TIL it's the Latin word for jester
I wouldn't say it's surprisingly easy. It's possible, but it comes with substantial costs. Paris is throwing a ton of money at some of the solutions you've mentioned and the results are meager at best. Hopefully they'll improve as time goes on.
Give it a few years and a few more heat waves, all the people living in old buildings which are too expensive to insulate will be getting ac. There's no getting around the basic need for fresh air, no matter old habits and environmental costs. I'm sticking to ice packs and cold showers for now, don't know for how much longer though.
As far as Paris is concerned, we're actually extremely ill-prepared for high heats. Parisians have the highest risk of heat-related death in Europe. Hardware stores are packed with AC units every summer now because people are forced to start using them. Luckily we've had terrible weather so far this summer, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Eeeeeeeeh bah...
To be fair the supposed point of the snap elections is to make the far right seem impotent by forcing them into a divided government (which is already a terrifying "strategy": just give them the keys to the building and hope for the best?) They're just refusing to play that game. The fact that the president is playing around with the country's future like this is a fucking unconscionable disgrace.
Thankfully they only last 10 minutes
No, you must always throw the other half away.
You've got the right idea though, PCR is usually necessary before electrophoresis in order to amplify the sample being tested so that it will give a legible result.
I study linguistics and a lot of different languages, and what you said made me think of how the difficulty in learning a second language depends on how different it is to our native tongue, or how accents within our own language are difficult to understand depending on how different and unfamiliar they are to us. Yet people tend to insist that certain languages are 'simply' hard, and insist that unfamiliar grammar or pronunciation 'make no sense', no matter how many millions of people use them naturally since childhood. I think it's very difficult to imagine things which are instinctive to us being anything other than immanent truths about the universe, and anything contradicting those instincts feels wrong. What is familiar feels simple and obvious, difference feels complicated and somehow malicious; it's 'unnatural'. What is natural is ourself, everything else is crazy.
I think it's just anger about being out of touch. You can't make comedy in a vacuum, it necessarily draws on contemporary culture, and Jerry's probably feeling a bit left in the dust. But he frames it in a way where he feels victimized. That's my reading for most embarrassing or offensive old comedians though, so maybe I'm painting with too broad a brush.
I'm pretty confidently in the 'oh well, I'm done' camp. Where's my poem 😫

Huh weird, I guess remake must have messed with my memory
Seems right up my alley but there's a snowballs chance in hell of me coughing up that much dough for it. Good on the devs for finding their market though.
Buddy, that's the same point, that pain fucks with you and it takes distance and introspection to grow from it, otherwise you wither into self-pity and callousness.
My argument was simply that empathy is not the result of hardship, but of personal growth. I meant none of it as a personal attack, I'm sorry if my wording was ambiguous. It's all good dude.
