Bottom post of the previous page:

The point isn't 32C/90F, it's the fact that it's in England.
sure, bring up the hotness of your own countries, but you're born and raised for it.
in England, we are not born and raised for these temperatures.

Wait seriously? 32 C is super bad over there? In ontario we regularly get 32 c in the summer. It sucks, but no one dies from it or anything

England is inhabited by vampires who are used to perpetual overcast with the occasional shower

same here in the Netherlands, we are not used to this kind of heat

Yeah but he's not used to it is what he's saying. It's like when it rains in Southern California, everyone just forgets how to drive suddenly.

She, and yeah, you're right, we don't have the genes or upbringing to deal with such heat.
I mentioned it earlier but I'll repeat it again, the issue isn't that it's 32C/90F, it's that it's 32C/90F IN ENGLAND, a country who gets frequent, cool rain, and as such have grown accustomed to that over years and years.
This is why summer is objectively the worst season.

I'm in the Midwest US, so we get the fucking worst of both worlds here. It's been unseasonably cool here this week, with a shitload of rain and suddenly violent storms, but I'm willing to bet it'll be 80+ in the shade in a couple weeks. Then in the winter we'll get consistent 10 degrees or below days for weeks. It gets too cold to snow sometimes.

Midwest is so great. < That's a lie. It's been raining all week but still in the upper 80sF for me. At least yesterday and today the high is only around 79F.

It's 104f(40C) today in Las Vegas

It got up to 113f(45C) yesterday and stayed over 110 until after dark.

We also had more humidity than normal yesterday too. Probably dind't get above 50%, but still enough to feel it. To Really FEEL the heat and restrict breathing some. Honestly, the "Dry Heat" excuse in my experience only holds water up until about 105/40. After that point, it becomes an unrelenting, oppressive force that crushes all hope.

Vegas is where I landed at 10~AM yesterday.

It's a far cry from the 70 degree rain I was dealing with in New York.

At least here in the Mojave it's only 95 right now.

snow needs around 0 degrees Celsius to form.
if you don't have any wind activity up high and it's way below 0 Celsius than snow won't form and already formed snow will not come from other places, equalling no snow.

That academic law librarian position I had a phone interview for is finally checking up on my references!

The bad news: I had to ask my supervisor if he could give me a reference (at the request of the search committee), so now somebody knows that I'm looking for a job elsewhere.

I feel so tired lately

not in a didn't-get-enough-sleep kind of way, I just feel like I have no energy for anything

yesterday I just laid down on my bed for an hour or so in the middle of the day just because I was not in the mood to do anything, and the only reason why I could force myself to get out is because I had to finish reading a paper about template attacks

I am working 40 hour weeks in what is probably the most ghetto lab of all time, all our equipment is second hand and I fear the centrifuge is gonna blow up one of these days. Also no one is getting paid yet because we are a startup and have no money, so I work my shitty old job on weekends. I mean I love the work we are doing but goddam I am tired

not a bad increase

It is when you consider the amount of debt I have and that I could be making just as much without ANY of my degrees if I was working at the bacon factory again.
