Random Rants LV: The Joy of Ranting

[Phrossack]

The cold does feel lovely.

Rant: Roommates constantly getting noisy with their girlfriends, sometimes several times a day. I can hear everything, even through the walls, across the short hall, and behind two doors. May need to enact the spoiled milk plan, or get a vuvuzela and play it whenever they're being irritating.

Also, the more I read about the Puritans in my Puritan class, the more want to answer the question "How many Puritans died in King Philip's War?" with "Not enough."

Puritans are such party-poopers

 

[Tee Kay]

We here on the Boomerang Coast have been dealing with alternating hours of hot and cold, dry and weat weather for the past couple of weeks or so. We've had 30+ days followed by a massive thunderstorm and flooding.

Those 'Mericans are weaklings, regarding temperature.

Yes, but the worst part is that for some reasons unknown they do not bow down to the superior Celsius system. I mean, sure, we could let them slide with the imperial system - it's the only thing that remains from the British, plus the language and the settlements with funny names in New England.

What's worse is that the texts are not only in an archaic style with brutal run-on sentences, but they're so theological that I can't understand them at all. Theology is incomprehensible gibberish to me.

Also, my ankle pops constantly and loudly. Every other step goes crack.

Theology is incomprehensible even to us believers at times.

At least you can combat that by putting on headphones, or running a fan.

My roommates have a 300 dollar speaker system, and they like to play it at max volume close to 24/7. It's loud enough that not only can I hear it clearly in my room with the door shut, window open, fan on highest setting and headphones on at the highest volume, but I can freaking feel it.

And they're not even polite enough to play good music. It's bad enough I've been thinking about going solo next year, one bedroom apartment. I just need to find one I can afford.

You just need to find roommates who aren't fecal material vents.

basic story is I'm a lazy joke writer

WIMPS!

I was outside a year ago when it was about -5f at night in the snow with only a t-shirt, it's plenty bearable, it's just, who wants it under 70? Bad times had by all.

Oh yes oh yes!

 

[JohannaK]

Anywhere from 25C to somewhere around -5C is perfectly livable weather.

 

[Borachio]

I'd say the livable range of temperatures is wider than that. It all depends on your "clothing".

Somewhere between -70 to +50 C, I think. But someone will point out the use of spacecraft extends this range quite a lot.

And these can take you up to 1000 C for short periods of time.

Without clothing, I don't think I'd like to venture outside the tropics for long.

Both of these are amazing options.

WIMPS!

Canadians a wimp because they can't handle the heat.

 

[bhsup]

News sites (BBC, in this specific instance I am looking squarely at you) that provide video news without being decent enough to also provide a complete text version of the story. If I want to watch BBC News, I'll watch BBC World News on BBCAmerica. When I go to news.bbc.co.uk I want to read the news, not watch it.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Rant: I took some aspirin, knowing fully that it interacted with my antidepressants. I really shouldn't have. That's all I'll say.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I was outside a year ago when it was about -5f at night in the snow with only a t-shirt, it's plenty bearable, it's just, who wants it under 70? Bad times had by all.

I'm reminded of a story my aunt and uncle told me about their 25th wedding anniversary. They went to Hawaii, and one day it was approximately 70F. They considered it a nice day, and went outside in their t-shirts, shorts, and sandals. The locals looked at them like they were insane, to be wearing so little on such a cold day.

Canadians a wimp because they can't handle the heat.

At least I don't use an air conditioner. One of these years I might break down and get an electric fan.
