If the air temperature outside is 35°C mechanical cooling is literally required to lower the indoor air temperature below 35°C Heat energy will enter your home and it will equalize with the outside temperature unless you have a mechanical machine to push that heat back out.

My formative media experiences in 2002-2003 were Captain Amelia, Kim Possible, and GITS: SAC Motoko, and man, that was a 1-2-3-KO

once again the "if you put two women together you can contrast them through the mutual dynamic and avoid siloing girls into one mode of being" principle is a win win

I MEAN LOOK

Every decade of my life I have watched Major Kusanagi sexily fall off that damn building in a new way and you know what: I bet it'll still get my ass the next time, too

Very excited that Major Matoko Kusanagi will have her rightful opportunity to completey destroy the brains of horny anime fans for the third decade in a row

As others have said, the problem is getting worse but the solutions are getting better. The last few years are the first time in this space I've felt like I've had so many tools I can point to and go 'This is ready, it's affordable, it works, it's proven, it's better' etc and it's just a slam dunk

in other words, the enemy is fighting a war you started

The palette is so pristine

God it's so good.

new gits dub cast is surely great but god imagine 2026 batou's faces paired with SAC Richard Epcar voice

Comparison between both "Ara so?". Maaya Sakamoto (new GITS) also voiced child Major in the end of the 1995 movie. Which makes both Atsuko Tanaka (RIP) and MK major in the same movie. I love both renditions a lot.

When I say GitS was a big influence on Dark Science, this is what I mean

(watched GITS 2026) Oh god oh man I think this is gonna do things to me

Subordinate, pointing at something on table: “But-“ “When I want your opinion, I’ll ask for it, Surgeon Colonel”

surgeon general standing in front of a huge table with a detailed miniature hospital on it, using a big stick to move little surgeons around

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

We are rolling into hurricane season with the Gulf of Mexico at hotter temperatures than any time in recorded history. One big Gulf hurricane aimed at the refinery coast and we will have $10 gas in a heartbeat. Don’t count on El Niño to keep the hurricanes away. We are off the map here.

No, but it's cheap in the minds of his elite backers living in DC and New York.

Somewhere some retired federal white collar prosecutor just came to point like an old hunting dog who saw a particularly stupid and large duck out the window bsky.app/profile/rico...

where the fuck is the GAS coming from for this? is it from our fucking strategic reserves? where the fuck is the MONEY coming from this? where in the WIDE WORLD OF FUCK is there anything even APPROACHING legal basis for this shit?

It’s easy to forget after so many years of war that Zelensky was a brilliant comedian before becoming president.

The ceasefires counted as stoppage time, so the war actually goes on longer

When my Civ VI game gets really interesting

"Air-to-air heat pump warming a house on a cold winter's day, running off a solar panel" breaks our lizard brains because it's so outside of what we think heating can *be*.

My walk through GITS (starting in 2008) went backward chronologically: SAC (1st Gig, 2 Gig, SOLID STATE) Then 1995 + Innocence Then Manga It was a blast to see key "canon events" appear in different lead-ins and styles and contexts. 😍 Also, the USSR showed up in the 1991 manga... set in 2029. 😁

the GitS (2026) OP is fine but that ED is so fucking good I need the full song

god gits is the most awesome shit

They Ghost in her Shell till she (The new anime is out! Yayy!!) #ghostintheshell #gits #motokokusanagi

the gits anime successfully captured the vibe of everything being super sci fi but technology being absolutely fucking shitty and not working half the time

Ah, Suzie Yeung's the new EN Motoko VA. But yeah, did a VERY good job. Somehow also sounds like a younger version of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's Motoko in a few places, unintentionally or not.

Yeah. The new GITS absolutely has the sauce.

comm for slice <3 #art

Mitch McConnell was in Congress during the Terri Schiavo case, so in a way it does feel like an act of delayed karmic justice if it turns out that it is in fact his turn to have the GOP puppet his corpse around to score political points rather than allowing him a peaceful exit with some dignity

Jesus, that last attempt at bookshelf assembly clearly did NOT go well

This is an important point that it seems like a lot of people don't fully grasp. We don't impose *legal* penalties until something is proved to appropriate standards in a court case. But we don't need legal findings to make judgements like "I don't trust him" and vote for someone else.

The Hayabusa2 flyby of Torifune is an example of a "fast reconnaissance concept" where close by spacecraft designed for completely different missions might be swiftly conscripted to check out an asteroid that is on a collision course for the Earth. Turns out... that can work out quite well 😂

The history of computing in the Ghost in the Shell end credits is reminiscent of the history of rocketry in Planetes's OP. youtu.be/CZ-OyT4ivkM?... And on the right, I think that's Albert Michelson's Harmonic Analyzer from TheEngineerGuy videos. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We are so back, chooms 🤩 #gits #ghostintheshell The soundtrack is full of brass and jazz, this is fantastic.

This is the most hilarious little league home run I've ever seen, the Royals have outdone themselves

picking random brushes and seeing what happens

You know i had to draw best girl too

- oh you’re back early! - (loading pistol) shell’s haunted

This Is Just To Say I told you so about that thing you disagreed with me about of which irrefutable proof has now emerged Forgive me it is too delicious too sweet not to remind you that you were wrong

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Mitch McConnell!? Three weeks in the hospital? Talking for twenty minutes? Entirely localized on your phone? Yes. Can I hear him? No
