I do, last year we got hotter way earlier, this year we had a lot of rain that I already miss, I actually really like rainy and cloudy days and skies, they calm me more than bright days mainly because in bright sunlight I can't see as well for some reason, my eyes are very light sensitive

It's so nice to live in a state where high 90s are the worst we get.

It hit the 80s this week and my A/C had to run for an entire ten minutes!

i suspect Elon Musk's climate prize is about to go from $100 million to $1 billion and then $10 billion and then CEO of SpaceX or something like that soon lol.

Save up your money bois and girls, we gonna be quitting our jobs to join the greatest race in history soon! For a good cause too, winner saves humanity and you get rewarded! :O probably it'll just be the cooperation on the level of covid but scaled to a million X or a billion X or even a trillion X as we add more people/brains/computers to the systems we've built and started using.v loooooooots of efficiency gains incoming due to technology. really exciting to watch.

i'm generally not worried about climate change and neither should anyone here be. we will figure it out with tech before it gets truly bad, because we have our lifetime to get it done and then some. and people are working on it and solving it already and we're going to pour so much collective money and willpower into solving it that we'll have carbon sequestred at scale even if it means we need to start paying people $50,000 a year guaranteed to crank carbon-sequestration shafts for 40 hours a week like at a gym while taking breaks to play some games and read and shit like public school basically, to get everyone into elite fitness at a cool fitness-type gaming type of job, to sequester carbon.

Bro we better get those jobs asap.

Get everyone doing that for a few years at a time, then year-long break. Or whenever you want based on how much money you save. Make the pay generous enough since you can only listen to music or podcasts tbh, while you're basically running the bikes that sequester the carbon.

We can ask the older generation to just pay for it with debt and we'll pay for it later. They just basically need to set that shit up that way.

If i had 1 weather wish, it would be that every single day is 40 degrees and cloudy.

Thats perfect weather to me.

just give everyone like $500,000 at birth and let them access it at 18 as a UBI while they get a quality education somewhere. with reasonable healthcare prices forced by ruthless gov investment into the elite private sector orgs that truly revolutionize med-tech.

and allow people to just travel and shit until they find a cool fuckin project that needs doing. and let them solve that goddam project with their UBI. and if they wanna join a cool company to earn more money so they can retire in a more luxurious lifestyle then so be it. but that will guarantee that every American will have guaranteed wealth/luxury to travel and enjoy life and then come and be an amazing brain for America.

(and pssssst, if they're not American but in America? fine, great, as long as someone intends to pay their taxes and get a solid education to be like STEM or to work like a gov job that we need that isn't filled or to be like H1b brain-dran strategy from countries abroad? or like the best craftspeople on the planet? or like literally the best of any skill? fuck yeah come here, we love that shit. bring money too and buy shit and set up cool shops and we'll invest and build shopping malls and shit.

and weed's legal in most of the states.

the humidity is really awful here in dfw, 95 with a heat index of 106 sounds about right, can't imagine it's any better in austin or god forbid houston

Yes you are, climate change has the potential to basically end life on earth. Regardless of your optimism on the matter, our continued existence is in question. That's worth worrying about if anything is.

I work at DFW airport and it definitely felt over 100. It was about 98 today but with humidity it was around 107. Absolutely boiling, good thing I don't have to go outside too much for most of the day unlike the ramp workers because I feel for them right now.

---

note to self: stay the hell away from Texas...

It's 116 tomorrow here in Phoenix lol

---

It's been that everyday the past few weeks in Tucson.

---

37c = fuck that shit Im out.

---

If anyone has to be outside I highly recommend a cooling towel, I used one for the first time today since I was standing on a concrete pad for 3 hours in 102 degree heat and I didnt even sweat at all which is great since my makeup didnt get fucked up. I have the Frogg Togg chill pad, but Im sure they all work the same.

---

don't mess with texas

---

It's the time of the year when I have to restructure my whole damn schedule around taking the dog for her walk before it gets too hot lmao.
