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.

What is an important thing you think people don't know or are misinformed about you wish more knew about?

    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.
