@marzeppan23@nytimes Most Catholic dioceses require weddings between Catholics to take place in a church. A priest would not officiate in a basketball arena.
@mcampbell1123@JamesSurowiecki Agree. People don't realize at 100F (even in a humid climate), the AC will cycle almost continuously to bring inside temps down to 78F. All of that cycling also dehumidifies the air.
With extreme heat (even with outdoor humidity), you can still be cool and dry inside at 78F!
@Frankie_Fuzz@pitdesi Absolutely not. Cashews are mostly sold on their own and not as part of a mix, whereas most people only ever encounter Brazil nuts as part of nut mixes.
Only freakshows are actively seeking out a Brazil nut.
@Noahpinion Cycling is also very popular in Tokyo, and especially for people who live in outer suburbs. It’s very common to cycle from home to the nearest train station, and finish the commute by train.
@pitdesi Hotels have to cater to lowest common denominator of possible guests. Have you ever dealt with senior citizens in their 70s and 80s?
Also, a 4 or 6 digit code can be compromised. Lost or accidentally revealed to the wrong person.
Do you want that kind of liability or risk?
@itsnotokokay@1SCStarRED@Bubblebathgirl It’s on CNN because HE chose to make a big deal out of it, since he’s a narcissist. He literally spent days posting about it and gave press conferences, with exaggerated graphics.
And now you’re blaming the news media for covering something that HE chose to make important?
@Mx_Dalloway@DragBasee What does this even mean? Gringos are the only ones who appropriate foreign geographic names for brand marketing?
One of the most popular brands of beer in Brazil is literally “Antarctica”. Do you think Ambev will sit idly by and allow you to sell beer under their trademark?
@1SCStarRED@itsnotokokay@Bubblebathgirl Is it CNN making a big deal about it? Or is it the president of the United States speaking and posting endlessly about it, both before AND after he botched it, using no bid contracts?
@jbarro Most of Japan is subtropical and always was more consistently hot and humid. Historically, heatwaves were less common in Northern Europe, and they still just strike for short periods.
It’s stubbornness, because you suffer in hell for a few days and then it gets back to the 70s.
@JoshIsFAB@DragBasee And Andes existed as a South American mountain range before the chocolate mints. Amazon existed as a South American rainforest before the online marketplace and web services.
But these are still protected trademarks when used in their respective markets.
@Mx_Dalloway@DragBasee That’s not how trademark law works. Amazon (also the famous name of a South American region) is still a protected trademark when used as an e-commerce site and cloud computing platform. And Andes can’t be used by anyone else to sell chocolates.
@NickJohnso66879@patrickc Electricity in CA is also 33c/kwh. And non-coastal areas of the state get unbearably hot during what feels like an almost endless summer.
AC in the UK would run for much shorter parts of the year, only during heatwaves, to cool smaller spaces. TX is an inappropriate comparison.
@Landon_Express@yama_now Japan squeezes a population of 122 million (over 1/3rd that of the U.S.) into an area the size of California. Not so bad until you realize that about 80% of that land is mountainous, with only a small number of coastal plains suitable for agricultural and residential development.
