Thomson Reuters: Mexico is about to experience its 'highest temperatures ever recorded' as death toll climbs https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/mexico-heat-wave-1.7214308

ai6yr,

@MsMerope We've been below average here, was just looking at the little temperature gauge post things today. I will enjoy it while it lasts.

ai6yr,

@MsMerope But yes, that would be #1 on my list of "bad stuff that could happen in 2024" list (for folks who don't live in hurricane areas). And, globally. #2 is super-crazy-hurricanes level Texas, Louisiana, or Florida. #3 is H5N1 hops from cows to humans and then it's all bets off. #4 is western wildfires, but that is an assumed risk; that said, a lot of the flammable stuff caught fire in the last 8 years or so, so less fuel. But heatwaves are #1.

Uhhhhhh

ai6yr,

I'm thinking "El Baba" is not the Spanish version of the phrase, which Google says is "The Slime Grill" 🙄

Oh look, I can check out a typewriter from the library next time I need to type a ransom note or film a Taylor Swift video.

Safety note: do not accidentally stab yourself with a steak knife reaching for something else in the dish rack, LOL. It's painful, even if you don't break the skin. If it looks like I was in a knife fight, it was just with myself 😂

Well, that must be one heck of a house fire to have an evac warning. (San Diego, Carlsbad)

Crow intelligence in action: the crows here will eat animals that have been visibly wounded/hit by cars/etc., but will NOT eat animals which do not have visible marks (ie potentially rat poisoned).

New York Times: ‘New Territory’ for Americans: Deadly Heat in the Workplace

"In the coming months, this team of roughly 30 people at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is expected to propose a new rule that would require employers to protect an estimated 50 million people exposed to high temperatures while they work. They include farm laborers and construction workers, but also people who sort packages in warehouses, clean airplane cabins and cook in commercial kitchens. "

ai6yr,

"it is expected to meet stiff resistance from some business and industry groups, which oppose regulations that would, in some cases, require more breaks and access to water, shade and air-conditioning.

But even if the rule takes effect, experts say, the government’s emergency response system is poorly suited to meet the urgency of the moment....

Last year was the hottest in recorded history, and researchers are expecting another record-breaking summer, with temperatures already rising sharply across the Sun Belt...

The surge in deaths from heat is now the greatest threat to human health posed by climate change"

ai6yr, to cycling

After getting back into bicycling, suddenly realize HOW MUCH of towns here in Southern California are built around cars, and getting cars from place to place (and not so much people). You're so blind to those design choices when you're in a car!

LOL pledging to bike to work, school, or fun at least once to enter to win a gift card, and the site's "robot detector" insists I must click on photos of cars in order to enter. 😂

Hmm, they mention using pheromones and a swarm of bees as a "radical idea" to attack enemies for the military in "The Men Who Stare At Goats", LOL. (It would work, but you can't cart around beehives, really)
