First heat alert system email came through. Amber: Significant impacts are probable across the health and social care sector due to the high temperatures, including: observed increase in mortality across the population likely, particularly in the 65+ age group or those with health conditions, but impacts may also be seen in younger age groups; increased demand for remote health care services likely; internal temperatures in care settings (hospitals and care homes) may exceed recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment; impact on ability of services to be delivered due to heat effects on workforce possible and many indoor environments likely to be overheating, risk to vulnerable people living independently in community as well as in care settings; medicines management issues; staffing issues due to external factors (e.g. transport); cross system demand for temporary AC capacity exceeded possible and other sectors starting to be observe impacts (e.g. travel delays). Yellow: Minor impacts are probable across the health and social care sector, including: increased use of healthcare services by the vulnerable population; increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm. White: Scotland and Wales won't let us look at their thermometers  Assume the whole area is SMALL BOTES

do neither linger nor tarry in the face of ongoing nuclear reactions imo also remember the second part to the hydration puzzle that people neglect which is you gotta piss more often too, extra water won't do you any good if all it's doing is making your back teeth float Failed Imagineer posted:Why is London less affected? Isn't that the opposite of the urban heat island effect? Might be missing something v obvious It's a heat trap but it hasn't been heated up much yet- need some consistent heat to manage that, and this year has been fairly tame so far

Might be missing something v obvious If you look closely, London occupies a smaller area in the map than the other regions so it's getting less total sunlight, reducing its thermal potential

I mean sure there's like, roads, and the tube is pretty nice, and there's like... electricity and heating and internet? But how do those help against heat

Mega Comrade posted:To be honest that's much more interesting than another remainer vs leaver debate. i was going to agree but then i realised that the whole country has been “brexit leaver special” and they’ve still not put forward any concrete ideas, so it’s safe to assume there will never be a conclusion on the brexiteer brexit at this point remainers are more interesting because what are they thinking now labour are now pro hard brexit and what middle road is even possible at this point? undo brexit is obviously what they want but how?

This is why the stiff upper lip was invented. So you can look more like "I have just been informed what a 'massive nonce' is by my advisors, and I can speak plainly and say that I do not approve" rather than looking like you've been caught peering into a school window.

All the Star Trek series from the 90s. All Star Gate series. All MST3K movies. Some Reeves and Mortimer series. And Bottom. Bottom gets watched probably the most, great show.
