Skin cancer’s a killer. Can’t be too careful.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

It helps being smaller I think. On Reddit it was a relief if I posted something and didn’t get insulted/downvoted into oblivion, no matter how benign it was. The nicer people here seem less afraid of getting drowned out by arseholes. I like seeing the same usernames pop up too. I see blaze and 2-3 others all the time around lemmy - always supportive, always participating in good faith and basically making lemmy a better place to be.

Sounds good - we’ll become unconfidently_correct on April fools day.

I definitely do mean I can. Thanks for catching that I’ll edit.

When posted in !newcommunities I wrote the link to this community 4 different ways and every single one was incorrect. I’m a walking advertisement for this community!

I think you might be the nicest, most positive person I’ve come across on Lemmy! You’re very welcome, I’m glad you’re part of this community ☺️

TIL, thanks!

You reminded me to reply to the portable suggestion - yeah, I can’t see how it would work in my flat either. Are electric ceiling fans more efficient than standard fans, do you know?

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. Thanks for the info! Sash windows aren’t the most common type in the UK unfortunately. The majority of windows open outwards from the top or side. If you live in a flat like I do, your windows also open outwards but only a few centimetres. I’m not sure it would be possible to create a temporary seal around the hose bit. I think the majority of UK homes will be dependent on fans and ceiling fans.

I like your style!

I need to find more opportunities to use “I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate” in my life. Preferably over completely banal things.

Thank you for the insight! As it gets hotter and hotter in the UK I wonder if electric ceiling fans will be a more realistic proposition than air con? Most houses don’t have the type of windows you can stick an AC unit in and I imagine it’s really expensive to install and run the “proper” ones.

Sorry, I’m entering stupid questions territory here, but a bonus how? Are they cheaper than aircon? More efficient? Or does it get hot enough that aircon alone isn’t enough keep you cool? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an electric ceiling fan irl and I only experience air conditioning in shops.

Omg I love it!! The wooden ceiling panel in the living room(?) is gorgeous. GA is Georgia though, right? In the south? I would have thought aircon is must there, but then I’m in the UK and only need to use a fan a handful of times a year. Are electric ceiling fans like that enough to keep the house cool?

I was thinking whitewash and mirrors! If the owners of the buildings either side even allowed it that is.

Someone posted one above: https://lemmy.world/comment/2377576 In this thread @Emperor found some similar ones too.

It’s not the house itself that makes me sad - it’s kinda cute and I dream of a private garden. But I suspect this house was here before the (presumably) commercial buildings either side and that makes me sad. Like Chinese nail houses.

Nice detective skills!

I think the house being there first is the more likely scenario. I like your optimism though!
