Yeah rolling in over the 101 I was dying with no A/C in the car. Even with the windows down, the air coming in was hot and uncomfortable :(

See way over there on the pacific where it's 66? That where I am. Yay.
- Todd Hoff
84 degrees with 0% humidity would actually be a perfect summer day for me. It's amazing how 33-66% humidity can absolutely ruin everything.

This map illustrates why I live where I live.

You really don't want to hear this: 76F, 46% humidity, clear, beautiful. (I'm quoting Bing on the humidity: I would have said 20%-30%.) Oh, and an 8MPH breeze...

We're (the UK) is getting a mini-heatwave but it's only in the SE of England, only for a few days and only hitting 30C - hot enough for me though.

I wouldn't trade my Bay Area mid-60's for any of that hot, muggy nonsense!
- Russian Space Lizard
I always found the Bay--even the East Bay--slightly chilly, even in August, but I guess it would be much better than this grotesquely unnatural suffocating humidity we have in So Cal right now. I hear this is the very far outer fringes of an Eastern Pacific hurricane or something?

speaking as someone living in the middle of the burning heart of this map: "FLAME ON!"

Victor: "East Bay" covers a lot of territory--where I am (Livermore) and the surrounding area are rarely chilly in summer. Berkeley and Alameda, more likely.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, yeah, I always forget that East Bay refers to the inland valleys as well. I've gotten use to thinking of it as just the side cis of the Oakland Hills.

Maybe we should make politics like American Idol, or Survivor. We should vote on whether they get to stay in Congress every time they vote on a bill. So maybe every Tuesday night, politicians would get voted off the Hill for being uncooperative or incompetent, to be replaced by someone more amenable to the will of the American people.
Unfortunately, no. We only get to vote on propositions written by people who manage to trick enough people into signing a petition. Most of these propositions are idiotic and insane and were probably model bills decided on by ALEC.
- Victor Ganata
Right. Now imagine that same principle applied to US Congresscritters. Yikes.
- Steven Perez
If California's legislature were run like this, every single member of the Senate and Assembly would be run out on a rail out of Sacramento every week.
- Victor Ganata
The propositions only get through because no one cares. Half the people don't know what they're signing. Just think about how treacherous and weasely the wording of Proposition 8 was. I bet half the people who voted for it thought they were supporting gay marriage.
- Victor Ganata
All this would accomplish would be to force politicians to at least pretend they cared about common people. They'd probably still spout the same insanity, but at least the damage they could do would be limited to a single week of asshattery.
- Victor Ganata
I mean, think of where the approval ratings of Rick Scott and Scott Walker and Paul Ryan are right now. If this system were in place, they would've been out on their asses months ago.
- Victor Ganata
We'd be even better off if we could find politicians who cared about the common people. Or at least who could pretend they cared about the common people. The fact that they'd rather pander to Walmart or BP instead of individual citizens speaks volumes of how screwed up things are.
- Victor Ganata
So you see how it's possible to come to the conclusion that it's really the corporations that are the problem, and not necessarily the government....
- Victor Ganata
Corporations win in any political environment, try to pick one that works for people. Of course people need to particiapte not sit omn their ass watching TV
- WarLord
We could always just outlaw corporations :D
- Victor Ganata
To be honest, I don't really see any politicians pandering to the SEIU, Planned Parenthood, or the NRDC these days. So, I going to go with a "no".
- Victor Ganata
Equally hard to deal with a party whose default position on everything the man offers them - which is pretty much everything they ask for - is conditional on the man's resignation.

It's not easy to compromise when the other side claims hostages.

Why doesn't everyone else back off this stupid "we have to fix the budget before we raise the ceiling" BS? The White House _did_ ask for a clean bill (months ago), one that would simply raise the debt ceiling. It's a routine housekeeping matter - the ceiling has been raised routinely by both parties in the past -- 89 times -- and only _now_ has the process been taken hostage by a radical right-wing fringe.

If I could have FF+G+, rather than G++FF, then I *might* consider it.

I think the issue here is that every1 is cobbling together social apps' and cross docking of the same across various ecosystems. Without a hard install, we get gett FF into G+, but why should a user need to have these install's in the 1st place ?
- Peter Dawson
It’s not “the politicians in Washington” who don’t understand the risks of failing to raise the debt ceiling. It’s the Republican Party. It was the Republican Party’s idea to turn the debt ceiling vote from a symbolic opportunity for the opposition party to posture against deficits into a high-stakes negotiation over budget policy. It’s the... - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
I miss Summer. Actually, we didn't really have a summer this year ... and winter has been positively icy. So I'm willing and ready to swap you for some hot hot hot stuff :)
- Penny
I don't mind cold weather. You can always put on another sweater, jacket, blanket. Summer heat, you could take it all off, get arrested for indecent exposure, and still be too hot.
- April Russo
But that's why you have AC, to escape it when it all gets a little too much :)
- Penny
I don't really have AC. Can't afford to run it, and even if we could, my hubby has always been the type to not allow me to run the AC unless he is home and thinks we need it for HIS comfort.
- April Russo
Ah, that sucks then. I'm pretty lucky to have the things to help cope with the heat when it's unbearable. I still prefer being hot over being cold though. My body is not wired for cold!

"Chris Bray and his father Kenneth attended the first space shuttle launch 30 years ago and even though they hadn’t seen any other launches in person since, they decided to make the journey to see the final launch to ‘bookend’ the shuttle program in their lives. Plus, they were able to take this great image of father and son at two shuttle launches, “the picture we waited 30 years to complete,” Chris Bray said."
