Parts of Italy could see highs of 48°C in the coming days stoking fears of an increase in heat-related deaths. Croatia, France, Greece, Spain and Turkey could also face temperatures of around 40°C.

  • Where did you read that? The higest temperature recorded in Italy was 48.8°C in Sicily in 2021. Southern Italy is hot, yes, but whats is considered "farly common" is 40-42°C in August, not July, and not 48°C

  • Just to continue this reasoning, why can the character be less perceptive when actively searching than when he is not?

  • Shouldn't you use passive perception (even with disadvantage)?

  • I'm absolutely not an expert in the field, but for identification is usually best to provide time of the year and location, since they greatly improve the chance of correctly recognizing the animal

  • Are these squirrels or some other kind of rodent? I've never really been so close to one. Do they usually nest near windows, or is this an exhibit of some kind?

  • I'm not going to shit on your excitement, I just want to give my perspective (and I liked the show!).

    You're right, this is a series that "builds a world". The main grip I (as many others) have, in relation to the books, is that the books build a universe and a whole history, in addition to the series. The characters themselves, aside from Hari Seldon and a couple of others, are relatively unimportant, and that's the beauty of it: it's a way of showing how psychohistory works, by not focusing on the individual but the whole society around them.

    This, of course, is quite difficult to translate to screen, but having one character being "the special one" goes really against the whole spirit of the worldbuilding set in the books (and that's why I'm quite interested in seeing how they portray The Mule). The gender and ethnicity changes I couldn't care less, but these kind of things... eh, they strip the story of what made it special in the first place.
