He was never going to spend 44bn on Twitter. May as well have set his money on fire.
I'm sure that's what the lawsuit is about. I've read it was a very public hit job so he could reap the financial benefits from those who bought stock.

You Brits handling the heat OK?
I saw on Reddit, so it could be false, but something like only 10-20% of UK folks have AC in their homes. Is that true?
Less than that I would say. Our houses are built for cold weather. We have lots of wall and loft insulation to ensure we retain heat. We aren't used to weather anywhere near 40°C. I did consider getting AC installed, but for the sake of 5 days a year, it didn't really seem worth it...
That's strange to me because even in the high 70s, I still run some mild AC and definitely the fans of the AC unit just to circulate air because the air gets kind of stale. I think it's been 78+ since late-May here and only dips to about 60ish at night so it's been a constant hot streak.

You need one of these;Just need to work out how I approach temperatures that are 90+, if I continue without Aircon.
Well, at least it's over now, right?
Came here. 34C (94F) right now by the ocean in my part of Vancouver. 40C/105F in the interior. Supposed to last at least until after the upcoming weekend. AC is uncommon here since it's coastal Canada.
I got a portable unit. It's against strata bylaws but fuck the police. I feel bad for seniors who aren't living the thug life though.
What sucks is that we had a cold and rainy summer and it went straight to record breaking temperatures.
No its definitely a world wide thing. In colder or more temperate climates its generally not needed outside the 5 days a year it goes above 30C. There are many ways to design homes to create airflow to cool them, lots of countries do this.I guess AC is an American thing lol. I think homes in my area even have a unit for each floor. Heating and cooling on each. I think even poorer, inner city areas at least have a window unit.

But with global warming and all more and more of us will start to need AC.
The UK is surround by ocean which moderates temperatures to a very large extent.Despite living in Chicago, we still get three solid months of 70+ weather during the summer, if not more. I guess the UK is still a bit further north of us but not by that much? We still need the heat and AC on year round, one or the other. Maybe 30-45 days, total, in the Spring and Fall, combined, where we can do without either one.
Perhaps Europe's climate is still different than the US' even if countries are lateral to each other.
