I like checking the temp and my house vs. Peter Sinks, UT
At 6:30am it's 32f. I just went out to the truck and there is ice on the windshield. I just stand outside and be cold for a couple minutes.
The Vietnamese agree with you.Quote:

I still drink hot tea when it's hot out.
A coworker just told me that his kids summer camp was shut down yesterday. Apparently some Karen saw the kids doing jumping jacks in the park around noon, on a day when the high temp was 94- meaning that around noon it was mid 80s. She decided that it was an imminent danger to the kids health, so she started a Nextdoor thread that blew up, and all the other nieghborhood Karens grabbed their pitchforks and bombarded the camp director with emails and calls. This is a sports camp for 9/10 yr olds mind you. So, the predicted high temp yesterday was 97 and so the camp canceled yesterday leaving a lot of parents in the lurch.
What the fuck is wrong with some people?!?! Do they have no memory of being a kid and playing outside ALL DAMN DAY in the summer heat? Or of 3-5pm sports practice in the hottest part of the day?!?!
nope. around here, they won’t even let kids walk to school anymore. i’m not talking about the kids that are a couple of miles away or something like that. they took out the bike racks those kids used years ago. they’re busing kids that are on the same block as the school. because of the “danger“…
and folks wonder why the kids are rotund.
fact
Damn, we used to play baseball/football in 90 degree weather all the time when I was a kid in the south. No one gave a shit.
A few of my friends moved to Grand Junction last winter. Looking at the temps this week and wondering if they are regretting it. They tell me you get used to the heat. Fuck that, I don't want to get used to the heat. 75ºF is just fine with me. But their houses did cost 1/3 of mine and are nicer. Haha
Mmm, love the Snapdragon Vietnamese pho and miso ramen bowls from Costco. Might have to make one for lunch today to celebrate breaking the 100 degree mark for the first time this summer. I'll throw a handfull of spinach in with the noodles and call it soup and salad.Quote:

I do not.Quote:

People drink hot tea in India. That's about all you need to know.Quote:

It's getting to the point that I expected a gator to come crawling out of the sky to drag me up to the clouds and death roll me. Can't fucking wait.
That's downright dangerous. :mad:Quote:

4 month old dies from heat sickness after being on Lake Havasu last weekend:(
They set up a gofundme that has so far raised 50k.Quote:

This belongs in the POS People thread IMO. fuck.
They should be in prison but they’re still on the hook for a helicopter ambulance ride and probably lawyer fees.Quote:

Spicy food is supposed to help your body cool down via perspiration.
Supposed to!? I just don't want to sweat anymore. There's nowhere for it to go. And I've never been convinced spicy food is supposed to be food. That shit is for the birds.
And they've just reissued the excessive heat warning. Yay!
Jeez, man - you're pretty much wrong about everything. :DQuote:

It's blowing at 20-30 mph in Phoenix, and still 113 degrees so it's like a sandblaster and a hair dryer all in one out there. But it's a dry heat at least.
Standing on the freshly laid asphalt yesterday for an hour and a half was fun.

fact.
It's fun to bitch about, but honestly it's not so bad. It's wild doing all my summer activities in the winter and doing things like indoor climbing and hockey in the summer, but the infrastructure supports the climate.Quote:

I imagine the actual pavement was 40+ degrees hotter. Shit, last week when the air temps was in the mid 90s I had Ms Boissal pull over so I could go check in the trunk and make sure I had socks in there. I was barefoot and roasted the sole of both my feet in the 15 seconds it took. I see people walking their dogs mid afternoon, fucking criminals.Quote:

We used to go to this Sri Lankan restaurant in Hollywood for lunch, and the food was incendiary, but fucking amazing. We would always order it spicy, because we'd be sitting there sweating and suffering while eating and the owner would feel sorry for us and give us all free mango lassis.Quote:

Is there a higher carbon footprint activity than indoor ice hockey in a phoenix heat wave? Asking for a friend.
Free lassis! That’s awesome! There is (or used to be) a doaist eatery in San Diego that’d make their food super spicy. They’d get a kick out of watching the hippy kids float out of their chairs. It’d be so hot that you’d spice your friends by kissing them on the lips after eating. Had to be careful where you’d put your mouth later in the day! And yer shit would burn for days. Good times!
I love spicy food.
My local airport was over 100* before noon today. We have no central AC at home. I’m glad it’s not smoky and that we can open up the house and cool it off a little bit at night.
private jets and super yachts?Quote:

I’ve always heard warmer water absorbs faster into your system but I don’t know if that’s actually true.
