122F/50C in Washington, Oregon and Cali next week.

Texans are manly enough. Adversity makes them free.

Meanwhile I'm hearing a friend in New Zealand complain about the cold and ice.

At 3 in the morning here around Miami floriduh you walk into a 90 degree and humid soup when you leave the air conditioning. The sun rises and it is in the 90s before 7 am. This happens starting around april and might change in October. The rain is warm when it falls. They do not have cool water running from the tap. Every pool is a couple degrees below 100. When it does rain it does not cool down, it simply becomes more humid.

I walk into old people's houses who do not use their air conditioners and I just want to beat them to death, but it is too fucking hot. I get your pain, but next week when the heat goes away you will be better off. Floriduh will still be horribly hot. So get an AC and quit your bitching because you do not need any more hot humid air coming from your cake hole.

Shit just got real

I never spent more than two days in Okinawa and we never got to leave in the daylight hours.

The humidity is absolute ass in mainland Japan too, to the point that I wore nothing but the shortest regulation shorts I could find. I didn't wear regular pants from mid-April until we came back from our fall cruise that Thanksgiving.

That the Georgians and Texans told me their states were even worse confirmed that I will never live east of the Mississippi. The 4 weeks I spent in Mississippi was more than enough for me.

I suspect that Tropical Storm Danny managed to suck up a lot of the humidity like a giant sponge while lingering off the eastern seaboard.

In what world does it make sense that it's 100 degrees in New Jersey, but shy of 90 at the same time in Charlotte?

Thank you for bringing that to our attention. This is not acceptable. We didn't take care of our agriculture workers during covid very well and aren't doing a better job now. It is really sad.

When the Portland/PNW heatspike becomes part of Colbert's monologue...

A world that is sick, infected with humans. A parasite that sucks up whatever resources it can without a thought about tomorrow. They burrow. They inject poisons. They are an infestation that evolves to find new ways to harm it's host. That is the kind of world that it make sense that it's 100 degrees in New Jersey, but shy of 90 at the same time in Charlotte.

We're one of those crazyass places that gets every kind of extreme weather at one time or another. Don't like the weather in NJ? Wait.

Although I doubt the building collapse had anything to do with climate change.

it doesn't appear so. But, the owners of the building knew about the problems 3 years ago and failed to address them. I'm thinking these are reasons to shut down a public building.

It’s all speculation at this point but someone was saying that the flooding caused by the increasing number of hurricanes was a likely contributor.

ground infiltration of saltwater may be a contributor, but this happens all the time when you live on the beach.

As for a public building, it wasn't. It was a privately owned condo. Entirely the responsibility of the owners association and the owners.

Completely separate from the building collapse, at the same link, what the heck is DeSantis thinking?


Sure. Let them kill each other and let God sort 'em out. What do I care?



What possible reason to have a law that discourages training?

1.I love Abby Acone
2.I will try to take a picture of Buckner Glacier tomorrow and do some comparrisons.
3. The water level in the lake is really high right now, but it was projected to be at this level....so I guess that isn't as surprising, but it did seem to go up quite rapidly.

As I recall, dinner hated the homeless as much as he hated immigrants, so things like this ought to be causing him a stroke.

I don't recall Dinner as much as I do Sokar's rants about the homeless.

On a scale of 1 to 10 regarding how fucked we are, apparently the answer is and has been "11."

Hey, I have an extra roll of Reflectix from my trailer build I can donate to the cause!

Most of Dinner's greatest hits were during that time you were away from the board, I think, but given how much he hated Sokar until he died, it's astonishing how many of his talking points he parrots nowadays.
