absolutely incredible to me that "in the event of your inability to consent, your autonomy and rights will be entrusted to your closest living relative or parental guardian" is a pillar of widely accepted legislation upholding almost every society across the modern world and not like. the premise of some work of speculative horror fiction.

You are thinking of white privilege.

Neither.

Turn the AC down ≠ turn the temperature lower BUT ALSO ≠ turn the temperature higher

Turn the [air conditioning] down

Turn the [mechanism which forces air through the ducts] down

Turn [by mechanical action, the amount of air being forced through ducts] down

= less cool air moving through the ducts

= the house gets warmer, so the temperature does get hotter, as a byproduct of reducing the amount of cool air circulating, but it does NOT necessarily mean that you have turned the temperature higher. You could have just reduced the fan speed.

my spouse and i disagree

stoned and autistic at a party trying to make conversation: I find the comparative lifespan of organisms so interesting. Spiders are comparatively long lived animals. Female black widows can live up to 3 years but their male counterparts rarely live four months. Some tarantulas live upwards of 20 years. The longest lived spider was around 43 years old when she was cruelly assassinated by a parasitic wasp. Domestic rats have a lifespan comparable to female black widows. To put things into perspective, there are spiders that remember a pre-pandemic world but it is likely every rat on earth was born post-COVID. There could be a spider out there born when Reagan was in office.

Built in the 1950s? ✔️ Architecturally unique? ✔️ Perfectly preserved? ✔️ Still open for business? ✔️

Florida’s Warm Mineral Springs Motel has all the fixings of the perfect midcentury motel.

It dates back to 1958 and was designed by architect Victor Lundy. Lundy was known for his graceful curves, soaring roof lines and “more roof than wall”. The motel’s unique mushroom champagne glass styled roof with its glass walls enabled the residents to look at the stars from their beds at night. At the time, it was considered so different that the motel was selected by the American Institute of Architects for the 1958 Special Awards.

Years later, the right wing was attached making the motel the U-shape that it is today and the structure was slightly modernized in 1990 when the pool area was built.

Lundy passed away in November 2024 at the age of 101. He is pictured in the second photo admiring his work.
