We’ve reached the time when the summer heat outweighs any desire for design & aesthetic. Portland is having a second 90F/32C day so I’ve deployed my janky looking, but very effective hack to block the only west-facing window in our home.

This window is one of those window boxes, so it not even remotely insulated, double-paned, or anything that would improve its efficiency. In the winter cold pours in from this space and in the summer this unshaded window belches temperatures above 105F/40C into the kitchen. On the positive side, our cat loves this space, he lounges on some carpet we put in the bottom and yells at birds.

If you’re struggling with rising temperatures and have access to a a place that sells construction materials, you might consider buying some of these R-Tech insulation panels to block windows. These are coated with Mylar on the side I’m facing out, towards the sun. It’s impressive how well they work!

I’ve been thinking I’ll order some insulated curtains for this space, but my wife has wondered if this fix is actually more effective! We might still hang some, but I’ll keep these two panels around for extremes.

If you're planning on staying in place during global warming, now would be a good time to start figuring out how you're going to deal with no air conditioning when electricity fails or becomes prohibitively expensive. Just saying.

"Modern buildings tend to take electricity and air conditioning for granted. They often have glass facades and windows that can’t be opened. And when the power goes out for days in the middle of a heat wave...these buildings can become unbearable.

Yet, for millennia, civilizations knew how to shelter humans in hot and dry climates.

...With global temperatures rising, studies show that dangerously hot summers like those in 2023 and 2024 will become increasingly common, and intense storms might result in more power outages. To prepare for an even hotter future, designers today could learn from the past."

Another #heatwave headed for the west. Here are expert #tips to #keepcool.

Right now it's 102°F in Martinsburg, WV. It's just been too hot for too long.

We’re beginning a stretch of HOT weather so it’s time for this fix I didn’t think of until last year! We have a single, west-facing window, it’s a greenhouse box window. In the summer it absolutely bakes our kitchen. In the winter cold pours in from it.

Solution: 2 insulating foam panels. The side facing out the window is coated in Mylar, so it even reflects sun away! While it looks janky, we found it helped a lot.

Ursa hates it because he has a mat in this window box and likes to lie there, chattering at birds.

A kitchen wall. Two foam “R-TECH INSULFOAM” panels black a window and are held in place with blue tape. You can see a set of 3 hanging, wire baskets with citrus fruits in the bottom basket. A stone countertop has a flower pot, shopping bag, and the blue tape roll. There’s a shelf on the counter with a toaster, rice cooker with an open lid, jars of breakfast cereal, and issue ids and ends.

I see the point and have experienced the same thing. Lazy denial may be quite fortunate if bystanders can see the lack of evidence. That assumes those bystanders aren't similarly triggered by the word 'communist'.

Labelling people in general is often a lazy ad hom. Sometimes the biggest insult is not the intended one to you, but to the intelligence.

I can still get infuriated, but try to concentrate on more important things. #KeepCool

@doctoctocbot salut ! Nous avons deux possibilités : se retrouver facilement sur ce réseau avec ce hashtag et ainsi faire grossir la communauté médicale toute toute petite… ou bien ne plus du tout utiliser #doctoctoc et préférer #MastoMed

Par pitié : ok pour les remontrances (et encore…) qd la communauté sera grande et qu’il y aura des réponses à ce hashtag… en attendant #keepcool

Enfin, les hashtags sont comme les plages : elles n’appartiennent à personne.

"Ice Scene," Hendrick Avercamp, 1610.

Something cool, as we're getting a heat wave here! The detail in Dutch paintings of this era always fascinates me...here you'll see people skating, a woman's butt, someone fallen through the ice, and a guy peeing. Avercamp was known for his winter landscapes and this is a fun example.

From the Mauritshuis, The Hague.

#art #DutchArt #WinterScene #KeepCool

A canal in a Dutch village has frozen over, so the residents are enjoying themselves on the ice. Their clothes are meticulously depicted, showing that the skaters are from all walks of life. In the foreground, for instance, a skater wears a plumed top hat. Couples glide hand in hand, and in the rear right some are playing a precursor to hockey. Near a half-submerged boat, a woman is doing her laundry through a hole cut in the ice. In the middle toward the rear, a woman has slipped to all fours, and her skirt flips up to show her nude rear. To the left, a woman has fallen through a thin spot, and a man on the shore runs with a ladder to save her. To the right, on the shore, a man chops wood, while another urinates against a fence. In the background, we see the hazy outlines of a town skyline.
