Basking in the coolness ;)

Last Saturday Salegamine(Salegamine) and I splurged. We bought a Climatiseur (aka: Air Conditioner) for our office. It will, hopefully, prevent server melt-down ¹

We went to Migros Home Center and found a cheap 7,000 BTU/2,000 watt unit that is good for at least one room. Since that is also the hottest room in the flat, it will go a long ways towards keeping the rest of the apartment cooler as well. Right now, it is 27C outside and I read 22C in here, with the office door wide open to the rest of the apartment.

The brand is a model Fresco 70, from Sonnenkönig of Switzerland.

More debates at the LA Times

I am posting to the thread on the recent DEA statement on marijuana not having an acceptable medical use. It quickly morphed into a drug legalization debate. The entry I like best is

Slamlander at 05:58 AM July 12, 2011

Dihydrogen Monoxide has no acceptable medical use either and it is not on any drug schedule. It is highly addictive and has withdrawal symptoms that always result in death. Taken in excess, it can also result in death, more certain than marijuana. In fact, iut is 1000 times deadlier than heroine. Its potential for abuse is enormous.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is also known as a Universal Solvent and can dilute and carry in solution almost any other substance, both organic an inorganic. An overdose of Dihydrogen Monoxide kills by dissolving and leeching out the minerals in the body. The sufferer enters a coma and dies. there is no known treatment for  massive Dihydrogen Monoxide overdose.

Why isn’t it on the DEA’s Schedule I?

By comparison Marijuana is relatively benign.

I wonder if any of them will catch it

I am now in print ;)

My first article that isn’t on my own blog I am thrilled! I have never considered submitting anywhere before. They took the article substantially as written, with some minor grammar changes. Considering that I only wrote it in two days, that is significant, I feel.

Now, what to do about the next article?

theglensaid weekly and I’ll stick to that
