    I'll be real with you I have no idea how anyone here is alive right now. I thought this would be a good place to live because it's usually moderately cool with plentiful water and rain and that global warming wouldn't really make much of a dent in habitability but no, we're about 5 degrees from reaching 95F wetbulb temperature and we've barely started the 2020s. Got to start figuring out where north to move now. Maybe Whitehorse would be nice

      edit: i am jumping the shark by building out an RV to be my first "owned" home. I am nearly forty. Sorry ya'll, buckle down for misery.

      The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is 35 °C (95 °F) – theoretically equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F), though the heat index does not go that high.

      What the fuck
