Random Rants LVII: wow. many anger. very whining.

9 pm and it's 7C here, maybe I'll head to the raves thread

 

For my gentlemanly and friendly classmates, in this world, four games exist: Counter-Strike, LoL, DotA and Travian. No, don't ask.

 

"We are pleased with your interest in working at our supermarket/hardware store/retail store at a very basic entry-level position. Before we consider your possible employment, please fill out this information form, submit a resumé, and answer this survey about the drugs we're sure you use and your inevitable plans to steal from us. We will also require a urine drug test, a stool sample, a piece of skin from the back of your scalp, a lock of hair, and a blood sample. Working as a bagboy/floor sweeper/shelf stocker is a task of monumental importance and we value the safety and happiness of our customers."

--Every place ever

 

Also fifty witnesses that you're a real and existing person under the name you're using.

 

drug tests are a violation of the 14th amendment

 

And yet, I have something which you lack.

 

Counter Strike is a great game but.

 

Okay, I know what the first three are, but what's Travian?

 

Google DuckDuckGo is your friend!

 

We got to 44.4C today. Thank goodnes for air conditioning.

 

That's almost balmy. It's -30C here (with wind chill; without wind chill it's -18C).

That's an insane temperature. My comfort zone is less than half that.

 

Given a choice between -30C (or even -18C) and 44.4C, I'll take the latter.

 

Very minor rant: When you're playing with Akinator and then suddenly it asks you a specific question and you know its got you. It can be pretty freaky how quickly it can narrow things down.

 

That is what i feel about your temperature. I just can't handle that sort of cold.

 

While I'm no fan of really low temperatures, there is the option to put on seventeen layers of clothing and be reasonable comfortable when outside. At very high temperatures I will be uncomfortable outside no matter what.

 

While anything over 30 Celsius is really hot (and 44 likely is hellish if one is outside), -30 indeed sounds a lot worse..

I think that 20-25 is great for the Spring/Summer

 

They are both god-awful, but the hotter one less so.

 

And it likely is a lot more difficult to die from extreme heat (eg 40+ degrees) than from extreme cold (-30 and below).

 

What's worse than cold or heat though, is damp cold and damp heat. It's usually not too bad as long as its relatively dry, but add a bit of humidity, and yuccccck.
