I'm not sure what your time training for the chair force has to do with this beyond some kind of Dunning-Kruger thing. quote:Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (130 °F). The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F).[3]

What the gently caress are you talking about? It sounds like you all heard a phrase in a TV show and now think that "wet bulb globe temperature" always means dangerously high temperatures.

ShowTime posted:The Tetris movie is available now, anyone watched it yet? Suppose to be pretty dang good. Taron Egerton can basically do no wrong in my eyes. I've loved everything he's done since The Kingsman. Just finished watching it. Thought it was fantastic. And I never knew Tetris’ origins, the music makes so much sense now.

This essentially marks a limit to human adaptability to extreme heat – if we cannot escape the conditions, our body’s core can rise beyond the survivable range and organs can start failing.

Wet bulb temperature is just a way of measuring the temperature and humidity together. That's like saying the Richter scale is scary because a 9.0 earthquake will kill you.

The problem is that there isn’t a great name for the specific wet bulb temperature at which the body can no longer cool itself. So people have been referring to it as “wet bulb conditions” and “the wet bulb temperature”. We should spend time workshopping a good name for it instead of going around in circles.

Another Wet Bulb 34 episode of Extrapolations, I enjoyed it. Generational character Ezra forgets a whale, and gains a family. Also, Cloud storage sucks.

I enjoyed the back half of that episode more than the front. Overall, I'd rank it as 5th best episode of Extrapolations so far. The string of episodes from #2 to 5 were just great. More people should watch this show.

It sounds like maybe it ended alright, but I didn’t care for the episode; it wasn’t really connected to the climate change theme like the other stories and I didn’t like the character. I stopped watching when he decided to charge the lady for sex. I get that he was desperate but that’s very low. Also the whole idea where the little girl has been lied to by everyone to the point that she’s calling him “daddy” is hosed up. Also the whole story. I guess that’s the point but it made me lose interest in the show altogether.

I also enjoyed the Tetris movie and the girlfriend pointed out that same fact which blew my mind. Also while I'm pretty sure they played fast and loose with the truth of the story in that movie, the couple clips of real life Henk's trip to Moscow make me pretty convinced that the real Henk really was that insanely reckless.Steve Yun posted:I keep saying it would be perfect for Sorkin to write Social Network 2 Supposedly the guy who did the Theranos and Scientology documentaries for HBO is doing an Elon Musk one now, so that will probably be an insanely well researched takedown of the insufferable prick.

Watched the latest Extrapolations, maybe the bleakest yet. It oddly reminded me of Stephen Baxter's Titan with the young Artist who crafts their art out of bodily waste and the back to the wild movement. Hopefully they nail the finale.

The new extrapolations was great. Guess the geoengineering from a few episodes ago only made things worse. I hope this show has a bleak ending. More people need to be upset about global warming.

Is anyone watching s2 of Schmigadoon? This season has gone to a grittier Schmicago. There are influences from Hair, Chicago, Sweeny Todd and more If you love anything musical theatre related you’ll love this self-aware pastiche. https://youtu.be/wece6G6oIjc

I'm enjoying this season more than the first one, though the Hippie subplot seems to be some specific musical reference that I just don't know.Hawkperson posted:I am, and I loving love it.

I generally don't like musicals, so I like the show because it makes fun of musicals. I think this season is just a musical era I dislike more, and they seem to have ramped up the number of songs per episode. The show is still good though

The Bells and Whistles number was amazing, Krakowski is a Tony winner and it shows. The hippie subplot is Hair/Sweet Charity/Grease/Jesus Christ Superstar as far as I can tell.

I do think the second season is really heavy on pastiche, though, and I don’t know if I prefer that from the more original songs from season one. Like, here’s Bells and Whistles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wece6G6oIjc And it’s a great performance but all the beats are pretty recognizable. You got a little Chicago, a little Chorus Line, a little Company. It’s good, sure, but then you have Kaputt from the first or second episode, and it’s … good but it’s also Cabaret with different words.

Extrapolations has been insanely good. Top three new shows of the year, IMO. I also really enjoyed the Hello, Tomorrow! finale (I thought the penultimate episode was a bit bum) and hope it gets renewed. Smart move to change the show's location for next season and I hope the show can lean into something a bit meaner with its new set-ups, but I still really enjoyed the very odd, very silly show.

The characters seem to be the same way; I might be misremembering but I feel like most of the musical characters last season were more little pieces of several characters from several musicals, whereas this time it's like oh hey that's literally Sweeney Todd with Mrs. Lovett's job. My favorite song so far this season has been the Chicago "does this SHOCK you?" mostly because of Cecily Strong and Keegan Michael Key's expressions.

Open Source Idiom posted:Extrapolations has been insanely good. Top three new shows of the year, IMO. Some of the episode seem to miss a little, but as an anthology I think it works well. I love how well they do the mixture of a decaying, dying planet mixed with new, advanced technology. A city block, covered in trash and thick smog, but all the windows are touch screen, cell phones are integrated directly into your brain, allowing for augmented reality, drones deliver everything, etc. It's practical, but fiction. 50 years ago, homes barely had color television. In 50 years, of course we'll have technology integrated directly into us. Also, holy heck did they get some stars. Every episode basically has 3-10 AAA level actors. A lot of them are doing it because of the topic, but the budget for this show still must be off the charts. I don't think it's gonna win any kind of awards, but it's still a good show. Like a 7/10 for me.

I couldn’t make it through first episode of Extrapolations. The very first scene of the show has a holo-protestor (lol) talking about the 2015 Paris Accords like the climate change Rubicon moment, invoking Greta Thunberg, etc. You couldn’t convince me that anyone today cares about those subjects, let alone people in a near-future climate-ravaged hellscape. I toughed it out for a bit, hoping I’d catch some sick cli-fi visuals, but all I got was direct-to-video SyFy-level production value smog filters and lovely acting/writing. And it was boring. No thanks, not for me.

You could kind of skip around Extrapolations and it not affect your understanding of the show. It's an anthology show, and while there is a little bit of connectivity, it's loose. There is a major event in the middle of the series and I swear it hasn't even affected things. I just finished Episode 7 and it was lovely and basically completely standalone. One of my favorite episodes and I loved the twist at the end.

Extrapolations a’ight. The latest episode was really good, and I liked the Daveed Diggs ones and the Ed Norton one. The dude-for-hire one was fine. Whale one was bad and I really don’t get what people itt saw in episode 5.

The first episode was one of the worst ones IMO but several episodes have been outright great. I really enjoyed the smuggler guy in India. This last one was pretty meh. I wouldn't skip the whole thing based on one episode since they are only loosely connected and vary widely in quality.
