for some reason i had a hankering to listen to weird al's "dare to be stupid."
i could never tell what if any particular song it was supposed to be parodying.
had never seen the video, but it makes it clear what al is lampooning is outfits like devo, the talking heads, peter gabriel, and other psychedlic pop and arthouse punk groups. the visuals are near perfect replicas of so many videos of the early mtv era.
anyway, youtube suggested i watch "all about the pentiums" next... while i thought it was corny when it came out, well poo poo, i think 18 years in the future i like it unironically.
weird al has a knack for somehow capturing the essence of particular aspects of the time he's operating in.

yeah its one of those things where you think "oh, yeah. that was kind of good when i heard it the first 100 times" but then yeah its still really good. hes just that good. idk if i like his parodies or his polkas more.

cold = bad.

i went on a business trip with a buddy to chicago in february once.
we were both alcoholics and he was a smoker, so as soon as we got settled at the hotel in the northern suburbs we're like "okay i can see a 7-11 caddycorner to us, let's go.
bundled all up with a scarf and a hood and gloves and everything we embark.
we made it across the street once and the waterfall feature that the apartment complex had there had frozen mid waterfall in crazy icicle formations, and every single breath hurt to take.
i was like "gently caress it. i'll pay room service $30 for a bottle of wine. i'll have the concierge do it on my card. i'm going back."
and he was like "gently caress you! they don't have cigarettes and if i'm doing this then you are too. besides you'll hateself for getting 1/3 the liquor for 3x the price."
it was awful.

the way mammals work it's actually much easier to freeze to death in the range of (iirc) 10-30F due to the presence of moisture in the air available to efficiently leech the heat right outta you

below that exposure isn't as directly effective as the temp would suggest since it freezes the air dry. new orleans in the winter hits this dangerous envelope and has to have special alerts so that the shelters can exceed fire code occupancy to try and keep people alive

that said lol chicago is cold enough to freeze somewhere around 6 homeless people to death a week. that's as much as all of california typically sees a year

i think it's neat that humans can easily withstand temperatures 50 degrees (C) below their body temperature, but only 10 degrees above is extremely uncomfortable, and 20 is potentially fatal

acceleration directions are like that too

we can take something like 3-4g directed downward fairly comfortably like on a roller coaster loop but pointing upward 0.2-0.3g like going over a short hill in a car immediately makes you feel sick

+/- 20c though

well, being naked in 10c weather is not particularly fun but it's not going to kill you

50c otoh is absolutely not a fun time under any circumstances
