So about the same as summer anywhere East of Denver?max225 wrote:I had a fun fucking weekend... it was 108 here, and normally its fine but you can't do work outside.

I went through 1/2 gallon of water... while cleaning the yard/installing a stereo into a Taco.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:33 pm I'm pretty curious to see how 100+ feels without humidity sometime. I think the hottest I've ever felt is maybe 105 and humid.
Also the garage is at 130-140F if you park a hot car in it.

Texas is terrible in the summer for sure. No one does anything until 8pm... and then just goes swimming in a pee temperature pool etc.

It's the same temperature and feeling on the hottest days in Miami as it is in Maine. The difference is only in how many times a year it happens - and whether there is infrastructure to cope with it. Up North it gets just as bad outside and often is worse inside because buildings are not built for 90+ degree days. You get to sweat whether you're inside or out.max225 wrote:I don't know...

Usually have it set to about 74/75, today it might not be able to keep up once we hit 140.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 1:48 pmWhat do you keep your AC @?CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 1:45 pm

That's all I can assume. The thunder and lightning this weekend was straight out of nowhere. I assume you get a good amount of wind coming off Mt. Diablo?

It nearly tore out my palm tree, and the nearby pines shed so much shit across my lawns that it will take a few more hours to clean. My FULL 64 gallon trash can blew over, and scattered trash all across my lawn and my neighbors 200 feet away, and into the streets...CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:32 pmEnd of days.

Also my light topper blew off and landed in the street...
Yes they are not "REAL" problems but it was terrifying up here, I can also see about 5-10 miles in any direction up here and there were 3 fires, thankfully they were extinguished quickly by the fire dep.

was pretty much exactly my experience with my dentist when they reopened in June, temp took, peroxide rinse, etc. Oh, and I had to l out a little form asking about recent cold-like symptoms, instead of just being asked. Only other exception is that the dentist himself did the cleaning instead of the hygienist, to make it only one person i had contact with. I felt pretty safe with him wearing his N95 and a face shield so he couldn't breathe on me. As he said to me, who better than doctors and dentists offices to be completely up to speed on hygiene and PPE, etc.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 10:43 amInteresting...I went 3 weeks ago. Dentist office called me to tell me that my previously scheduled appointment was still on and to come in, but asked that if I had any sort of cold like symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, etc) to reschedule the apt. Got there, everyone was in face shields with masks underneath, they took my temp with an external thermometer on my forehead and was walked directly back to the room not interacting with anyone other than my hygienist and doctor. Hydrogen peroxide rinse to start, then a normal cleaning. All PPE was disposed of after me to minimize risk of spreading. Seemed really safe, but I’m not a doctor.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:47 am
Just last week WHO said to put off non-emergency dental procedures "until more is known." Not sure if anyone will react but I can wait for a cleaning.

A couple decades wife and I were visiting some friends who lived in Berkeley and we experienced a small quake. It was 3.5 iirc. They didn't think anything of it but to us it was My biggest takeaway is how loud it was. It sounded like a train going by.

Gut has been messed up for the last month or so since running a course of antibiotics from my doc. Been hitting my sauerkraut to get some probiotics going and restore my gut health, but something is still off. Adding in more veggies to see if the fiber helps, and Gonna try to do a shot of apple cider vinegar twice a day. If I’m still fucked it next week I’m gonna make a doctors appointment just to make sure there isn’t something else going on.
Had the ACV too close to my breakfast this morning and it made me puke that back up, so that sucked.
