We haven’t been a day under 35c for weeks

Which is normal here.

Which is why we have A/C of course. Makes all the difference!

Possibly a joke....not really sure but trump seems overjoyed that Republicans or at least MAGA candidates won everything in a Republican primary??? Is this a spoof?? 753760282_10163534763502473_4835917889280108257_n.jpg Not quite. He’s referring to his endorsed candidates in the Republican conteste...

Coincidentally, I checked out from the library and rereading “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” Heinlein. Book One - The Dinkum Thinkum

Broke 40C here today

“Interesting” is a rather mild understatement!

Watching TD2 (Bertha) rather closely. The rain from this one could get out to our area and we really don't need anymore right now!

Not toasty but slightly damp…

YMMV, quite literally. Cars are not one-size fits all. Different vehicles fit different people’s needs, wants and desires. As long as we have a large enough pool of economically viable vehicle types to meet most consumers needs, we should be ok. Except we don't have such a pool. New cars have been ...

Interesting concept and design.

If the cooling doesn’t work and the reactor melts down then it is essentially a man made geothermal site…

Now, this being the humor page - can we go back to the memes and jokes? They are all pretty funny. I did hear that someone was playing the Star Wars 'Imperial March' at the Pool....they were told to stop. Sacrilege!! Although I’m not familiar with “Imperial March at the Pool” how does that flow?

with knives in their hands…. You know they have the perps on camera, right? Only footage I've seen is from a great distance away and you can't see anything in their hands (footage too grainy) - if you've got better footage I'd be curious to see it. I haven’t seen the footage but the reporting from ...

You should be okay if you can get a breeze going. Fans can do a lot to help air circulate. If not, since AC is not a possibility, try a swamp cooler. The other option for at least the day is hitting up places with better environmental systems. My wife used to teach in Elizabeth, NJ, which is one of...

Yea, that’s hot and miserable.

We’re getting there too but at least a/c is common here.

I think they were being type-certified on the plane. They only had 13 hours on the F-22, and were listed in the report as a student-pilot. IMO, 13 hours is way too soon to be worried about faffing about with refueling. Hell, it's probably too soon to be getting out of a two-seat model. They need to...

...Here's a thought - I know, it's gonna sound crazy but it might just work - how about REFUEL CERTIFYING A PILOT BEFORE YOU TYPE CERTIFY THEM AND SEND THEM TO A LINE SQUADRON??????? We've already killed one kid this way, we almost lost a few more on this. Mike I think they were being type-certifie...
