Spain, Greece and parts of Italy get pretty hot in the summer. Spain just had some long stretches above 40C this year.

Wow, @Fosdick, sleeping with 5 dogs on the bed… but I found the mattress on the floor to be very good for my back, it provides a solid kind of flatness which I like. And it reminds me a little of the Japanese habit of just a thin futon on the ground, which I have tried in the past but found a bit much of a good thing.

Some info to help keep people safe. Heat index matters for those in more humid areas.

Made an interesting discovery on YouTube. I've been hearing about automated content channels, I clicked on a video that was completely AI generated, I then went to check out the channel itself. It puts out these 3 to 4 minute topics every half an hour or so constantly. Its only been in existence for about 3 months and already has over 2,000 videos. Someone must have a program to mass create and publish these things.

The reason Israel targets the high-rise buildings in Gaza is not for military gain but to demoralise Palestinians. By destroying homes and livelihoods in a single strike, whole families are displaced and communities are broken down. This is collective punishment, aimed at crushing the spirit of a people rather than achieving any real military objective.
