@Cyn1calCrusader Installing AC in 2022 was the best decision I ever made

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

@Diogenes1 @Ratings_UK Hahahahaha

@Ratings_UK Maybe people don’t want to watch genocidal states taking part in a singing contest and fixing the voting?

Overnight Number One (11-17 May): #Eurovision was back for another year, but has it lost its sparkle? The grand final bedazzled 5.13 million of us, but that is a sharp fall from the highs of recent years. Last year’s edition managed 6.7m.

@TharriesYT The majority are public/civil servants. There are very few people I know whose salary is funded by the state who are not Labour through-and-through.

I love this argument because there's never any self-reflection from the right as to why educators are overwhelmingly left-wing, almost like the right's ideas don't stand up to intellectual scrutiny or something...

It literally is a blip. Cooling down again after tomorrow.

@Emmaginacarpet @GnohomoM0 @danthegunner46 Thanks. Shocking if true.

@YRevision26117 @GnohomoM0 @danthegunner46 It basically says Ciara has filed a police report against Måns Zelmerlöv bcs of violence

if its NF songs then this, ESC song is next quoted post

@chuckthomasuk People are bored of other networks trying to make The Traitors rehappen. Plus the weather.

Last night's ratings are in. Only 729k for episode two of Nobody's Fool on ITV. What went wrong?

The EBU need to ramp up the quid quo pro for AQs. I propose: 🤍 Mandatory NF 🤍 Participation in JESC 🤍 Threat of AQ status removed if 5 year average goes under a certain level If they don't like that, compete in the SFs. Italy has dominated the AQs for too long. #Eurovision

@TomK_Brit1993 Kier Starmer ten times worse

Boris Johnson was the worst Prime Minister in British history. No one else comes close.

I know they're Top AQ almost every year but seriously how was Italy Top AQ this year? France were Francing, Germany had a girlbop straight outta Cyprus, the UK... were typically shit but Austria was hardly a bad host entry. We literally sent a girl who couldn't sing! #Eurovision

@BladeoftheS We had hot weather in the 1970s you melt (pun intended) Stop grifting

The UK didn't need AC that's why it doesn't have it. Only in the last 10 years has the UK needed AC. The problem isn't the lack of AC in the UK, it's that suddenly the UK needs AC.

This is not the win you think it is. For all KAN's faults they are still holding the Netanyahu administration to account. Furthermore, the taps aren't going to get switched off on such a major soft power vehicle.

@Eurovoix Justice for Secret Combination. Yes, it was a clone of 4 Minutes by two future interval acts but for me it's the OG girlbop.

On this day in 2008, the Final of the 53rd #Eurovision Song Contest was held in Belgrade, 🇷🇸 Serbia. A record 43 countries participated, 🇦🇿 & 🇸🇲 debuted and 🇦🇹 withdrew. Dima Bilan from 🇷🇺 Russia took victory with the song "Believe", 🇺🇦 Ukraine was 2nd and 🇬🇷 Greece 3rd.

@BumbacComeback Justice for Greece. I fucking loved Secret Combination.

Despite one of the worst ever winners, Belgrade 2008 was the peak 00s Eurovision

@AvonandsomerRob Last week for Cup Final and Eurovision.

Nobody watches mainstream BBC/ITV anymore. Saturday night prime time used to hit 15 million viewers in the UK. Last night Britain's Got Talent scraped a paltry two million. When did you last watch network TV?

Gloucester

@Emmaginacarpet @GnohomoM0 @danthegunner46 I don't speak Swedish, would you be kind enough to translate please?

@YRevision26117 @GnohomoM0 @danthegunner46

@BumbacComeback Isn't that the Malmö 2013 stage

Eurovision Song Contest celebrates its 70th birthday with AI slop video 😭

Happy Birthday Eurovision! 70 Today!

How are they gonna spin this one

@SerioJoshehe @YIMBYkieran My weekly shop is simply not that remarkable.

@YIMBYkieran They use it to monitor what you buy personally. It’s data mining

Why do people hate the clubcard? You get cheaper prices and it’s free? Why do people despise it so much?
