Heat Dome - June 2024

[Ben]

Oh, my point was on that balloon. It's way over your head

Well my point was on your face. It's dumb.

 

[Jon]

 

[Mark]

You prefer 105?

Most people would prefer not having swamp ass.

 

[Ben]

Most people would prefer not having swamp ass.

Jon probably calls it "Ass Everglades"

Those Floridian Fucks are probably immune to such conditions. They’ve adapted. Evolved.

Well we do typically assume Jon is a furry werewolf lover, and dogs don't sweat, so... Makes sense.

I don't know what Vash's solution is. Probably the absorptive properties of cookie crumbs.

 

[Ben]

 

[Jon]

Listen, I'm subject to heat like the rest of you.

All I was saying is it's not every day Florida is 95 while most of the rest of the country is 105.

 

[A Punched Face]

Swamps for thee, swamp ass for we.

 

[Jon]

That said, I avoid the everglades. Fuck that place. It's Australia in Florida in terms of things that can kill you.

 

[dimmerwit]

At least in southern Florida you get mild winters.

 

[Ben]

Fair enough. It is odd when your dumpster-fire of a state isn't as hot as everywhere else.

 

[Jon]

Yes, I agree we are a dumpster-fire.

In my defense, i didn't move here for the politics.

 

[Ben]

In my defense, i didn't move here for the politics.

Yeah, I feel that. I didn't move to South Carolina for the inclusive thoughtful demographic either.

Tangent; I wonder how long you can go without posting to hold on to this 6969.

Dude’s a Masshole that moved to Florida. Who does that? Who willingly wants to fry like that?

Listen, I'm subject to heat like the rest of you.

All I was saying is it's not every day Florida is 95 while most of the rest of the country is 105.

Nah. I like my version better. You’ve evolved. Or mutated. Like Swamp Thing.

At least in southern Florida you get mild winters.

That’s called a “consolation prize”, dude.

Yes, I agree we are a dumpster-fire.

Translation: He moved there for the moisture.

 

[Ben]

the moisture.

Is that her stage name?

a nice 95 here

I have absolutely no idea how to comprehend this sentence. Nice in the same sentence as 95? Everything I've ever known that was 95 sucks. The temperature. The highway. The old people.

You have good heat tolerance. Were you born down there?

 

[Jon]

You have good heat tolerance. Were you born down there?

Nah. I have a pool.

Again, I say "nice" 95 in relation to the 105+ other areas are dealing with. I keep my fat out of shape ass inside the AC.

In 95, Sony released the original Playstation. It's also the year Chrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island, Secret of Evermore, and Twisted Metal were released, as well as the first Heroes of Might and Magic game (though that's only notable because it started the series...II and III were the fantastic games).

So I found some good ways to describe 95 as nice.

Windows 95 was good too. Always a silver lining

We were already having a shitty time talking about the weather and you had to go and bring up I-95?

Dick.

North of Boston isn't so bad. Everything south of Boston is very bad though.

 

[Mark]

I haven’t been past New Haven, Connecticut on it, thankfully. Do y’all use that state as a barrier to keep us out? Because it worked.

Exactly the case. CT is the buffer zone.

I see your I-95 and raise you I-4.

 

[dimmerwit]

I drove through CT once. It rained as I entered the state and stopped right as I left.

I remember at one point seeing a sign for Swansea and thinking "why the fuck did I bother crossing the Atlantic?"

 

[A Punched Face]

Also best new England is northern New England. Well not new Hampshire. Just Vermont and parts of Maine. Extended Vermont (the Berkshires and such) counts too.

 

[dimmerwit]

Also Singapore's expressways all have three-letter identifiers. One is called AYE and another PIE.

I always found that far more hilarious than it deserves.

 

[Mark]

Exactly the case. CT is the buffer zone.

Dude, easily the absolute worst drivers I have ever encountered reside in that state.

I see your I-95 and raise you I-4.

I’ve heard about that one from a few people I know down there.

It was pouring my first time through, which is probably what set my rage off towards those drivers.

 

[dimmerwit]

I'm feeling bad just imagining a teenage you navigating a South Carolina summer.

No wonder you stayed up so late online - you were escaping the heat!

The drivers being from Connecticut is probably what set your rage off towards them

Only thing I can really say is that I-95 once you cross into Maine is an endless corridor of trees with absolutely nothing to look at.

I traded a 4 hour round-trip drive to get my son down I-95 for a 4 hour round-trip along I-90, and I'm always so much fucking happier going through the Berkshires than that tunnel of snore.

I-95 North of Bangor Maine is a no-mans-land where they just jack the speed limit WAY up. I think it was 85 last I went through. There's basically nothing until you get to Houlton at the border, so they don't give a shit if you fly off a cliff.

To be fair, I was an insomniac teenager in England. I didn't move to the US until 17, and my nocturnalness just continued because Isis worked the night shift at the hospital, but yeah, I guess I was ultimately hiding from the sun.

the Berkshires

I like the berkshires

 

[A Punched Face]

I like the berkshires

It's a lovely place.

 

[shortkut]

I go every summer at least once

 

[Ben]

I drive past somewhere called "The Tanglewood", and that's just tight AF.

 

[Ben]

Still nothing on them sending a tech out to fix anything, nor on giving us anything to help in the interim.

We just grabbed a stand-alone unit that the wife saw discounted at ALDI, because fuck being uncomfortable because of someone else's apathy.



Not ideal because there's literally only 1 window on my ground floor, tucked in the bathroom, but it's working well enough to vent heat outside with a few box fans to move the cool air flow into the main areas. I'm just keeping the blinds on the screen doors closed to keep the sun out on the other side of the house.

It's sitting around 72° inside again, so at least the kids aren't complaining anymore.

 

[MC74]

38C with humdity today, and we're expected to have these temperatures up until next week.

Fuck summer.

 

[Ben]

They JUST sent someone to fix my A/C yesterday. Conveniently after I went in to the office to ask what the fuck they were playing at.

So I'm thankfully sitting at 70°F inside again.



Outdoor sensor is in the shade. In the sun, it's frigging horrible and the air feels thick.

Damn near all of North America is hot as fuck. We gon die.

Definitely not cooking this week.

Trying to continue my franchise playthrough on NHL 24 with the 1999/2000 Dallas Stars, but it's too damn hot to get comfortable enough to game. -___-

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I stopped getting notifications for this thread after my moist post.

It is definitely moist outside right now. Been raining all day thanks to this Tropical Storm.

 

[Ben]

Tornadoes? In MY vagina?

It's more likely than you think.

You mean the sale, or the corpse..?

Because not the sale, no.

I knew it was going to be about the reservoir as soon as I saw Rochester and corpse together, though. That's where my partners family are, so I definitely heard about the story.

 

[Ben]

Oh and obligatory "the country is on fire" post.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'm closest without going over

 

[MC74]

Thank fuck the rain has cooled things a bit. The sooner Summer is over though, the better.
