i’m done putting this bad boy together, not as effective as a regular AC but much better than a fan.

the cooler has salt water and ice packs together with a cheap aquarium pump, water is circulated through plastic tubing and a copper pipe in front of the fan to cool the air. there are tons of instructions for these on youtube and it’s pretty easy to put together.

total cost: around 50 euros and everything can be found at a hardware store. (for fellow swedes: biltema!)

today's task list 

* clean catboxes
* go to Costco
* call vet re: Razi's itchy ear
* write WoW story

+ dishes
+ feed self

food 

@hummingrain but that burrito wasn't nearly enough, so now I'm back to fridge-scrounging... XD

food 

@hummingrain yah, frozen "microwaveable." it's important for me to have quick sources of protein readily available, but I'm thinking these aren't gonna be it. still. >__<

I got super lucky with bread--Udi's is reliably good quality, tasty, relatively inexpensive, and readily available. between Udi's bread, bagels, and muffins, and Glutino's English muffins, cookies, and crackers, I have an overabundance of good glutiny-food substitutes! :D

food 

why is "a gluten-free burrito that doesn't fall apart upon being microwaved" such a goddamn pipe dream?? >:( I keep hoping, and I keep being disappointed... maybe I should start frying these damn things instead.

food, sleep

@mawr @zebratron2084 oh gosh, that makes me happy. <3333

@Corvusheart not to mention being *physically* dangerous to people with already fragile health. I remember the last heat wave in London *killed* several people, mostly elderly folks.

capitalism 

@Kistaro look at it this way: you may be endangering or taking away their job, but they were endangering not only their own life, *and* yours, but also those of every other driver and pedestrian they passed. some people *need to not be driving so much*.

one of my former housemates had a job driving a van for a company until he got into an accident and they fired him. he was upset, but knowing his driving habits, I was just relieved nobody was seriously injured--or killed. :|

Facebook 

"The plunge in Facebook’s share price puts the social network on track to rack up the biggest ever one-day drop in a company’s market value.... the Silicon Valley company revealed that 3 million users in Europe have abandoned the social network since the Observer revealed the Cambridge Analytica breach"

@lifning@cybre.space @Elizafox I have no idea what is happening here but I kinda want more of it
