YSK: If you reply to a comment, you should probably give it a vote
Why YSK? Comments you reply positively to, should definitely get your upvote. Comments you disagree with should be at your discretion. Trolls deserve downvotes (seriously, they live for those).

YSK about Cool Zones if you have no air conditioning.
Seniors are especially susceptible to heat sickness and death....
YSK that if you have an air conditioner you should turn it on before you need it.
Several years ago I waited until the first hot day of summer to turn on my AC. This is how I found out about one of the busiest times for repairmen and had to sweat for two weeks. Now I do a test run a couple of weeks before it heats up. Same goes for the furnace at the end of Autumn.

YSK hands, feet and the upper part of your face are the most effective vectors of heat relief, while draping a cold towel around your neck can actually stop you from cooling down. ( www.scientificamerican.com )
Why YSK: "Our bodies have a kind of emergency temperature relief valve. That valve is a special type of blood vessel: they’re called arteriovenous anastomoses. Most arteries and veins connect through a bed of very thin capillaries that bring nutrients and oxygen to cells. AVAs, though, are different. They are direct junctions...

YSK: Deer and rabbits "park" their babies and spend most of the day away from them. If you find a baby all alone, it is almost definitely not abandoned.
Why YSK: DON’T bring it somewhere to ‘save’ it unless it’s in immediate danger - you’re probably just kidnapping it from its mom. People find baby deer or rabbits with no parents nearby and think they’re abandoned, so they bring them to shelters to try to “save them”. In reality they’re just forcibly separating...
