I am aware, I got called a ‘little cretin’ while on site with some coworkers.

Some people just have to be part of the few that see something first.

You got a license to drink on those legs mate?

Classic Cisco design.

My previous 2 flats were hotter inside versus outside during summer.

Everyone recommends keeping windows and curtains closed, but it made no difference for me.

I’d assume if my flat was hotter inside than outside, then having my windows open could not hurt. I could never figure out something that worked and my old London flat hit 37.5 Celsius once.

My new flat is on the ground floor at the back of the building in the shade all day and so much cooler. But I on,y have windows on kne side so getting a nice breeze going when I want might not work.

Hit a maximum of 25 in my flat this week thankfully, no fan or aircon.

I just had a look and the channel I originally saw the video on has a Canadian flag on it.

So most likely a north American thing, but might show up in other places.

Oh, had a look online and it says it is somewhat common in Europe, like Northern Italy but originates from Eastern Europe and Russia.

Been a while since I saw the videos, but they do it the same way as with other jams.

Boil the cones or fruit in some water and sugar.

The cones become soft (they are the young and unopened cones) and I’m guessing the flavour is similar to the smell of pine tree sap.

Pine cone jam is a thing.

Saw a few YT videos on it a while back, looks pretty good to me.

The way he would constantly advertise his website during his act still haunts me to this day… it randomly just creeps up on me.
