      shit i did not realize aluminum was chiral ok break and then I fix this where there were errorshttps://twitter.com/FunkyDuffy/status/1409398430305116162?s=19 …

      The Poor of the Sunbelt have a particular affinity for aluminum foil. Make sure you use the shiny side and not the dull side. Small sections with enough scotch tape to keep everything flush to the glass. You may want to consider prioritizing windows on the west side instead.

      further problem to mitigate: for some reason the AC unit blows up sometimes. going to make a device to stop directing air at the ceiling, using the vault instead to trap hot air. convection seems like my enemy here given how much the roof is gonna bakehttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1409461775838289921?s=19 …

      related: if you use a portable AC unit the plastic exhaust hose gets hot, which means some of the gains from the unit are dissipated immediately. always use the minimum hose range. I further mitigated this with improvised insulation pic.twitter.com/0Y8EWuu8Kw

      I genuinely appreciate the metis from Sunbelters. I have not needed AC for my entire adult life and I am kind of going on half-baked episteme here

      went back and checked which way the aluminum was facing nearly every piece is facing dull side outward because of fucking course slowly and painstakingly reversing it sunrise was 5:00a 45m later it's almost 80 outside this is going to be an awful day on the west coast

      the problem is not the temperature per se, it's that nothing is built for this, maybe excluding some office towers. but not older buildings especially AC remains relatively rare in seattle the usual heat advisory is "stay indoors" but that doesnt work if "indoors" isnt cooled

      starting to think the foil is counterproductive. it's really heating up, even when correctly-oriented. might try to replace it with the plastic.

      most importantly he was one of the like 2% of homeowners in the city who had looked at the river and thought "yes I believe I will purchase flood insurance this year" do not underestimate the value of such prudence! I am grateful for his careful stewardship

      anyway, its upper 90s in Seattle, feels maybe mid-upper 70s inside. looks like I made it through the early morning sun assault on the eastern window. going to call this a smashing victory. thanks everyone who came along for the ride--I hope everyone else in PNW is holding tight

          Better than us. We can't keep the house cooler than 88, and it only dropped to 82 overnight. Our cats are angry at us for how hot it is.

          Light blocking fabric with small air gap for insulating the aluminum foiled windows? As a Midwesterner it was insane to me, the lack of AC upon first moving to PDX

          can I ask the stupid and obnoxious question here: surely that AC is grievously underpowered and a window-mounted unit 3-4x larger would be appropriate.

          Replying to @danlistensto

          no it's massively underpowered and you're completely right. unfortunately there are no windows suitable for a unit in this fucking apartment. all of the rest of this is an attempt to compensate for this. my original plan was to cool one room but Penelope looks so hot :(
