The heat dome arrived but at the same time we've received 2 inches of rain over 3 days. So overall it's been really nice. Just a bit muggy.

How many people are huffing burnt plastic that they know, let alone remember what it smells like? I've been unfortunate enough to accidentally breathe burnt plastic once but I can't for the life of me remember what it smells like since it burnt the nostrils like hell and all I remember is the headache I immediately got from it.

generally the strategy for dealing with large wildfires is to attempt to maintain a perimeter, protect people and property and let the fire burn itself out. the maintain a perimeter part isn't always successful. the wildfires in Canada may continue to burn until october depending on the rain.

Another fun factoid I just learned about the 2016 Fort Mac fire(s) a.k.a. "The Beast": Aspens and cottonwoods are wet trees (even more than yer Mum). Normally a forest fire will hit a stand of them and stop dead, there's no burning wet toilet paper. However, when you have something like The Beast going through the neighbourhood pushing a 500oF wall of heat in front of the flames the tree juice immediately flashes into steam and, like the plastic houses, the tree explodes as the fire sweeps over it and keeps going. Just when I was learning to love cottonwoods. Try to wet down the area in front of the fire and the same thing happens to the firehose output if you're too close - instant steam. Sucks about your lungs but at least one of the main supplies of feedstock for 3M's masks is an employee-owned paper mill in Nanaimo.  Their number can go up while people indirectly support a socialist business. Assuming their feedstock doesn't go up in smoke too, of course.

Mine was from using a butane soldering iron on loan before I got a real soldering station. Carelessly let the exhaust heat up a plastic pickguard to a boil while soldering electronics hunched over the drat thing only inches away. I guess if I had to describe the smell, it was a terrible sting in the nostrils and the immediate headache. If that air smells like that then lol lmao

Lol in high school shop class I intentionally left a hot electrical soldering iron laying on top of its cord. Knocked out the power to the room it was pretty cool. Heavy burning plastic smell from that

Diamonds On MY Fish posted:Did you put it on the guitar afterwards? That could look p cool Yup, but it was on the inside so you could only see a bump on the outside (un?)fortunately. Inside was very gnarly looking. The guitar was very DIY scuffed otherwise so it it would have fit very well if I just hosed the whole pickguard up anyway. I did the rainbow burning effect on a metal pickup cover with a torch and scuffed it up with a file. Turned out... alright but not as fancy as the Bareknuckle Pickups I was trying to emulate.

Imo they should just do like that town in Florida and let the beach erode away so much that all the sand is above the mean high tide line and officially private property Also gently caress weather it’s only just after 8am and already pushing 70, that’s too hot

I took some non-American friends to their first American beach this year. "You have to pay? For the beach? What?" "It closes? What? How? How does a beach close lmao no I don't think that's right" "What do you mean hide the cigarette smoke? What do you mean you can't smoke here we're literally outdoors hahaha what are you saying to me right now" They're so loving right it hurts

My rear end was all: "well the uh... aha... there's some beaches in rockaway that are free so yeah do um yeah so sometimes... I mean you could go to that one too it's not further or anything... hah" In June it's still frigid. We jumped in to say we did. Lasted less than 10 minutes probably before heading out, just too cold!

We jumped in anyway…” being a condition that exists for maybe ten minutes a year in the tail end of august and even then the water wants to kill you This is California but could probably be posted up here too, lol
