  1. Shit I just signed into my linkedin account for the first time in like 5 years because my professor asked me to join her network.
  2. We would regularly experience brutal temperatures on the aircraft carrier while on deployment. On top of the fact that we'd be doing circles in the Persian Gulf in the summer, the engine room had no air conditioning. Instead, it had ventilation ducts that would draw in outside air. If the outside air happened to be 110 degrees, then that's the minimum temperature in the engine room. Add in all of the steam power equipment, it was usually much hotter. At our feed pumps (steam driven), I regularly saw temps in excess of 130 degrees. You could drink a few gallons of water while on a 4 hour watch and not have to go to the bathroom once.
  3. Overnight temps will only remain higher if the ground absorbs the heat during hot days - so if you have a number of very hot days in a row, the overnight low temp will likely be higher as the ground radiates the heat it captured during the day. The PNW would have to have many, many hot days in a row to drive up the overnight lows to uncomfortable levels. Our overnight lows in the Vegas area are usually in the high 70s to low 80s during the heat of the summer, with the highs being 105 to 110.
  4. He THINKS he is asking questions during oral arguments, but in reality he is literally just thinking he is asking questions, because he is high AF.
  5. Update: My daughter tested negative, but my wife is still positive. My daughter also lost her second molar last night, so she's a happy camper right now.
  6. Right? Here in Vegas it was like 107 and I was enjoying the relative coolness of it while working in my garage on my car yesterday.
  7. The only speech worth protecting is the speech that everyone agrees with. Canada to Make Online Hate Speech a Crime Punishable by $16,000 Fine GIZMODO.COM The proposed law would likely run afoul of the First Amendment in the U.S., but despite popular misconceptions Canada is actually its own country.
  8. They were metric doses though - 1.6 Canadian doses is equivalent to 1 Freedom dose.
  9. I do wonder if my wife got the delta variant. Seeing as how she got the J&J vaccine back in April, she is theoretically protected, but the trial data showed that you still had a chance to contract the virus, albeit with a very low probability of hospitalization or worse. She has some underlying health issues, but all things considered, she's faring well. Our daughter is back to 100%, and I'll get her tested today. I have never had any symptoms, so my Moderna vaccine was probably highly effective.
  10. The thing about trees that provide shade to a house is that if they are too close to the house, they can do massive damage to the foundation/basement walls of the house. At our last house in Oregon, we had to cut down an elm tree that was ~8 feet from the side of the house, because the roots were forcing the basement wall to heave in. If we continued to let it grow, it would have cause further structural damage. So you may think your landlord was being a dick for cutting down a tree, but in reality they were probably just protecting their house from structural damage.
  11. With the Fahrenheit temperature system, I always imagined that Mr. Fahrenheit based his scale what what he felt/knew the minimum and maximum temperatures experienced in London. So the coldest of cold days would be considered 0 degrees, and the hottest of hot days would be 100. I'm pretty sure he was just throwing shit at the wall, but I like to justify the scale somehow. Also I'm pretty sure he wasn't even English.
  12. I will say that this is a step in the right direction - previously the government wouldn't even confirm or deny there have been sightings.
  13. ...But doesn't know where the hell they come from. US intelligence community releases long-awaited UFO report WWW.CNN.COM The US intelligence community on Friday released its long-awaited report on what it knows about a series of mysterious flying objects that have been seen moving through restricted military airspace over the last several decades.
  14. Republicans aren't thinking strategically here. If they were smart, they would fully support the infrastructure bill, but let the Dems pass the reconciliation bill along party lines, so that way the GOP can campaign against the reconciliation bill in 2022.
  15. Double negative. So there IS going to be a bipartisan bill.
  16. A few years ago I stayed at a AirBnB in a high rise in San Diego, right on the beach. I'm noping out of staying in one again, for sure. It even had a basement garage under the building.
  17. Horrible. I know that a building is not infrastructure per se, but I hope this incident spurs Congress into passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill. If an apartment building can collapse like this, so can our worn out bridges and other pieces of infrastructure.
  18. Why the fuck do all these Q followers say they have info on all of these evil baby eating politicians, but never bother to release it?
