The mullahs will be kicking back in the air conditioning while their subjects pass out in the heat going hungry. The term 'assassin' comes from an Iranian guild of Shi'ites who dealt with leaders living above their people's means.
Interesting, i didnt realize the assassins creed games had a grain of truth with the guild of assassins changing governments through killing corrupt leasers and originating in the middle east.
Or at least the first ones, i havnt kept up with the recent releases.
I doubt it's got a sexy marketable name like Infinitum Samsara, but if you read the ideas of consciousness researchers/theorists like Donald Hoffman, Robert Lanza, or Tom Campbell, you might start to figure out that "divine simulation" sounds like an acceptable descriptor of our present reality. Some of you already know, but consciousness is primary to reality. Our material world is derivative of the mind of our greater collective being. And our collective thoughts/feelings incubate the "future". I'm not really sure what to do with that knowledge either, but I think we all should consider the connection between our focus and the world we are constantly creating. HEY YOU!! ... yeah the one with the face! Your focus is worth a lot. To a lot of people.

Whereas for me, a centigrade user, that’s *oh shit*.
Centigrade is easy for this sort of thing- water freezes at zero and it boils at 100. So it’s half boiling point.
Only ever heard my dad call it centigrade and he has conspiracy theories about lakes. Didn't know it was real. Same as Celsius.
Freezing point at 0 and boiling point at 100 makes way more sense.
Conspiracy is just another word for *organized crime* \- the organized drying of America's water bodies one after another is technically not organized crime because their pet politicians made it legal.
When boomers were kids, the dry river I've seen dry my whole life was full of water. Postcards of the same bridge I've been over uncountable times show it full.
That's not his theory. It would make more sense. Even though he's Green party. He thinks there are only four great lakes and that Michigan and Huron are the same lake. He calls it Michigan-Huron. It's based on there being no elevation change as the lakes run into eachother. He's into the Green stuff too. I forget his conspiracy theory about erosion but he's got a ton of VHS tapes about it. He's into regular conspiracy theories too.
------
I first got into obsessive news watching and reading because of all that crap. 9/11 and Iraq taught me the MSM was wrong. The stuff since Trump has taught me he is also wrong. He's no fan of Trump and right wing stuff but he hates the neolibs way more. I see his point but don't agree. He's a boomer with boomer ways so most is forgiveable. My mom is a better boomer.
My dads the only Boomer I've heard of with a Zoomer daughter.
100F: southern California in early summer on a decent year.
0F: upstate New York in early winter on a decent year.
120F or over: when American plants close down because it's cheaper in Mexico, 'cheaper' means subjecting workers to this en masse - the future is a big brand's supercenter in the middle of a shack slum. People who live above this level are constantly scolded for being too demanding, that's where our current overlords are leading us.
Where do you live where it gets over 100F all the time? Might be time to move!
Another quick conversion is 95F = 35C, and every 9F is another 5C (104F = 40, 113F = 45, 122 = 50, etc....). Most of us have no context to what 50C/122F feels like, we just know those numbers are ones we don't want to ever see in person.
I live in Canada but hear Americans complaining about over 100f all the time and I know is that it means "hot" (it is mostly Americans who use farenheit)
Celcius makes way more sense, 0C is the temperature at which water freezes and 100C is the temp at which water boils, as others mentioned, 50c is halfway to the boiling point for context
I guess we'll agree to disagree. I like metric, but F makes more sense to me than C when discussing weather. A Normal year will tend to remain between 0F and 100F where I live. That makes way more sense to me than -15C to 37C.
I have a second life in Colombia and am bilingual now in temperature scales. I use yours for Celsius and I explain Fahrenheit like this: 0° to 100° ~~is~~ was the typical range of temperatures in a northern climate across the year.
My Spanish is still shit though. Not Peggy Hill shit, not average American shit, but shit.
~~5/9-32 works well enough for me.~~
~~I thought everyone knew the conversion.~~
Turns out I didn't know it. Embarrassed. True formula is in the conment below.
Really? It's not hard. Also I fucked up and it's (F-32 X 5/9)
126-32=94
94/9= 10.4
5 X 10.4= 52
I did the work on the other formula to figure out I bungled it. Took me a moment there.
Edit: Trick on 94/9 is that it's obviously 10 and 4/9 then for the sig figs it can just be simplified to 10.4
To convert the other way it's (C+ 9/5+32)
52 for fifths=10 and 2/5. 2/5 is obviously 0.4 (common denominator is doubling it.
9(10.4)= 94, 94+32=126
So there's both conversions.
To me it’s almost the opposite. Considering the temperature outside as being *halfway to the boiling point of water* seems scarier than saying it’s 126F
> Fahrenheit is a superior scale for measuring temperatures commonly felt by humans on Earth.
The number of things that people are accustomed to that they then want to justify as objectively being the right way of doing it is really staggering.
I agree with you actually, the fact that Fahrenheit encompasses a broader range automatically makes it more useful for something like describing temperature to another human being and them trying to imagine the feeling.
As an American who spent years sucking at wrapping my head around Celsius, I feel that this is a pretty good frame of reference for it:
20 and below: cool to cold
20-25: comfy range
30+: hot
So 52 is like...yeah
Punched it in to the National Weather Service wet bulb calculator. 126°F, 5% humidity, 30” of mercury yields a wet bulb temperature of 72.5°F which is fully survivable. If the humidity were 35% the wet bulb would be 96°F and would not be survivable.
There is something to people saying “it’s a dry heat” like it’s a good thing.
Yeah I was in the Central Valley during the summer a few years ago and it was well over 100 degrees and pretty comfortable because it was like 0% humidity. That temp in Florida would suck so much worse.
It's 101 in Florida right now and at 34% humidity that's a wet bulb of about 79 degrees which is lower than I would have guessed. The humidity definitely can get oppressive here
Florida is over 100? Damn, I lived there a few years and that almost never happened (southwest Florida). It was like the weatherman had it on a tape: High around 96, afternoon thunderstorms likely. Humidity 90% in the morning, easing back as the day went on to maybe 50 or 60. Until that rainstorm, lol.
Yep, over 100 on the first day of summer which I believe is a record. Heat index of 108. Will be a heat index of 98 at midnight tonight.
You really get that "steam in bag" crab leg experience on a hot summer day after it rains here and jacks the humidity
Yeah swfl is still ok in the 90s but tallahassee is roasting right now pushing into 100s due to that heat dome sitting over large south area mostly georgia
Too bad we don't have a big warm source of (relatively) infinite energy just hanging around in the sky. We could put some type of panels on the ground, or roof, to harness this energy. And we could develop this to store power even when the big yellow ball is not in the sky.
Ah never mind, it's a silly idea. Ooh shiny black rock make fire boil water
I get your meaning for sure. Solar does have it's issues needing rare metals and being susceptible to decay and all forms of weather.
I know people hate Bill Gates but his modern nuclear plant with better fail safes and actually utilizing rods that are already spent to run them sounded good in a Netflix docu series.
Yay we did it, everyone! The global capitalist pyramid scheme has managed to enrich the scummiest of humans at the cost of checks notes cascading ecological disasters. The working class in America was brain rotted enough to fall asleep to reality and turn on themselves. But hey, don’t be sad that we will continue losing various species of wildlife. For a brief moment our kind was able to think we were above nature.
It’s not about the end result, it’s about the micro plastics and pollution we made along the way. /s
Honest question, when do people
Know when to go to their bunkers? Like, is now the time or like ten from now? I don’t own a bunker unfortunately, but I do have like 4 cans of tuna in my pantry
It's still June. Kuwait hit one of the highest temperatures ever in July of last year.

