Random Rants XLIV: I Can't Find The Answer

It's also about 40 degrees here.

Farenheit, yes, but this thread has gone almost 10 pages without a single metric/'Murican measurement argument, and that's pretty terrible for a Rants/Raves thread.
 
When are you merry cans gonna get with it, wake up and smell the coffee overcooking in the overheated kitchen, eh?

There was that space probe that slammed into a planet, because you merry cans can't handle the difference between metres and yards. (It's 3 and a bit inches, btw)
 
Make me feel like the poorly coordinated semi-crippled moron that I am?

Amongst other things.
 
Here winter is being surprisingly warm, and temperatures have seldom gone under 10ºC.

Rant: My book, this book I've wanted since it came out in October, Sánchez Pinyol's latest, "Victus", damn, it has pages 321-354 twice. One set is where they belong to, and the other substitutes pages 225-256, which are missing. [pissed]

Predicted temperatures tomorrow between 43 and 45 and the official fire danger warning being "catastrophic". Total fire ban across the state.

The headline on NBC.com this morning was about catastrophic wildfires in Australia. Where are they happening?

It should probably be a Kelvin/celsius argument. At least those two metrics make some sense.

I agree with you. I have to learn and use both systems because 'murica, but only one of them makes any freaking sense.

Hey, it wasn't NASA's fault. That was Lockheed's mistake. :lol: epic fail

Any country where teachers, firefighters and policemen get paid less than a bunch of college drop outs who exist solely to throw balls around has it's priorities messed up. Not to mention that many children idolize and want to grow up to be the latter and rarely the former.

Rant: I'm having bad intestinal issues but can't see a real doctor.

That's quite hot. I experienced that sort of temperature in London (a mere 43 C according to a maybe not entirely accurate car thermometer of outside ambient temperature), one freakish day in 2003. 'Twas hot. And the city sort of shut down. People said the underground was an amazing place to be. And not pleasant.

I was there then, went to a history festival near Warwick Castle, and people were wilting, though it was only a mere 39. And without humidity! 39's a relatively common temperature here (i.e. at least a several days a year); pushing the mid 40s though isn't. I remember when it hit 44 a few years back, but usually the worst days cap at 42ish. Once you get above 35, it seems that discomfort levels exponentially rise. :(

Everywhere! But mostly Tasmania (my sister's meant to be cycling through it in a couple of days, so her holiday plans might be put on hold...). Authorities are saying that tomorrow's going to be the most dangerous fire conditions ever in NSW (the average state max for the last week's been ~39, I think, up as high as 48 in places), so there's bound to be some here. There were bad fires a few years in a row a decade or so ago, and the railway line near where I live was forced to close. I need to use that railway line in a couple of days, so I hope there's no repeat of that! Worst case scenario for Sydney is probably fire on the outskirts blocking all roads in and out.
 
This last summer of 2012 we had a really bad fire over here. Near the French border and the main road that crosses the border. Later that summer I went to France and we took that road. And for miles you could only see ashes and burnt trees.

Where was my rant? Oh yeah, back to uni today! But that's not bad per se, of course. What is bad is that I have an exam tomorrow, another one two days after that, and my driving test inbetween. And I wonder again, why the hell did I get into this? How the hell am I gonna make it past this stage in my life? And most importantly, what the hell did I just get into?
 
You are a selfish evil person. I am here ranting about how my life is going to hell and you complain about hunger?!

Okay, I understand. I am hungry too after all.
