ounce servings). The cans were in the cardboard flat and wrapped in heavy plastic shrink wrap. I set the flat on my kitchen counter, grabbed my box knife (new blade recently installed), and swipped along the cardboard to cut two sides of the flat so I could tease the plastic wrap from the flat. Unfortunately, I was a little too aggressive with my box cutter, and the blade was extended just a bit too far, and I sliced through the plastic, through the cardboard, and through the wall of one of the cans. The juice is not carbonated but apparently the juice is slightly under pressure (temperature, deformity, or whatever) in the can and loves to be let free and spray when the opportunity arises.
What followed was a rush to discover which can was spraying, then remove it, wash it, and all the other cans near it, wipe up the juice that had accumulated in the bottom of the cardboard flat, and test all the other potentially sliced cans. Luckily it was just the one can, which I emptied into a mug and put into the refrigerator for the next two day's breakfast.
Interesting Discovery: After reading the link to the decription of V8 Juice above, I noticed that the type that I buy (Low Sodium V8) not only lowers the sodium by 70% but is also a source of potassium which I also need to avoid leg cramps. Cool!
Who wants a granola bar of soap? Ryan did not understand it when it was an answer on Wheel of Fortune.
Apparently I made up a fictional dog named Nevis. But who is Nevis's person?
Was it a "before and after" clue? "Granola bar" and "bar of soap" are both things, and they share "bar" between them.
Yes! That was it!

Here is Dust Bunny, aka Soot Spryte. The second is what Husband calls the bird; a Howl's Moving Castle reference. I can't figure out how to zoom with my phone camera, sorry. Dust Bunny is perched on the collapsing corner of the roof, just above the big branch. I took this yesterday, and have others.
Complaint: Stupid not-so-smart Samsung phone has started hiding some of my apps & their icons. Including the Camera app that comes with phone. The apps are still there, I can find and open them in Settings, but I can't get the icons back. Well, one I got back by uninstall/reinstall from Google's Play store. But not the camera app. In fact, half the time I go to it in Apps, I don't get an Open button. Any ideas? It's a Galaxy A23 5G. The A is for Annoying, I guess. Although that isn't fair, since I have owned it for several years and not had any problems.
...thankfully it was a can and not your fingers or hand
Seen eough box cutter mishaps having worked in warehousing and shipping for two decades.
When you find the app in your settings, you may be able to do what is called a “long press”. That is, you hold your finger on the app until the phone reacts with some feedback such as a vibration. And the screen might change to a state in which you can slide the app somewhere on the main screen. Or it might generate a menu that has an option to add it to the “home screen”.
SO CUTE!!!!
Thank you for sharing. :)
I tried but my settings isn't showing the actual icon, just an image on the app info page. Currently I only see Force Stop and Disable buttons on that page. I think either the phone is getting old or something (perhaps an update) didn't work right.
Oh, thanks! I did finally find where in Settings the Hide Apps option was. Sure enough, a couple I use a lot were checked. The Hidden Apps list was almost as well hidden as the apps themselves. So I can now take more pics of my doggos, my roses, & Dust Bunny the vulture.
Ugly bird, but ugly describes the house too. I believe that house is a little beyond the fix-er-up-er stage.
It's at the nature's reclamation stage. I'd leave Mother to it.
complaint: There is only so many times in a day an adult can listen to "Baby Shark" without losing what's left of what passes for their sanity.
That is all.
The Husband says it was an old smokehouse and could be up to 100 years old. I worry where the vultures are going when it finally falls.
And for the record Dust Bunny is so ugly they're cute. I've been observing the parents for 5 years now, as long as we've lived here. (It's property that's been in Husband's family for 150-200 years.)
I still sometimes joke with my kids that if they win the lottery or something, they should be very generous with me & their Dad, lest I reveal to the world that as toddlers they loved Barney.
Unfortunately, probably too common to use as ammo LOL.
"Baby Shark" definitely isn't the worst thing ever. At least it's just repetitive and the singing isn't also horrid. But it is drilling into my brain to the point that when I got up to pee in the middle of the last sleep cycle, it was going through my head before I even opened my eyes.
Going to give thanks that he hasn't hit a princess movie phase the way Teen Kiddo did. I was fine with (and truly enjoyed!) the newer ones, but Snow White nearly did me in. I'll take Baby Shark over that twittery, rhyming nonsense any day.
....Although it was interesting watching it through the lens of someone who has no cultural context. Kiddo was confused on why Dopey didn't talk, and then decided maybe it didn't matter, because he was good at other things, like listening, which is a very important skill to have. That was the point at which it occurred to me that "dopey" was just a word to them, and hadn't entered their lexicon as an insult.
COMPLAINT: My office ambient hit 42°c/108°F yesterday and my gaming rig overheated and shut down, the 3080Ti was almost too hot to touch. It doesn't help that it's in a mid-sized case and the Arctic X CPU cooler is less than an inch away from it, so I've ordered a Nautilus to replace the CPU cooler.
NON-COMPLAINT: My rendering rig stayed pretty stable, albeit slightly higher temps than usual but all under 70°c/158°F.
Non-Complaint: Even with only temps going into the 80s/90sF in Denver I have been using my computers from 1 - 2am to 10am during the day and shutting them off. Unfortunately air quality is iffy due to a bad wild fire in Utah and heat is not good by that point for outside exercise. So I enjoy reading on my iPad. Next week we are looking at high 90sF. Joy.
Did anybody else see the part in The Umbrella Academy where Diego's van had Baby Shark stuck on repeat in the tape player? That was hilarious, and horrible to think of.
Complaint: There is a HUGE swarm of very small ants outside on my front walk. I have no idea what to do about it, or whether I should do anything at all.
Non-complaint: My cat gets her stitches out tomorrow, and will presumably be able to ditch the cone she's been wearing for two weeks. She hates it, so she will be thrilled to be rid of it.
Non-complaint: The payment from the cat insurance has been approved for $640 of the $810 for her surgery.
...feel like I'm back in the midwest again, It was in the 90s at the beginning of the week then got back to normal Thursday and yesterday (mid 70s). Today struggling to reach 60°.
non-complaint: We've moved on from Baby Shark!!!
Give them a swimming lesson
