I'm sorry we base our temperature off a scale relative to the human body instead of where water loving boils.

But yeah, socal and Arizona are hot as gently caress right now. Also on fire.

Car temp sensor hit 111° at 3pm in Pasadena, mercury thermometer said 106 in the shade. My dad helps organize the local PD charity car show and when I stopped by it was pretty miserable :v:

Good weather for drinking light beer and wet sanding the new global warming apocalypse-friendly hood I'm modding for the Jeep:

Luckily for me, we get to tolerate sub-zero temperatures for a few months and sub-freezing temperatures for like five months every year in exchange for a mild and comfortable 95 degrees F. And a bajillion percent humidity. I don't have A/C. :suicide:


Also, watched Filmage instead of The Other F Word, didn't know it existed until today. If your name happens to be STR or MustardFacial, watch that poo poo. The Descendents have quickly become my favorite band over the last six months or so, and now I love them even more. Such a cool bunch of dudes.

Thankfully my wife and I bought a house last summer. Made in 2006. Well insulated and air conditioned! Only hit 119 here, too! Downright comfortable if you don't go outside... Tomorrow is supposed to be 123 and I have to leave the house multiple times...

That's pretty damned warm. Supposed to be cooling off slightly here after today (cooling is relative of course):



Of course the airport where those numbers come from is not typically the hottest reading in the valley. Pretty sure it only hit 118 at the airport today, and it was 122 at the closest station to my house, and 126 at that one in Ahwatukee and another one up in the NW part of the valley.

Yeah I think 110 is my theoretical threshold of "nope, even as a dry heat gently caress that"; 120 is "soak in an ice bath" territory. Stay safe, desert goons.

Moved the big furniture pieces from my mom's to my new place. I have a bed there now! And tables! And a couch several chairs! Just need to get my shower curtain and the last of my clothes moved over; I think tonight will be my last night in the shithole, and with jackass still out of town it's not even so bad here. Internet gets activated on Tuesday so that's when I'll be living in style, only 25mbps but we'll see if I actually need more; the only online game I play is war thunder which takes surprisingly little bandwidth apparently.

Then I went and had dinner with my dad, he's in town staying at a nice hotel so we ate at the restaurant there. Had some loving tasty snapper over crab/corn risotto; it's extremely rare I eat food that nice, and it was a hell of a way to spend father's day.

Yeah the station in my city said 109 but my own thermo outside, as well as my car and the instant read all said 118 at the highest.

And tomorrow is supposed to be hotter.

I've been out cycling when shade temp was 49C (Yes, that was extremely dumb of me)... dont ask what the tarmac temp was, it was soft enough that the tyres were digging in. I didnt go far needless to say. Even then, 47C is my "You got to be loving kidding me" point.

I ended up in the other Wetherspoons, kids were ravenous. Coventry was nice, good to see the museum completely open and all the exhibits I missed last year.

Then I developed a sinking tension headache on the drive home from trying not to get killed by idiots in SUVs and had to go straight to bed, that bit wasn't fun.
