The record low was 15f / -9c. I made the mistake of camping out there without proper gear one winter night. “How cold could it get in the desert?” I thought. Whoops.
I don’t think people take dry heat seriously. Humid heat is obviously dangerous because you can’t sweat the heat out of your body as efficiently, but dry heat at these temperatures feels like walking outside and holding a hair dryer to your skin. It’s so fucking hot. You can feel the sun touching your skin like its physically reaching out. You sunburn from 5–15 minutes in the sun without sunblock. And it doesn’t cool off either, not really. Temperatures stay in the high 80s and low-to-mid 90s all night. “But it’s a dry heat” is really dismissive of how dangerous an unwavering 90–120° is, in this case for weeks on end.
You’re right, feels like stepping into an oven, as soon as you’re in the sun you feel like you’re starting to literally cook. It’s awful, and in a city it doesn’t cool much so you can’t cool off. If heat doesn’t get you the first day try the next when you’re with down a little.
I’d like to see how a dry heat compares because I’ve always heard it was better. This past week where I’m at in the states has been terrible, triple digit heat (I think it was 102 on Wednesday) with super high humidity and ridiculous UV levels; the air is thick and like a blanket wrapped around your head the moment you walk outside. Nights have been upper 70’s-low 80’s, I know it could be worse (thank god for a pool and AC), but this is way hotter than when I grew up.
after dying in greater vancouver region one summer some decade ago, I went to nevada and pet some donkeys or something. The degrees were higher but I wasn’t dripping with sweat like in vancouver. The real rain in raincouver was my sweat all along! Actually though its so gross. People regularly ask if I’m crying and if I need to take a break. One of the jobs in the past a customer actually called a manager to ask for them to give me an extra break for working so hard in the heat. I was fine, just looked like I pissed myself, then did a handstand and pissed myself again.
Getting rid of Chevron puts the entire environment at risk. Now any case of a corporation spewing out any sort of toxic crap anywhere doesn’t end up getting halted by the EPA, it gets put in front of a judge. And believe me, it will only take a few of those before we get to “corporations are presidents, my friend” in terms of what they can legally get away with.
Sort of. Chevron wasn’t good either. It put the expertise on the corporations in the field. The way to correct it would be to put expertise on the regulating bodies, like the EPA.
They already were favoring the defense by designating them the experts. The Chevron Deference was determined when the court ruled that they should defer to Chevron’s expertise when they were defending their case, since no one understood the field as well as they did.
It’s just trading one broken system for another. Both are completely asinine and corrupt.
Now to be appealed to SCOTUS where they will declare white supremacy to be not only legal, but mandatory. With Clarence Thomas writing the decision on behalf of the majority.
Awards the racists a lollipop each day. Payed for by African American and Hispanic citizens. The lollipops are specifically made in China by forced labor kids who were kidnapped from Africa.
Damage to the image of the sport?! The one that constantly has people cheating and being stripped of their medals? Oh yeah, wouldn’t want to ruin that!
They have no imagination when it comes to cheating in the Tour de France these days. Now, it’s all performance enhancing drugs. But back in the good old days-
“They would trail a thin piece of wire right behind a motor car, which, at one end, had a cork fixed on to the end of it,” Cossins explains. “And the rider would wedge the cork between his teeth. And then get towed along with this thing, this wire, pulling him along.”
There was a cool hightech one where they hid an invisible motor inside the frame of the bike. It could not move the bike by itself but it added a few watts that gave a clear advantage. road.cc/…/uci-warns-it-impossible-use-motors-tour…
Remember when they stripped Lance of his win, and they were going to award it to the next place finisher who didn’t also cheat, but they didn’t have one?
Finally we can put these homeless people under a solid roof with their own bed where the government will pay for all their meals and ensure they have time for recreation and socializing.
The important part is to go after him and other people in leadership. They was us to fight the local maga crowd, not them. Fighting the local maga crowd gets us nowhere.
Those people scattered hard when one of their’s died on January 6th. None of them really know how bad it gets in countries that actually go through revolutions. Not that we shouldn’t be prepared to protect ourselves, but they have no wherewithal to follow though to the end.
It’s because they’re the go along to get along cowards who end up ignoring the flesh scented ash falling from the concentration camp constructed 15 miles outside of their hometown because admitting they were wrong would mean they accept responsibility for their complicity.
Very few do, no matter the “side”, and those with the skills & training to do so all too often eat their own guns after the dust settles. In war, the only victors are the ones pushing pawns. Every single other creature is a victim to it, in one way or another.
People never see they’re in the boiling pot. Or the crab bucket. Or the slaughter line. Or the prison-filling shame machine. Or the no-one-else-is-as-special-as-you ritual paint before the holiday sacrifice. Etc.
I still hold that the “Heroes Work Here” signs all over the Bible belt would be atop guillotines instead if there were any sense salvaging this “nation”. 🙇🏽♂️
Revolutions are easy. You attend some rallies, you put some flags on your truck and you repost some memes on Facebook. If things get really dire, you change your profile picture for like a day or so.
Typical toxic abusive gaslighting BS, while enabling the violent crazies on his side to boot.
It is bonkers to me how these people would be tough to accept as the villain in a children’s movie, yet here they are in the real world with millions of grown-ass people supporting them.
It is not only in Madrid. When they say “Madrid unveils” it’s because Madrid is Spain’s capital so the government is there, it’s the same as “Spain’s government unveils”.
It also isn’t a far right thing, but a push by the left (the current government of Spain is lead by PSOE, Spain’s socialist party). Their reasoning is that porn is unhealthy for the kids and it teaches them that women are submissive or whatever.
I guess that gay porn won’t consume credits then because there is no women involved.
I agree that porn is not good for the brain. And i tends to portray women as submissive. Still, i do not believe it is necesary to ban it outright in this way. What a weird legislation.
“We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,” the Biden campaign told ABC News on Saturday.
I participated in a TV interview once, and was surprised to find that everyone got together beforehand to outline the interview, eg “OK first you can ask me about X, and I’ll answer Y so maybe you could follow up with Z, etc”
