boaratio@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Garter snakes coming out of hibernation and into a tens of thousands strong mating ball in southern Manitoba, Canada153·8 days agoFuck all of this. I hate snakes more than Indiana Jones does. Last week I was taking laundry down to the basement and stepped directly onto a garter snake. Horrifying.
I was in the same situation as you at my last house. Central AC was added to a 100 year old house but it was never enough. I got new windows put in, and that helped, but it still got to hot in the summer.
We got this U Shaped Midea window unit and that did the trick: https://www.midea.com/us/store/cooling-and-heating/window-air-conditioners/u-shaped-air-conditioner-ultra-quiet.MAW08U1QWT
It’s better than a standard window unit because you can close the window nearly all the way, unlike standard window units that rely on those crappy plastic accordion things.
Best of luck.
boaratio@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•The bigger story about that Norwegian tourist8·11 days agoDid OP ever unintentionally attempt to visit a foreign country? Like get on the wrong plane by accident?
Making money to support my wife and kids, and not much else. I try to do my best for self care, but other than occasionally playing videogames and mowing the lawn, nothing really brings me joy. I’ve been into world politics since I was a kid, and have witnessed the slow decline of the US over decades. I’ve been really good at putting money away over my career, and have a healthy insurance policy, I just hope my kids can benefit from it.

Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered.English5·16 days agoThere is an entire industry of companies that make “drop off boxes” that allow the deliverer to put a package in it, but doesn’t allow anyone without the pin number to open it. We live in the dumbest timeline.
