In Jersey it would be 68, in Florida it's 76. Still don't know why it's different, it feels like the same temperature, probably because of different AC units.
Your Florida house might have the AC on all the time and that airflow makes it feel like youre cooler. That might also decrease the humidity in the house, which also makes it feel cooler. Or your thermostat might just be super off or in a bad location.

I redacted a second part in this article that talks about another infant baby girl that was born with some problems, UK didnt want to do anything, and Italy wanted to help again, but UK denied the family to transfer the baby girl there. So the baby girl just died. Like what the fuck? Why would you not allow the baby girl to transfer to another hospital to attempt a lifesaving surgery, especially if you dont even want to try?
Thinking about this some more, why do you even need UKs permission to move your own child?

The unidentified boy, whose UK-based parents are said to be Italian and Nigerian, suffers from a congenital heart condition. Doctors at a Bristol hospital told his parents they could not operate on him, because he was too unwell.

His parents contacted Italian authorities and the experienced lawyer Simone Pillon, to get him treated elsewhere. Italian authorities said they would help and following a High Court ruling, the baby was allowed to be transferred.

Italy sent a military aircraft with a full medical team to the UK, and the baby was flown away.
He underwent surgery this week at the Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital, and is now recovering. Italian doctors said he is "fighting" and "wants to live". Mr Pillon said: "The operation was available in the UK, but the doctors decided that, following the protocols of the UK, the baby was not fit for the operation. They decided that he was too ill.

The doctors in the Vatican hospital examined the papers and decided they could do it. The British doctors were wonderful because they allowed the transfer.

The baby was operated on and its going well and the doctors said that he wants to live and that hes fighting. I believe that he will have another operation as soon as possible."

A spokesperson for University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust said: "We worked with Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital to support the safe transfer of a newborn patient to Rome.
"Due to patient confidentiality, it would not be appropriate to go into specific details regarding a patient's care."

I do not know a single owner who didn't renovate, build elaborate outdoor dining spaces, buy a car or just "lose" the money. Wage theft in restaurants is why I got out of the industry. It's so, so bad.

During covid and prior to widespread availability of vaccines, tipping for pick up was the norm since these brave souls were putting themselves on the line as essential workers to ensure you can pick up your favorite restaurant food.

But what about now, in 2024, with covid done, and vaccines widely available, and the world almost back to normal; do you tip when picking up your food?

Yea you caught me. I did have a thought where I was thinking about moving it, and even Google'd it while I was up there with the ladder, and saw that birds will abandon their nest if you move it. So I did decide to throw the whole nest out. I did actually accidentally knock it off though... I meant to grab the whole thing as one unit and throw it in the garbage can to not create a mess.

Bird shouldnt have planted a nest over a regularly used area.
^ That's not me being obtuse, by the way. We use the grills weekly (i.e., it's a regularly used area with a lot of human activity). The bird should have been smart enough to avoid human contact.

Especially with food being cooked and served directly under where the bird decided to plant its nest, the last thing I want is a bird shitting on the food or bringing worms or some other unsanitary stuff near our human food.

Between this and your topic about ditching that baby chick you were given, I've noticed you have a startling lack of empathy for animals.
I wanted to rehome the free baby chick I got, so I dont kill it with my ignorance on taking care of a chicken. Thats empathy! As for wild animals, I agree with you, I have a severe lack of empathy. Ever since I moved from NYC into this fuckery of a place in PA, Ive had snake, possum, rats, and raccoon problems in my house, which is precisely why I said fuck it and hired a pest company to regularly treat my house and be on call for whenever this shit happens to me.

*EDIT* I forgot, I also had god damn bats in my house and had to get rabies shots for my entire family, including a 14 month old (at the time). Four shots bro that wasnt fun.

I bought the Pixel 6 Pro because I fell for their Tensor chip and AI-powered photo-editing software "that only their Tensor chip can do". I then disliked all the small issues the Pixel 6 Pro had, and just switched back to iPhone 14 Pro when that came out just a year later.

Shortly after that, Google released the "amazing Tensor-only-capable AI-powered photo-editing" to Google One (storage subscription) users. And now, it's being released to all Google Photo users:

You should go with Subzero or Viking, which are tried and true brands. I'd stay away from Thermador (despite their pretty cool open assist feature) or Liebherr, since Thermador is relatively new in the refrigerator business (a decade or so), and Liebherr is just one cog in a giant conglomerate machine. If those are out of your budget, then go with JennAir or Miele.
