what is your strategy to survive heatwaves? I'm curious

I was so ready to say that there is no strategy other than the obvious stuff, and then I remembered my first year in Italy when none of it was obvious at all 😂

So, all activity outside AC areas only before 11.00 or after 19.00 + linen and cotton clothes and open shoes + going out of the city when I have the chance + a water bottle and a fan when going out

I am lucky to have both AC and a fan at home, so I can't complain too much tbh. Hbu? I don't remember what part of the US you're from originally, was the climate there different from [redacted] your new country?

Edit: oh, and of course the uncountable liters of okroshka!

Are you serious about being named after a pet space lizard from a soviet sci fi novel?

I feel like there's a bit of a story there to tell. If you feel comfortable, I'd like to hear it.

Have a good day!

Alas, the only story to tell is that my mom told me "oh yeah you were totally named after a pet space lizard from a soviet sci fi novel", AND THEN I NEVER MANAGED TO FIND OUT WHICH NOVEL IT WAS

She doesn't remember the title, and Google is of no help rippp

tho I will say that between the two worst heats I have ever experienced: (1) desert Nevada in summer and (2) Mediterranean Italy in summer. Italy was worse

IT'S BAD. IT'S REALLY BAD.

But you know what is even worse than Italy in summer? St. Petersburg for like 10 months a year. Leave out of the equation all the other things, I still win on the weather points alone

popping boba has the exact texture as fish roe, which is why I cannot stand them (mochi and tapioca are the best though)

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I LIKE fish roe. Idk why the texture fits that flavor, but not fruit- wait maybe because my brain is telling me that coconuts and strawberries shouldn't pop like that. Mochi and tapioca ftw!!!!!!!!
