For the record, cold blooded animals also produce heat as a byproduct of respiration and exertion, they just don't self regulate their temperature like warm blooded animals and as a result generally produce much less body heat.

They are also just as vulnerable to losing body heat if the room is cold. They don't "run warm" but they bask to raise their body temperature and lose that body heat to the air and the ground as they go about their day if their energy level is insufficient to make up for losses to the air. If snakes were comfortable being the same temperature as the air they wouldn't need to bask in the light.

What underscores said but also the conductor let's players know who needs to be heard and who needs to play quieter. It'll vary by venue and just, day to day variations of energy levels how relatively loud different sections are, the conductor makes sure that the levels are right for the audience since it's impossible to judge from inside the orchestra as a player.

As an american I'm amazed they only have one case of foreign object removal per year.

Portland is so good at introducing new laws that make the busses slower that drivers won't follow because nothing is enforced and existing traffic laws already would protect pedestrians if they were actually enforced. Turns out no amount of PBOT meddling will make up for police that don't do their fucking jobs. Fuck off pbot. I almost miss ODOTs not giving a single fuck about our road maintenance and actively hating transit.

Also just having the guts to close city center to cars would solve basically everything but nobody has the balls.
