How the fuck are you two still alive eating like that?  I just assumed that type of diet will kill me off pretty early. 
 

or you have had enough and are helping the clot along while enjoying delicious food. 

Splurging once or twice a week don’t make a shit to me. 
We eat a lot of salads in between.

edited to add…. We get two meals out of all that with the leftovers.

All of it is extremely depressing to me. I used to have this naive belief that in the face of a real, global crisis, humanity would come together and solve the problem. That grown ups would take charg

Bingo. It's an artifact of youth. You don't care if it's 100 degrees when you're 12 years old and your only concern for 3 straight months is where you are swimming that day and which friend you're spe

Most people there have swamp cooler AC. Not nearly as big an energy draw. Doesn’t work for shit when it’s hot and humid though - they had a stretch of that a couple of years ago, and it was brutal (we have family in Tucson).

No they don't. Lived in PHX for nearly 20 years and almost no one has a swamp cooler anymore. The only people that have swamp coolers live in super old houses and/or are poor. Even my first house in PHX, which was old by AZ standards, built in 1955 didn't have a swamp cooler.

Almost midnight, and going outside is like getting hit in the face by a hot wet fart. NWS current conditions shows heat index is 98 F.

 

 

 

Just finished drinking a beer and watering my garden. This ain't Afghanistan and you are not wearing armor. Go get some water, get a cold beer and get used to it. Sit in the hammock and listen to the cicadas. 

And forecasts say for Central Texas it is only going to get worse over the next few.

What's it called when external factors influence the price of something like foodstuffs?  Like say extreme heat, mixed with draught, in some crop growing regions or animal grazing lands drive up costs for farmers/ranchers, and they in turn pass those cost increases to us in the form of higher wholesale/retail prices?  Isn't there a word for that?  Starts with an "i", if I recall correctly.  It's something totally bad.

We had a swamp cooler in our first house in 1993 on S 1st right across from TX School for the Deaf. It was marginally effective in cooling us down but very persuasive in making my visiting in laws book a cool hotel rather than crashing with us. A net win.

I grew up with a swamp cooler in West Texas until around high school. It's obviously a drier climate than Austin, but we'd still have hot humid summer days sometimes. I vividly recall the walls feeling a little sticky when it was like that. One of my chores sometimes would be to climb on the roof of the house with a garden hose and water the damn thing.

Didn’t check the app earlier when I was driving but had to take some family to South Texas and when I was driving through Alice there was one of those bank signs that said it was 109. How accurate are those things because god damn it was brutal. Ready to be back in LA Saturday

If they are near pavement, they aren't very accurate.

We hit 100 degrees for the 20th time this year.  Yay!
