This is the current weather forecast for where I live in Western Washington. I've lived in this home for more than 24 years and have never seen a more dire weather report. July and August are our hottest months, averaging roughly 78 degrees for a high. This is June and a whopping 111 is possible, if not likely.
This is our new homemade swamp cooler. It was built using a styrofoam cooler, 2 leaf blower elbow attachments, and a personal fan. Holds 16+ pounds of ice. Won't cool a room but does offer some relief if sitting in front of it. Designed for two. Each nozzle can be rotated independently.
Current estimated retail value in a world where bitcoin trades at $30k+ (and air conditioning units are in short supply) is conservatively estimated to be $15k+. That's just half a bitcoin for this truly unique and rare limited edition item. Not saying that you should embrace FOMO (fear of missing out) here, but the manufacturer will not be making many more. And don't forget to YOLO (you only live once). Item will be available on or after Tuesday. Free shipping! Personalized handwritten thank you note from the designer included with every purchase! ;)
