too effing hot

"How the fuck can I work now, it's dark!"

"Dude, you're at a computer."

"It's in slumber."

(Do you actually say slumber?It's a literal transl from Dutch.)

i wish they'd turn off my work to conserve some power.

I wish they turn me off.

Err on.

Things to keep in freezer in case of blackout:
lots of bottled water
loaf of bread
fruit (berries, peaches, grapes)
burger patties already made (with desired extras mixed in)
shrimps
Can you freeze soft cheeses? I could freeze some aged gouda, for sure.

Things to keep on shelf:
canned artichoke hearts
canned roasted red peppers
Clif bars
Ramen? maybe

What am I forgetting? I want eat well, dammit.

so wait i'm sorry if we've discussed this, but does this mean the summer's going to be this awful? i don't know if i'll make it

starting tomorrow it should ba back in the 80s. but i have no idea what being this hot this early says about the rest of the summer!

i kept reading that as 'boiled' water, aren't i a goof.

i'm concerned.

if this means july and august are going to be 110-115 degrees i'm gonna...i don't know! be really sweaty all the time and complain a lot.

nothing. though it is going to be an above-average summer, heat-wise.

Swamp coolers apparently only work well in very dry atmospheres, so if it's going to be retardedly humid, I'm going to have to find another way to keep cool.

makes sense. the only place ive ever heard of anyone using a swamp cooler is in salt lake city. they were complaining about how useless it was though.

We had a swamp cooler in Montana. The air was bone dry there, but the cooler was useless.

fwiw I could probably walk to Laguardia.

yeah when i lived in astoria i was a less than 5 minute car ride to laguardia.

i once called a car to laguardia and got there in like 14 minutes. that included waiting for the car to get to my house. i was kind of shocked. cabs to my house from lga are like $17 and about 10-15 min, so i try to fly in and out of there as much as possible.

My gadgety girlfriend and I are planning to install an IR transmitter on a computer in my house so we can turn on the AC remotely. ^_^

106 degrees in NYC in early June, wow guys

96. 106 was the heat index.

lol it struggled to get above 50F today here. Still dark and cloudy.

Coldest spring for the PacNW in a century

Please come and spend all your money here in not-hotness thx bai! ^_^

down to 76º now!

soooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

Let us not deal in estimations of subjective temps. Doing so only obfuscates the truth, which is: it is too. effing. hot.

That said, it's 67F in Chicago. And that's OK.

Though I am preparing to sleep in the sweet breeze of the freezing A/C.

yeah i am feeling guilty that it's 76 and i still have a/c on but hey, it will be 90 by the time i wake up so probably worth keeping it on, eh?

Where the fuck did this come from? There was an emergency-level need to install the window-shakers when I got home today.

kee rist. 96 in boston today.

it should not be 87° at two in the morning wtff

or 82 at dawn

a nasty one.

WHERE IS THE RAIN?

spent the weekend exerting myself to threshold capacity in 110F insanity... suckkkkked.

over here on the other side, we've had pretty much the worst may/june weather on record, tho that seems to have righted itself in the past week

lovely rain yesterday here in the warmth, whilst i sat under a pub umbrella reading my book. very relaxing.

that sounds pretty dope tbh, it was kind of just on the threshold of warm and muggy here today

Goddamn, I thought I had it bad with 80 at 5:30 a.m. Seriously, this shit has got to go.

apparently no rain in sight for the next week in NY

You NYers have my sincere sympathies. That completely blows. :(

i am an idiot. i ran six miles outside this morning (88F /31C ) and gave myself heat exhaustion. now the whole damn day is shot, and my temp is still 101. :(

I feel like I've been through worse than it is right now? But maybe I'm thinking of the compiled effect of my years without any AC. I was a latecomer to the world of "SHUT THE DOOR, YOU'RE LETTING THE COLD OUT."

It actually feels cool outside today. its only 89.

It's a crisp 50 degrees F in Newfoundland today, with a wind chill of 46. On June 29.

gah that sounds awesome
