It's hotter than a whore house on nickel night

[stuckathuntermtn]

It is so unpleasantly hot. And the river is low. And it cools off outside at night by having all that heat go into my apartment, especially bedroom. I am in hell and there aren't enough gin and tonics in the universe to get me through it. Running my portable ac, but it's barely doing anything. Can't wait to get the bill for it. Wish this place was insulated with more than the optimism of a different era.

I feel like having a regular sauna routine has helped my heat resilience.

Exposure is really the only way for me to tolerate it. And mentally being ok with sweating nonstop.

101 here in NW Deschutes County today.

Was able to keep the indoor temp at 75F until Ms TBS decided she needed to bake some tortillas into chips in the oven for the tortilla soup she decided she needed to make today. Temp went to 80 within minutes of her pulling the baked chips out of the oven.

Only getting to mid 90s tomorrow - still 10-15 above “normal”.

It looks like most of the country is in a heat wave.

I'm just glad I'm not in New England right now. Hot sticky mess. West coast heat is hot, but adding the high humidity of the East side makes it unbearable.

[Buzzworthy]

Even my tomatoes are displaying their displeasure. Heat is just radiating off the city here. Got another 7-8 degrees to go.

Dude this is salad weather.

[mcski]

Tossed salad

[bodywhomper]

I just went through training at work for working in hot weather. There are tables and formulas about expectation of tolerance and amount of required breaks based previous and recent heat exposure.

Dude this is salad weather.

IKR?
Have everything needed for a (already) grilled chicken, afacade and strawberry salad.
Or I coulda whipped up a birria de chivo salad

And there was everything needed for a great mezza platter in the refrigerator and pantry as well.

But no, she has to make tortilla soup on a 100* day

And, I would have been perfectly happy using tortilla chips from a bag instead of freshly oven-baked.

This should probably be in the “I love my wife and all” thread

Carry on

[Buster Highmen]

I love my wife too.

It's never too hot for soup.

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.

I’m leaving Utah today and headed north. Only 10ish degrees cooler highs in Teton Valley, but the overnight temps are so much better.

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?!?!

[m2711c]

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.

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

[yeahman]

The Vietnamese agree with you.

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.

Weather tax is really worth paying if you can afford too. While CA roasts inland, the Island has been pretty pleasant so far, but there is always September.

I like the heat. My cut-off for my evening bike ride is 100. We do have a very dry heat though. I fished in 109 Sunday. Wasn't too bad once I was nads deep in the river. You really do get used to it.

I do not.

The Vietnamese agree with you.

Vietnam is hot and humid. Its inhabitants tolerate those conditions better than this mountain boy. I melt when it gets over 85, so I don’t need hot soup to increase my core temp when it’s hot out.

Now that it’s gonna be down to low 90s, we are having chicken/peach salads for dinner tonight. I’m grilling the chicken outside…

[The AD]

I still drink hot tea when it's hot out.

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

[RTsucks]

Got to work today 5:45, shop temp at 97. Humidity over 90. 112 by 7:30. Yesterday was worse. Decided to order dinner. New summer menu, lots of seafood. All of it fucking spicy. How? Just fucking how? 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.
