There recently was the news of plastic recycling not being plausible and people were surprised.
I myself met so many men having sex with men who don't know what PreP is, who kept fearing HIV when they could've gotten supply for months for 10 euros.

How to use standing/box fans to cool a room. I see so many people just using them to push the air around/blow directly at people rather than draw cool air in from outside
There is no more cool air outside though.
Yup, this method doesn't work if the indoor and outdoor temperature is basically the same.
However I've still seen people here not use fans correctly when the cool change rolls through, or overnight when the temperature is lower (though admittedly, if they don't have flywire then they may be wary of mozzies). Indoors too, you can direct the box fan over a tray of water to get some transpiration cooling (iirc the term) which is a good trick.
Fwiw just a while back I was at an event in a community hall and it was about 30 and humid indoors and a pleasant 24 outdoors, the organiser set up a huge industrial fan just blowing at the back row of the audience :/
If you've got decent insulation, you can run fans when the sun is down to get the inside of your house nice and cool, then set an alarm and button everything up (including thick curtains) right before sunrise. Keeps me from needing A/C even on 90+ days.
Moreover, fans will actually warm you up if the ambient temperature is high enough. Above the mid-90s F, you're basically convection ovening yourself if you're not pulling air from a cooler place.
The only way for me to be cool with a box fan is if i literally sit directly in front of it on the floor
I do that with a wet towel over my forehead if it's too hot outside to use the temp differential to cool the room down. The transpiration of the water cools you, so long as there's somewhere for the moisture to go (i.e. not too humid), if I understand the science correctly.
I take ssris so evem feburary weather gets too hot for me, i will attempt thos when it hits summer, thank you
What's worse is a lot of old buildings were designed with air circulation in mind but those features have been ruined over the years.
If you have ever seen little pullies in a window frame, that's a sash window. They have an amazing mechanism inside which is almost never functional. I found mine had all the hardware in the frame so i fixed it and its great. They have doors on the frames, you can easily open and look for hardware. If there are 2 sets of pullies its a double hung sash and it was designed to be opened at the top so the hot air could leave. A fancy splurge at the time. Usually found nailed or glued shut, very sad. They can be worth restoring if you are ever in charge of some windows. The old wood is very high quality and they can also seal very tight in winter when properly adjusted.
Also if you have a window above the door, it is for s similar reason. See if it is operable. Any other weird window thing is probably for your comfort.
idk if this is the level of 'thing' you're looking or. But. I wish people knew it cos it's summer here and it's hot.
All of the windows in my apartment are side-by-side.
Something here doesn't make sense:
Yeah that's really poorly written. It's the same in both circumstances (cold outside warm inside). Presumably they meant when it's warmer outdoors and cooler indoors and you want to use the fan to warm the building up? But that doesn't seem like something I'd want to do in any case.
