You won’t believe your ears, but corn is making the extreme heat the US midwest is battling feel more intense, according to experts. The moisture – or “sweat” – that corn and other crops release in high temperatures is contributing to the humidity in the air in the midwest US, where 55 million people have been under alerts for extreme heat in recent days. The increase in moisture pushes up dew points, making it harder for water vapor to condensate – and for it to feel cooler. Exacerbating the situation is the fact that the US is the “largest producer, consumer, and exporter of corn in the world”, as well as ethanol, which the country primarily makes from corn kernel starch, according to the US Department of Agriculture. And two states in the grips of the heatwave – Iowa and Illinois – are responsible for a third of US-produced corn. That has left residents of those states, along with other prolific corn-producing neighbors, feeling even warmer as they grapple with scorching temperatures forecasted to reach 105F (41C) to 115F (46C). “It is the plants reacting to that warmer weather. They also then need more moisture, so they’re uptaking more from stored-underground water and bringing that up to the atmosphere that we’re in,” Chris Clark, an agronomist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison told a local CBS news outlet. One acre of corn, which is a little smaller than the size of an American football field, can can create 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of corn sweat, Clark said.

Not to worry, it'll soon be too hot and dry to grow any crops.

Took way more aggravated damaged than what I could soak while hanging clothes.

Alocasia Hilo Beauty

This plant is super gorgeous, the leaf pattern are outstanding. It does behave like a colocasias, leaves die off and new ones comes out. I'm waiting to see if it will go dormant or not.

Definitely provide high humidity and don't let is dry too much.

Hello I saw your post about keeping cool in humidity.

Here to say that even though it’s disgustingly wet and you feel like a smelly amphibian as soon as you go outside, drink lots of water. It’s very easy to get dehydrated without realizing it when you sweat that much. Don’t forget about electrolytes either. Your body will lose a lot of salt as it sweats.

Thanks!

Came across this HUGE rolling promo quite accidentally. Wait for the end. Istg I have never come so close to irrationally losing my mind in such a public space.

One of my head canons is that Navi (or at least the Omaticaya) can't thermo-regulate very well. They're so SKINNY, and both the places we've been to look to have very warm and temperate climates. It's just something that they never evolved to do because they never needed to. Humans thermo-regulate pretty well, and I think this ability would translate somewhat to the avatars.

This breeds some "Jake is weird" moments where everyone is getting out thick blankets and starting many warming fires because of a cold night or the onset of a cold season and Jake is just standing there like, "Y'all it's not even below 60 degrees" (I'm a fahrenheit person). Neytiri thinks she's struck gold because her Jake gives of body heat like nobody's business and is perfect to be next to on cold nights.

Spider, fully human, is even more of a personal furnace. The kids FIGHT over who gets to cuddle with him on cold nights. Meanwhile him and Jake are looking at each other like, "I feel like it could be way colder" "oh it can, on earth the rain turns into mini-ice when it gets cold" "damn" "yeah, this is way better"

I love this idea, it fuels me sometimes.

spider is like a personal heated pillow of sorts, cause not only is he warm as fuck compared to his siblings, but he's also very squishy compared to them, and in general (cause the kids buff as shit and muscle is super soft when not tensed up). I'd be fighting over him too, he'd gotta feel like a big teddy bear, even just to other humans, let alone the na'vi.

I like to think that in the case of spider being accepted by neytiri as a kid, him and jake were forced to sleep in the middle of the pile to keep everyone warm when they wanted to be edge sleeps so they could sorta cool off and not overheat. neytiri would also steal spider from the kids and hold him all night long cause she's his mom and she has first dibs on using her son as a personal space heater.

I do also love the idea of jake and spider constantly overheating when doing things the na'vi way, especially during the cooler months, cause while the na'vi are freezing at the absolutely frigid temps for mid to low 60s, jake and spider are like, at the optimal temp. so when they get blankets and shawls piled on them like everyone else, they're legit dying. they have to have their own system to regulating their human/avatar temp needs throughout the seasons, cause otherwise they will die of heat stroke.

I'd love to see the sully family explore even colder climates, like, jake and spider having fun in the snow, while the kids and neytiri are literally popsicles. both boys resign to their fates as human defrosters soon after.

I'm feeling salty so I'm just gonna say-

If you can't handle the idea of feeding live prey to something.

Do not get a pet. That requires you. To feed it live fucking prey. There are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS!

Also don't be that fucking weirdo who goes on other people's socials and bitches about how it's "inhumane" or "gross". They'd be doing it out in the wild. It's a little something called nature. And no, you cannot find an "alternative" for your mantis.

It's a MANTIS. It is like. One of the most famous predatory insects. It is infamous for eating its prey alive.

If you're going to be a little baby about feeding live prey. Then get a pet that doesn't need that. And shut the fuck up.

I see that the Northern Hemisphere is finally getting the extreme heatwave the Equator countries have been suffering from for the past 5 months.

Get an AC of some sort, seriously. And powerbanks and USB fans. Your power grid ain't gonna hold up, I assure you from experience from the first half of 2024.

Can I be honest. I’m sick of companies of all sorts designing things that basically only benefit/work for people living in california and nowhere else? It’s getting tiring for the rest of us

[ableedingpromise]

I'm using a blow dry brush and it's actually working!?!??!!?!?!?!?

WIP of my Frankie custom :] I gave them two different eye shapes in my concept art, but I didnt end up liking the look of it on the actual doll... So now their eyes are just asymmetrical in an unintentional sort of way, because symmetry is hard LOL. Hopefully I can get them a little less lopsided before I'm finished.

The details on their body will include carved in stitch lines, sculpted stitches/staples, mismatched skin tones, and detachable magnetic wrists! None of that is pictured here because I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped them up to do the faceup, and I'm not going to un-burrito them just for that lmfao.

(also please ignore the way I'm GRIPPING them in that second photo. I literally don't know why I was holding them that way.)
