Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise:

—Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!)
—Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well.
—No bloc close to majority.

Much stronger result than expect for the Macron bloc as well. Still, a big drop for them from outgoing Assembly (250, enough for governing with plurality).

Dang--the new cabinet hinges I ordered *yesterday morning* just arrived.

I am gonna miss amazon prime when our account lapses...

@XaoslordErie sweet zombie jesus--the trumpers are primarying the motherflippin *freedom caucus*?

Ordinarily I'd take some schadenfreude on this, but this just seems ominous...

LOL--my youngest told me she would not be comfortable being out & about with me if I was wearing this:

@Beanc yep, we definitely are. It's actually a heat pump & so more efficient than a straight a/c (I think). But ever since we got the solar installed we've been near-obsessed with our usage/generation ratio.

It definitely takes a bite, but so far it'smanageable.

@CinnamonGirlE heh--that would have been lovely, but def outside my competence to install.

The central air doesn't really make it to the top floor of the house, I think b/c the ductwork was designed for heat only.

DW put her foot down & insisted on buying a portable a/c for our bedroom, despite the fact that we have (in theory anyway) central air. It's bulky and noisy and was a surprising pain to install.

OMG am I in love with this thing. So cool in there now, and all through the night.

We affectionately refer to it as "the Blorgon"

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN fuuuuuck. So sorry you're having to deal with that.

Your daughter is lucky to have you--whether or not she currently appreciates that fact.
