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.

Thankfully they only last 10 minutes

No, you must always throw the other half away.

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.

Huh weird, I guess remake must have messed with my memory

It's at least disc 2, disc 1 ends when you leave midgar

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.

In France there are plenty of people who ask for Dafalgan or neurofen but have no idea what paracetamol or ibuprofen are.

Hey, you leave them and their strawwomen alone!
