i looked for a bit but can't seem to find the no ac claim, they do say that convection currents around the buildings help eliminate the need for high energy fans, am i missing something?
-Each room is cooled using silent convection, doing away with the need for energy-heavy air-conditioning fans.
it's so fucking humid there though, any reduction would be a god send

If you have an interest in particle physics, FermiLab has several publications that range from basic particle physics research to extremely technical articles about the operation of LHC and its experiments.
I've been following the work at the LHC for decades, but be forewarned. The articles are often impenetrably dense and complete gibberish unless you're well acclimated to the jargon. You'll also need some level of intimacy with the Standard Model. Not balls out "Hulk Smash" level of coitus. More like second base, over the clothing, groping.
edit - believe it or not though, the target audience is lay people.

pretty impressive
Gervase of Tilbury (1200s) says:
Some say that Solomon was the first to discover, which some include in a ring an unclean spirit, by which they command other demons. But there were also exorcists among the Jews, who cast out demons by the exorcisms of Solomon, especially if the root of a certain herb was placed in the nostrils of the possessed. For Josephus says that he saw a certain exorcist captured and brought to Vespasian, while he was besieging Jerusalem, who placed a ring, under the gem of which was a root, in the nose of a certain possessed man and he adjured the demon and the demon came out. But to prove that the demon had been cast out, he placed a basin full of water in the middle, and adjured the demon to overturn the basin, and it overturned it.
But also Cyprian, a certain Carthaginian magician, had demons locked up in a box, and whenever he wished, he sent them to carry out his business. One day, therefore, he ordered them to bring to him the virgin Saint Justina, whom he loved, and they could not; for she had protected herself with the sign of the cross. When he found this out, the magician immediately became a Christian, and together with the virgin he underwent martyrdom in the faith of Christ.
We read that magicians also raised the dead with certain characters tied under each armpit, and they make them speak and walk, but they cannot possibly make them eat, which belongs to God alone.
---------------------------
In the time of Jacob, a virgin appeared at Lake Triton, whom the Greeks called Minerva. She invented many arts, and especially weaving (wool-making). The same was called Pallas from Pallene, an island in Thrace where she was raised, or from the giant Pallas, whom she killed.
----------------------------
In Belgium, a city in Gaul, from which Gallia Belgica or Belgium is called, the use of chariots was invented; of which it is said thus: "The Belgae of the Celtiberians are called Belvacum Belga."

I only saw my first around here maybe a month ago. I'm sure they've been around the whole time, but I never saw them. Usually it's possum if I hear something rustling in the night.

When i was a kid, we used to go camping and chain o lakes state park in northern il. Im not exagerating when i say there were roaming packs of raccoons just waiting to steal your shit. All food had to be locked in the car at night. After dark, they would swarm in and drag off anything not tied down or locked up.

Oh! My dude. You are missing out on some seriously low-brow entertainment.
Infrared cams are dirt cheap these days and definitely the only way to go for spying on the critters.
Then, if you just want to fk with them, they'll never know you're watching. So you can play mean tricks on them and they're like 'WTF???'
i mean, come on. You can't even try to argue that they don't deserve it.
