I discovered this trick, Did a quick try and found out it can reduce indoor temps for 2-3 Cº.

They have to be removed during night.

These are car shades I bought on a whim, but I know there are shades for specifically for home windows too.

Do you guys know window shades made in EU? Can you share the link if you do?

Pro-Tip: Put them outside, if you put them inside the glass can overheat and break. Be careful not to fall down too!

Pro-Tip: When the window glasses heat, they act as radiators. Spray a bit of water outside of them and the evaporation will cool them quickly, and will even make them "steal heat" from the room.

I put this on some parts of my home and I can immediately feel the relief and even a drop in humidity.

I take them out in the night/late-evening to let the infrared radiation from inside the bedroom get out, and let the cool night air in, and then put them back in the morning.

I am thinking on combining them with some awnings, so as to provide a cool spot for them to release the IR radiation accumulated faster.

Can we discuss strategies to optimize these? Best compositions?

The text, translated, reads:

>By the power of Iao Sabaoth [Yeshu]! Rous

>I adjure you by your powers and your phylacteries and the places upon which you dwell and your names that in the way that I will take you and place you at the door and the path of Phlo the son of Maure, you will take his heart, his mind (?), you will master his whole body!

>If he stands you will not let him stand, if he sits you will not let him sit, if he sleeps you will not let him sleep! He will seek after me from village to village, from city to city, from field to field, from land to land

>Until he comes to me and he subjects himself beneath my feet – me, Apapolo, the son of Nooe – his hands filled with all good things, until I fulfil with him the desire of my heart and the request of my soul in a good desire and an unbreakable affection, now, now, quickly, quickly, do my work!

Note that "hand" in third paragraph may refer to penis, which is a similar way to say it in old Hebrew.

Dialect of papyrus suggest a city in middle Egypt.

Thanks to u/Wise_Machine_8798 for making the original post and the translation.

EDIT:

WRONG MANUSCRIPT, AS POINTED BY u/wivn

The text in the image is in Koine Greek, and is in fact a spell that a woman named Herais is casting over another woman, Sarapias, to “bring and bind her” (áxai kai katadésai).

It follows a similar but simpler formula as the other one. Herais asks the gods to bring and bind Sarapias’s soul (psukhé) and heart (kardía) to her without delay.

Just posting so you have some visually impacting thing, the kind of stuff that makes people stop their doomscrolling and think for a second.

A company has developed a platform that can generate electricity from the temperature gradient of sea water, and desalinize water on the spot.

The first prototype, tested in the Canary Islands, is functional, working, storm-proof, and the company is preparing to scale its deployment

They say it could easily substitute 25GW of fossil fuel generators in small island nations across the world.

More info of the prototype deployed (in spanish, you'll have to use auto-translate).

It doesn't get much more optimistic than a cosmic party saying "this is a happy world".

The off voice at the end says "Whoever you are, wherever you come from, [beer brand], get in!"

It's a good excuse to get a GOG account and start exploring our alternative to american gaming platforms!
