It's August and it's still too freaking hot out. We had a cool down when it first turned to August but it went right back into high 20's and 30+ humidex.

Can't tell if I have a fever, because the ambient temperature is 32C (that's a heatwave for the UK...especially as it continues during the nights). I already have a dry cough due to a "pre-existing condition", so feeling like I'm burning up is a bit anxiety-inducing in the current situation.

The area code might be spoofed, no? In my experience they often are. Seems like a flaw in the design of phone systems that caller-ID-spoofing is even possible.

The curtains in my hotel room block the cell signal. Open curtains = LTE, closed = crappy voice only.

wife won't let me turn on ac cuz the kids are in the pool and will feel cold when they come in... :rolleyes:
So I have to wait until they shower and dry their hair then I can turn it on... My office is the hottest room in the house (connected to garage) and I have to have the door closed to cut down noise.

I have an icepack on my head...

Time to get a mini split for the office. :p

So glad I got AC now, it's been brutal hot and it's only going to get worse every year I think.

I see this stupid "hack your metabolism" ad often on YouTube.

Plz don't use the word "hack" unless you're talking about breaking into computer systems. Or I guess hacking shit with a machete or something.

Food hacks, metabolism hacks, life hacks, hair hacks, travel hacks... Fml

These 13 life hacks will blow you away, you won't believe number 14!

Then it's one of those stupid sites where each item is on one page and you have to click like 3 times just to make it go to next one, and so much Javascript to make even a Threadripper work hard.

Fun fact. The term "hacking" was originated as a term to describe a clever or unorthodox solution to a problem. Breaking into computer systems is "cracking", which is a subcategory of hacking.

I don't remember the last time I wore a tie. Used to wear a shirt and tie at church then just gravitated towards wearing a polo, even in winter.

Thankfully my job hardly has any dress code so it's mostly just jeans and tshirt, or even shorts, in summer.
