For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

So my sister is on vacation and has sent me a photo of the store she was buying clothes in.

I think I will probably trigger OP, but I think I was this kid but more in a "omg why do you immediately assume there is deep meaning in the curtain colour, it's probably just the fav colour of the writer!" kind of way. And I spent my middle and high school year despising poetry and critical commentary, mainly because I sucked at analysing a text. Teenage me was "So character A feels deep anger toward character B for X reason. We see it because of the abundance of angerness related words, the repetitive use of the pronoun "you" and this litotes line 67 that is full of spite and irony" and the teacher would be "great, what can you tell me about the carpet colour?" "it's red" "and?" "it's red". Of course I knew that red was associated with anger and blood, but I would find it totally unrelated and skip it. Or "great, now what can you tell me about the rhythm of the text? What does it transcribe?" I would have no clues at all because it a classical tragedy based on a Greek myth and we all know that alexandrines are the norms for this kind of piece????? Now can you leave me in peace while I enjoy the drama, for once that the imposed reading is interesting????

So yeah I was the "Why are you bothering me with the curtain colour, who cares? I just want to read in peace" kid and then, if asked, I would make the most complete summary of the text with character sheets and interaction diagrams, and stuff, like "yeah I read the damn book and this is what it's about".

And then I that to go to university and go for literature major. The worst nightmare of 14 yo me. And all my teachers were telling me "great you made a nice analysis of the content, now what about the way it's written?" It lasted 6 years. And while it was very formative, I think I'm still this kid deep down, I'm just able to make a nice commentary, now :')

“Lolllll English teachers read into everything like it’s not that deep bro”

I will bite your nose off. I will sink my teeth into the cartilage and tear. No one in your high school English class thought you were funny. No one thought you were clever when you snickered about “blue curtains” behind the underpaid teacher’s back. I would say you peaked in high school if not for the fact you actually peaked in middle school. You need to wake up. You weren’t cool in school, you’re not cool now. Devaluing the desperate but failed efforts your teachers made to teach you reading comprehension doesn’t make you look cool. You look so dumb right now, and I’m going to bite your nose off. How are you gonna turn up your nose to the work of writers when you don’t have one?

Merlin: Leon we’re literally immortal it can’t hurt you….

Not to forget how frightening it would be to see them interact with their big sister Anya. She would be the best sister in the world, knowing what her siblings need and want before they could learn to speak. And when they will grow up, they would learn to read Anya facial expressions as a silent answer to their thoughts. They will drive their parents crazy, and scare the entire world with their silent conversations. On the cute side, they would always go to Anya when they need to ask something but don't know how to explain what they need because Anya would just get it, and Yor would be both glad and sad. Glad that her kids are getting along so well (reminding her of her own childhood), and sad that her youngest babies prefers to go to their sister when in need (the anxiety of not being a good mother).

I know we make ship kids for Loid and Yor but I feel like we overlook what a menace that child will be. The mental capacity the strength? If they had a kid it would be a invasive species 😭

Do you know when Arthur talks about leading a raid on the druids? I can’t remember which episode and I need to rewatch for totally not fanfic related purposes

Not me having to deduce the answer to this question by mere association because my brain's weird...

So, Arthur talks about this with Merlin really late in the series, when they accidentally stumble over the remains of that druid site. Arthur is acting weird and distracted all over the episode, so he's initially not much of a focus.

The focus is Merlin and then Elian who gets possessed by the well spirit.

I believe this to happen in season 5, because of how dark the episode was. However, Elian dies in 'the dark tower' and every episode prior to that is focused on other aspects of the series. Ergo, let's look at season 4.

Season 4 episode 10: a herald of a new age. That's the one.