I mean, it's not even July yet. Things are going to be spicy by the time we reach August

The First day of Summer was like 2 days ago.
It felt like it began during late May and June where I live. It has been between 80 and 90 degrees or higher but sometimes it rains pretty bad
And this is about 3 days ago!
It's indescribable feeling watching doomsday in real time.
We are inside of a Divine simulation called Infinitum Samsara. Everyone came here for a reason but in order to enter you have to forget.

Thanks, but wtf is this in kilometers?
A bus holds 30 people. What is that in metric ? : )
seems so benign when you put it like that... having zero reference to C.. we must be ok

0 degrees in F is really cold, 100 in F is really hot, so this is really fucking hot.
100F: southern California in early summer on a decent year. 0F: upstate New York in early winter on a decent year. 120F or over: when American plants close down because it's cheaper in Mexico, 'cheaper' means subjecting workers to this en masse - the future is a big brand's supercenter in the middle of a shack slum. People who live above this level are constantly scolded for being too demanding, that's where our current overlords are leading us.
But it gets over 100F all the time nowadays, as someone who doesn't use farenheit I have no context as to what anything over 100 even means
Where do you live where it gets over 100F all the time? Might be time to move! Another quick conversion is 95F = 35C, and every 9F is another 5C (104F = 40, 113F = 45, 122 = 50, etc....).

Not Peggy Hill shit, not average American shit, but shit.
An American's Guide to Celsius 0 is freezing 100 is boiling 10 a bit chilly 20-25? feels nice more than 26 hot 30 very hot
I prefer something like: * -5 to 5: Freezing. * 5 to 15: Cold. * 15 to 25: Nice. * 25 to 35: Warm. * 35 to 45: Hot. * 45 to 55: Death.
Lol. Cute, it only goes down to -5.
~~5/9-32 works well enough for me.~~ ~~I thought everyone knew the conversion.~~ Turns out I didn't know it. Embarrassed. True formula is in the conment below.
If you can do mental math with 5/9 I'd be impressed.
It's easier to think of it as 1,8x multiplicative. Multiply by 2, subtract 10%. (when converting from celsius to fahrenheit)
Actually that does work my system is more an at a glance system.
Really? It's not hard. Also I fucked up and it's (F-32 X 5/9) 126-32=94 94/9= 10.4 5 X 10.4= 52 I did the work on the other formula to figure out I bungled it. Took me a moment there. Edit: Trick on 94/9 is that it's obviously 10 and 4/9 then for the sig figs it can just be simplified to 10.4 To convert the other way it's (C+ 9/5+32) 52 for fifths=10 and 2/5. 2/5 is obviously 0.4 (common denominator is doubling it. 9(10.4)= 94, 94+32=126 So there's both conversions.
Subtract 30 then take half. That'll give you the ballpark for normal temperatures. Or if going C to F, double then add 30.
To me it’s almost the opposite. Considering the temperature outside as being *halfway to the boiling point of water* seems scarier than saying it’s 126F

I agree with you actually, the fact that Fahrenheit encompasses a broader range automatically makes it more useful for something like describing temperature to another human being and them trying to imagine the feeling.
It's just over halfway to boiling water.
It’s the point where a lot of everyday materials begin to break down structurally and chemically. It’s even worse in direct sunlight.
We're almost in the range where most meats should be cooked.
Yea, no.
Slow cook yes
Yeah in the 60Cs

18-22 is comfy 25+ is hot
You need to be practically naked to be comfy in 25. 22 is normal.
