Have You Tried Using Cheese?
And in brief British heatwave news:
Dr Ben Roberts, a senior lecturer in healthy buildings at Loughborough University, said applying yoghurt to the outside of windows can lower the temperature by up to 3.5C.
It was a month-long experiment. Behold your taxes at work.
In May, Dr Roberts and PhD student Niloo Todeh-Kharman conducted an experiment on two identical test houses at Loughborough University by putting yoghurt on the windows of one, but not the other. The experiment found the indoor temperature of the house with yoghurt on the windows was on average 0.6C cooler, but up to a maximum of 3.5C cooler when it was “hot and sunny.”
And before you ask,
[Dr Roberts] told the BBC the yoghurt smells for “30 seconds when drying” but that as soon as it has dried “the smell disappears.”
Oh, and should you be tempted:
For their experiment, the scientists at Loughborough University used a supermarket-brand of Greek yoghurt that has a fat percentage of about 10%.
Do let us know how it goes.
Should clarity be required, this is not some miraculous property of yoghurt, even of Greek yoghurt at 10% fat. It’s merely a function of any substance that can be smeared onto windows before drying white. Presumably, similar effects could be achieved by gluing toilet paper onto your windows, which would also alert neighbours to your cunning. Or by purchasing any of the commercially available window films that do much the same thing, only better.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye, and so forth.

I think that aphorism has been mentioned here before:
One should not hate a mad dog, but that does not mean one should not take steps to, one way or another, end the threat forever.
One should, however, hate the liberals who implement and enforce insane policies.
Maybe your punchable face is, to some degree, a result of your stupid and evil ideology.
Maybe your punchable face is, to some degree, a result of your stupid and evil ideology.
OTOH, maybe a stupid and evil ideology, to some degree, results in a punchable face, e.g., multiperforated, bad tatted, neon haired, soy beaded gits.
Agreed. Just as leftism both attracts evil dysfunctional people and also turns ordinary people into dysfunctional enemies of society.
I think I preferred Sniveling Little Rat-Faced Git and Dreary Fat Boring Old Git.
