PSA: For those roasting in Europe.... sustainable air conditioning is the answer. Yes, USA and China and such caused the mess for you. But please get over yourselves and adopt some A/C. It can be done effectively: 1. Balcony solar of ~900w (2-3 panels) 2. Inverter based window AC unit 3. A small battery unit as a buffer for clouds, etc These small window units only draw around 350w or so. They can run directly off a small balcony solar setup; after all, you really only need it when the sun is shining strong! These are my backup emergency A/Cs. Yes, I have high efficiency central and mini-split units, but if the grid fails (or the central unit itself) in 110f, I can pop these in and let the SUN keep me COOL for FREE. Don't shoot the messenger!

    @Lydie@tech.lgbt Have you ever seen a Window AC unit in Europe? Because they're as common as bidets in the USA.
