I just checked, and it's 2:17AM in Seoul. It's 86F with 85% humidity! Heat index is currently at 103F, at fucking 2AM.

That's just a middling summer day in New Orleans.

Bump that humidity up a bit and then you get closer to common average days here in summer.

Mind you, my AC turns on basically end of April and usually is on till first part of November.

Thanks,, when I think 42 degrees my immediate reaction is, "I need a jacket or sweater, especially if the wind is blowing..."

Do these structures have windows? If so, you can hang window units on them, or at the very least have floor units and vent out the window.

AC does not necessarily mean Central AC systems....geez.

The US has tons of old homes without central AC that sill have AC with portable units, or window units, etc.

This is not rocket surgery.

So, do the Koreans believe in Air Conditioning, apparently unlike their European friends?

One of any crime is too many, but "dozens" in of a country of hundreds of millions is not a reason for panic.

Yep. It's like claiming that you aren't going to use computers in the making of movies. It's just ridiculous posturing.

It's almost as if the therapeutic state won't always be enforcing your philosophies of what is healthy ...

Trump explicitly promised not to do this. So yes, I do get to complain about it, because this wasn't on the menu.

Increase of EV sales is the result of people justifiably worried about the oil crisis. Due to war with Iran global oil supply is down by 20 to 25%, if not for major countries, including China, using reserves we would already have shortages. More so, Ukraine is attacking Russian oil production and Trump started trade war with Canada, so replacement for this lost production capacity is diminished.

So ya, with all that even *I* considered buying a used EV. I don't want one, but I don't want to be unable to drive if I can't buy gasoline even more.

I admire the Left's newfound opposition to pointless regulations, lol

... if they chart?

You can tell this one spent his childhood expanding his spider collection.

Kids in suburbs "socialize" with great enthusiasm. They are constantly at one another's houses, or borrowing mom's crossover to go somewhere with their friends. Before they can drive, mom is wrecking the planet driving her progeny all over creation for every kind of sportsball you've ever heard of, and a number you haven't. The parents all have each others phones because they're constantly trying to figure out which friend their kid has absconded with, or which one gave them the pot they got caught with. Phone storage is permanently at 100% capacity because they're filled with stupid videos of their friends.

Honestly guy, the more you say here, the more painfully obvious it is that you have lived a sad, lonely life.

Maybe. I suppose that's a side benefit that some are excited about, and the worst of those will abuse it. Mostly these laws are symbolic: the ruling class doesn't really care about any of this. They're busy arranging government contracts for their spouse's private business, getting their kids no-show non-profit chairmanship jobs, etc. The "ban" is their sop to the latest moral panic, and enforcing it generally would be nasty, so they just enact it with no real enforcement plan and get back to lining their pockets. Whenever some kid causes a headline making outrage, the narrative will include accusations of negligence with regard to social media bans, and they'll persecute the kid's parents, but beyond that nothing of note changes.

Gee, how could Iran find allies in Minnesota, lol

I mean, people totally won't use this to report stuff that they simply disagree with.
