A can opener from a convenience store. It was barely sharp enough to puncture the metal of the can and exploded the moment I turned the crank.

Not strictly cooling the apartment, but I keep a large supply of ice cold water ready to drink whenever I start to get too warm—if you can effectively cool yourself throughout the day, it raises the maximum comfortable temperature of the apartment as a whole, and it’s usually easier to cool a single body than a large volume of air.

This may come off as rude, but I ask out of genuine curiosity: why would you think this is a good idea?

Professional athletes also have some of the strongest unions in the country, since they’re a small group of practically irreplaceable workers, and many of the league structures are the result of collective bargaining between players and owners.
