Floridan summers are exactly like Maryland summers, but with more alligators. I'd still The Die.

[TheStranger]

We rarely get over 26 C up here, and even that is almost too much for me. Im fairly certain Florida heat would kill me

my best friend is in ohio and they're coming visit me for a week the last week of july

so y'know, the actual hottest part of the year

it's gonna be soooooo hilarious watching them suffer while i'm just like 'yeah it's hot man'



granted they were in the mojave a couple weeks ago where it was 115 but that dry heat and only for a day lmao.

[TheStranger]

I'm pretty sure Hell has dry heat too, I dont think that actually makes it any better

I finally felt the difference humidity makes when I went to Jacksonville for a metal festival. Spent the weekend out in the sun, mid-90s all day, and barely broke a sweat. I was even wearing a bandana over my face. Came back home to technically cooler temperature, but the humidity was choking.

[shazza]

the difference in dry heat vs humidity is you can actually cool off in dry heat by sweating or putting like water on your head. in humid heat, the air is already so wet that it doesn't pull the sweat off of your skin, and if you dump water on you you're just wet. like it's cool only until the water warms up and then it just stays there being annoying lol. i would much rather deal with dry heat than humidity any day.


it works the same way in cold too. humid cold like...seeps through your layers and it's miserable. at least it doesn't ever really get that cold here.

I wish it would stop fucking raining here, I just want to enjoy the summer sun...

Soooooo the bf and I may have just found a 52 inch LCD TV outside by the dumpster.

Obviously, it doesn't quite work, BUT we plugged it in and it seems to turn on and off intermittently. We did a little research and found out that it is actually a common problem on that model so we're thinking maybe we can get it fixed pretty easily? Even if we get someone to repair it for us, it would be much, much cheaper than buying a TV that size.

Of course, that's assuming there's no other problems with it, but I would totally believe someone throwing out a TV that had problems turning on without actually getting it repaired.

[Alkarii]

That's some epic loot, right there, even if you have to get it repaired.

Score one for the good guys! Wait, is that applicable here?

Ha, yea, my mom was going to throw out her old HD projection TV a couple years back because the convergence chip blew, causing the color layers to align incorrectly. Was about a 50 dollar fix, much cheaper than buying a new tv. People are too quick to throw things away.

France pretty much executed Iceland during the match at Euro, I'm gonna wedgie Great Handsome Oppressor for it

[Syobon]

Iceland had an amazing performance, wish I could say the same for Belgium. At least we shined in one game I guess (though even that was pretty sloppy at times).

[LucarioLuvsMinecraft]

Awwwwwwww Diiiill Pickle

I don't even have work tomorrow and I'm still dreading the end of the 3-day weekend. I guess now I don't have an excuse to not do the things I'm supposed to do

Also, we have a friend with some electrical experience who's gonna take a look at our dumpster-dive TV. We're gonna get everything we should need to repair it, soldering iron, replacement capacitors, etc. Hopefully that power board is the only thing wrong with it.

i bought a tattoo pen to tat my rabbits and i was doing one today and he kicked and bumped my hand and i stabbed myself with the needle

so i guess it's time for me to become the rebellious goth child i was always meant to be. this tiny dot on my thumb is an expression of my inner self, obviously
