@ai6yr I’ve always wanted a small thermometer for the inside of the car but most only go up to 120° & were no name brands. I finally picked up this new one this morning for $10 at Tractor Supply Co. Range is -4 to 158°F. https://www.acurite.com/shop-all/weather-instruments/thermometers-and-hygrometers/digital-thermometer-with-carabiner-clip.html. Hung it on visor out of sunlight. Around noon it was 72° & cloudy with wind, when I returned to the car from picking up groceries for 30 min. Temp inside car went from 78 to 98°. Gonna be interesting to see what it does on a 100° day….
NY Times: Their Florida ‘Paradise’ Keeps Flooding, but Some Can’t Afford a Solution
In the Shore Acres neighborhood of St. Petersburg, rising water has become a constant threat. Many residents cannot afford to elevate their homes or move.
"...But at a campaign rally for presumptive Republican presidential nominee" <redacted> "in Phoenix, 11 people fell ill from heat exhaustion by late afternoon and were taken to the hospital, where they were treated and released, fire officials said."
@EugestShirley Sadly, that seems to be the case. Not all, but there seems to be a deep cultural problem that is not easily remedied... have seen both good and bad first hand.
@ai6yr
Yes. I do not think all police are bad, far from it. I think once a department gets into a culture of rot, it becomes hard to root out.
It gets even worse once the rotten apples become the ones doing the hiring and avoiding reform.
It's a slug party,
and I've bought them all a beer
Let's invite them to come right over,
and have a great cheer
It was the cheapest beer they sell nearby
But for a party it will fly
The question is really,
Will they just get drunk, or die?
But not in the way you think, at least in my experiment (sample size n=1).
The beer attracts slugs, and saw dozens of slugs climb INTO the slug trap, drink beer, and leave much fatter.
The wood rat in the backyard (after swigging a bunch of beer itself) then ATE a bunch of those slugs... must have spent 15 minutes finding all the beer filled slugs and tearing them to bits and eating them.
So, the slugs are dead... but not DIRECTLY through the beer.
Two earthquakes in Newport Beach. M3.4 and M3.6. I received on-the-ground reports that it was "a bit disconcerting" and "sure as hell enough to get your attention". #earthquake#NewportBeach#CA
Most swarms: "gentle sweep into box" -- "we're happy! Everyone move in! Yay!"
This one: "WTF YOU DOIN MAN! WE'RE GOING TO PING YOU IN THE HEAD! IF WE COULD GET THROUGH THAT HOOD WE'D STING YOU! GET OUTTA HERE YOU!"
(we'll reassess if they move into this box today or tomorrow... if they are friendly on a check, they get a bigger box. If they are not friendly, the queen gets squished and all the other bees will have to try to get adopted by one of our other hives)
