A can opener from a convenience store. It was barely sharp enough to puncture the metal of the can and exploded the moment I turned the crank.

Not strictly cooling the apartment, but I keep a large supply of ice cold water ready to drink whenever I start to get too warm—if you can effectively cool yourself throughout the day, it raises the maximum comfortable temperature of the apartment as a whole, and it’s usually easier to cool a single body than a large volume of air.

This may come off as rude, but I ask out of genuine curiosity: why would you think this is a good idea?

Professional athletes also have some of the strongest unions in the country, since they’re a small group of practically irreplaceable workers, and many of the league structures are the result of collective bargaining between players and owners.

Maybe a weird take, but check out some fencing shoes. There’s a ton of variety but they seem to have the traits you’re looking for:

As with any public forum, by putting content on Lemmy you make it available to the world at large to do basically whatever they want with. I don’t like AI scrapers in general, but I can’t reasonably take issue with this.

Sekiro, and nothing else has ever come close. It’s so smooth and so fast that I drop into the flow state with no trouble at all.

No way to know. All it tells you is that they probably haven’t discarded your application, which is certainly encouraging, but I wouldn’t read too much more into it than that.

Unless your goal is to just get laid, don’t pretend to be anybody but who you are. If your date isn’t happy hanging out with your real self, there’s no future in that relationship.
