Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Cool, like underfloor heating but in reverse. If it works well, of course.
Nice 26c is fine.
oh, so it doesn't work...
26C is way too hot for me to sleep properly.
Imagine training your whole life for one Olympics where you're at peak performance, then having it fucked up because organisers decided to do this performative nonsense.
No wonder half the teams are bringing air con.
Underfloor heating is great. Underfloor cooling without some form of dehydration will lead to condensation, moisture, and mould.
Not to mention, hot air rises up from the floor. Cold air…doesn’t.
Therefore they need ventilators
Or run the piping in the ceiling?
Indirectly they are, since they're multistory buildings.
RIP to the top floor.
79f is not exactly chilly, circulating air makes it feel more comfortable.
It's not exactly hot either though, after being in 35+c sun, it's pretty chill.
For reference, my aircon is set to 27c in summer (still comfortable, but cost effective) and 18c in winter (WHO minimum recommended house temp, any less is a health hazard - also for cost effectiveness - electricity is expensive)
I hear you, but 79 is "hot" if you are used to be in 70 degree ac. They will get used to it of course but athletes don't want to have to get used to it.
Why would having fans means it doesn't work? I use fans along with AC to make the cold air distribution faster, doesn't mean my AC is not working.
If you're running an AC and the room is still at 24°C+ I would say it's not working.
If the AC was set to 26 °C, you're expecting the temp to be below 24 °C? What are you even talking about?
You're not wrong, but if you're setting to 26c and still need a fan, you should just set it lower.
I personally run 27c in summer and don't need an additional fan.
I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.
So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it's a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.
Yeah, but we're talking about an underfloor cooling system here. They don't really have a way to distribute the cold air like air-conditioning systems do. So in the Olympic village's case, a fan should be needed.
No no, they'll provide FANS to serve as butlers. Fetch the odd cool drink, ice cream or condoms. That sort of thing
Idk if they tested enough to work out if it will be able to keep up with all the screwing they will happen
