What’s on your mind?

Agreed. temperature wise, 20-30C is the sweet spot for me. I can handle up to 33-34C relatively well, but do feel uncomfortable when it goes over that.

In Georgia (Caucasus Georgia), one summer it was 42-44C for around two months, which was torture - it was too hot to sleep comfortably at night, and I loathe air conditioning, though I have since had to learn to live with it, when I work in countries with hot climates.

I’ll take AC when it’s needed if it’s available.
Try camping in August in Italy. That was so uncomfortable at night.

What's on my mind this afternoon is yesterday. Specifically, cadging a ride with the guy who usually mows my lawn and who was heading into town for some shopping. I just wanted to hit up the ATM and do a little grocery shopping. Upon exiting his vehicle in my driveway I thought to hand him the money for the next mowing plus a little for his trouble, saying casually, "So you'll take this now and then just mow whenever you get a chance during the week, eh? Thanks for the ride into town." Then today I awoke to this forecast of weather:


Well anyway looks like maybe the season of furnace-heat is finally over for the 2018-19 winter. :rolleyes:

Those numbers all look foreign to me!

:D yah.. lost in translation... here are the Celsius equivalents

Still, rain is rain and t'storms are anti-lawn-mowing monsters... and I'm hoping ol' Joe can remember he's been paid for that next mowing when he ever does get to it now.

As an undergrad, to save myself time, stress, and hassle when confronted by different measurements of temperature, I simply learnt off the two tables (Celsius and Fahrenheit), and can convert from one to the other pretty effortlessly.

The highest we'll see is 86 for the next 10 days. Which is really nice considering last summer it was heatwave after heatwave.
 
That doesn't sound good at all. I remember the last time Europe suffered heatwave after heatwave.
 
Twerking. Yep, twerking. As a male who really appreciates the female body, I have no idea how could someone find twerking remotely attractive, interesting, or even amusing. To me it's one of the un-sexiest, unattractive moves I could think of, it almost bothers (and bores) me.
 
At the Houston Aquarium feeling sorry for the fish parked in the corner of their tanks, the snakes and lizards lethargically laying under heat lamps, and especially the White Tiger daydreaming about eating a visitor. I must be getting old! :p

My guess is that twerking was created as a means to make dabbing look better by comparison. Though I'm not sure of the chronology of these important cultural developments, so it's entirely possible that twerking preceded dabbing.

On the list of things I'm not sure of, that's right below, "he's sustained a brain injury and thinks he's a helicopter." It's not an alphabetized list.

The English go running down a steep hill after a wheel of cheese. That bloke looking like he's on acid isn't the only weird one.

It’s… it’s okay that he’s leaving. They’ll still be his primary client. We can still be friends—well, we can become and then remain friends. Yeah, yeah, it’ll be okay.

:(
 
Oh, I don't know. There are people who I would smother with a half kilo block of Bulgarian feta. Salty and very dry. Perfect for dampening their cries for help.

To me that that just looks like someone enjoying the black fly season. There are 2200 species of those little sunzagunz, and unfortunately only 15 are extinct, so far. Maybe twerking will settle the hash of a few more.

As for the cheese wheels... er, the honchos at Apple, I'd love to know whether the change in Jony's precise employment status was Jony's or Tim's or Phil's idea...or Marketing's idea.

I can imagine a conversation launching off something like "but you don't even get out there and defend me when 7,247 people upvote a post that says the XR is too heavy or the SE is too small.. why should I keep cranking out great gear for you?"

Where on earth did Jony get LoveFrom as the name of his new enterprise? Somebody bought the enterrise and matching domain name for him as parting gifts? :D
