That's an odd choice of light fixture to attach to a ceiling fan

Omg I love it!! The wooden ceiling panel in the living room(?) is gorgeous. GA is Georgia though, right? In the south? I would have thought aircon is must there, but then I’m in the UK and only need to use a fan a handful of times a year. Are electric ceiling fans like that enough to keep the house cool?

I was thinking whitewash and mirrors! If the owners of the buildings either side even allowed it that is.

Someone posted one above: https://lemmy.world/comment/2377576 In this thread @Emperor found some similar ones too.

It’s not the house itself that makes me sad - it’s kinda cute and I dream of a private garden. But I suspect this house was here before the (presumably) commercial buildings either side and that makes me sad. Like Chinese nail houses.

I think the house being there first is the more likely scenario. I like your optimism though!

Sorry, most of these are ancient. You could try reverse image search but I don’t suspect you won’t find much more info.

Depending on its orientation, it’s probably pretty dark inside too.

Hawaii fires: 'Tourists swim in the waters we died in'

I was thinking more along the lines of a large proportion of locals must work in the tourist industry - whether that’s owning hotels, working in them, owning touristy shops, tour guides, surf instructors etc etc. The locals haven’t just suffered loss of life, property and sites of historic importance, a lot of them will lose their jobs without tourism. “Economy” was the wrong term I guess. People need those jobs not just to live but to rebuild their lives and their property.

Playing football may increase risk of Parkinson’s disease, study suggests

Do rugby players suffer concussions as frequently as American football players? If they don’t, could the helmets be making the problem worse - encouraging players to hit with their heads more, like a false sense of security? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don’t know anything about American football and not much more about rugby!

EDIT: it seems like rugby players are more prone to concussions than NFL players, but I might not be completely off the mark about helmets offering a false sense of protection:

“Rugby players are believed to play more aggressively when using scrum caps; however, studies have shown these make no difference for protecting against head injuries.”

Tourism will play a huge part in helping the community recover economically too. They’re going to need tourists to stay/come back asap. I thought the Greek president was canny to offer tourists affected by the wildfires in Rhodes a free holiday next year.
