Thank you, your comment gave me a lovely warm feeling in my stomach. I'll get through this.

Just about kept my shit together. It's been a really shitty week.

I only yesterday learned that some education instituitions in the US and Canada had limits on the number of Jewish students who could attend. The European countries who practiced this weren't so much of a surprise to me, but the fact that universities like Harvard did this was an eye opener.

My heating is set at 21°C (70F) for daytimes and 16°C (61F) for the night time, so it doesn't come on at all during summer, and a lot of spring (UK). During winter when it gets colder out (like below about 6°C/43F) I will usually need to whack it up by a couple of degrees, or give it a little extra blast in the morning to warm up. Its an old building (late 1800s) and my flat has external walls on three sides, and a cold empty basement below, so it can get quite cold when the outside temperature drops.

Edited to make it clear i mean my heating thermostat, because I realised most people here are talking about AC and that's very rare in homes here.

In the UK here, have you guys had a cool, wet summer too? And if so have people (not necessarily you as it seems you live in a modern well insulated home) needed to put the heating on? I'm in a flat in a late 1800s building and have put it on a couple of times to take the chill off, my mum's in a 1920s semi detached and has had the heating on most days.

I have a massive soft spot for his stuff. I'm still hoping that someone will adapt The Kraken Wakes for film or TV one of these days.

I thought this was an early misconception of the pandemic and had since been debunked?

I find sorting by 'Top' either 6 hours or 12 hours helps me see new posts I've not seen that have decent engagement

Stayed at my brother's last night, have been enduring 2 hours of the most annoying Minecraft YouTube videos with my niece. I think my brain has melted.

Ahhh ok that makes more sense. They probably tend to go to Madrid, Barcelona, Granada etc.
