Among other things, I am seriously considering checking out
Gila Window Films,
a product to address this recommended by Enahs (there are just a few small
attic-type windows up here, but any little bit helps). Even then the AC up here will clearly remain a
few BTUs shy of what's required... at one point yesterday I started
seeing mirages.

Using some rough arithmatic in my head, printed on paper that number would be approximately 20 miles long! That's a big number.
Earlier this month, a group confirmed that it has found the largest prime number known about to date. The new number, expressed as 2 to the 24,036,583th power minus 1, has 7,235,733 decimal digits.
