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. Edited July 11, 20232 yr by Armybrat

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.

July 11, 20232 yr Ill take 107 in austin everyday before I take 99 in Houston. That shit is a cakewalk compared to 85% humidity

What's a swamp cooler Walter?

July 11, 20232 yr I roofed in Phoenix circa 2009 and adjusted there circa 1998. Everyone had a roof mounted swamp cooler. Detach, lift, reset, and Flashing that water monster was a bitch.
July 11, 20232 yr 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.

This is America. I have the right to bitch about the got damn heat.
July 11, 20232 yr The top of my steering wheel was so fucking hot yesterday afternoon after work that I couldn't touch it.

July 11, 20232 yr 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.

July 12, 20232 yr 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

July 12, 20232 yr 103 predicted for the high in Amarillo today. It’s still not remotely as miserable as 93 in H-town with 75+ humidity.
July 12, 20232 yr We need these tech dorks to stop creating new twitters and start trying to figure out how to manipulate the weather. I want last week’s highs back, dammit.

July 12, 20232 yr What I'm genuinely curious about is a comparison of heat and comfort level dependent on the location. Like, I don't know...what about Houston? Same right?
