  • Ok, maybe I’m just spoiled somehow, but that’s REALLY high for sleeping. If it’s over about 72 I just straight-up cannot sleep. I can flex that a little with good airflow and low humidity (windows open).

    I can’t possible imagine having to sleep in that temp after a full day of strenuous physical activity. I guess if you were somehow used to it but that seems crazy.

    Furthermore, does this cooling strategy (minus the AC units shipped in) even come close to offsetting the burned fossil fuels to actually move all these athletes to another country and set up the games? Asking cause that seems kinda relevant…


















  • heh, you don’t know how true this is. I’ve worked in IT for 2 decades. IT is pretty much always seen as a cost center.

    If everything is running smoothly - “what are we paying you for?!”

    If everything is on fire - " What are we paying you for!?"

    And now with companies getting the tiniest of slaps on the wrists for willful negligence it’s cheaper to cut IT funding, outsource it, whatever.

    If the cost of the fine is less than the profits gained by doing “x” then that’s just the cost of doing business. Execs will continue to do this until there are real consequences for the company and them directly.
