Who would want to do that when you can cook BACON instead?

Why instead?

Yeah, well what the hell... Let's cook breakfast. I'll take my egg sunny side up!

And then use the bacon fat to cook your eggs.

Sorry, I'm saving that for fried bread.

Wrong forum,
see - developers have AC in the office, in the elevator, in the company underground parking lot in the car and at home.

But... they also have smartphones and tablets with 'Weather App' right?

I don't at home, but except for brief stints, I've luckily stayed in shady, cool homes.
|

Wow! Imagine: here it is heavily raining with not even 10 °C. Sunshine is something missing this year.

If you want we can switch places for few days.

I cannot swim. I will have some problems getting home. And they just closed a very busy road due to land slide. Planning some time in traffic..
|
|
|
|
|
Oh! that sounds tedious. suddenly I am feeling that it's not that hot in here...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, and they say 6 more days like this.. I wanted to go home weekend, and cancelled the trip (400 kms with that rain). It's a holiday here Monday, so. Ok, I just stay here and sleep.
|
|
|
|
|
That's crazy. And it's only May, I guess it will get worse? How do you live in such a place?
|
|
|
|
|
Month of May has highest heat index here, actually it will get better in the following months as the monsoon season approaches.
|
|
|
|
|
The hottest I'v seen it around here (Phoenix, Az) is 122F 50C, Hope not to ever see it again.

Ouch! We hit 113 last week, but it's cooled off (briefly) before slamming us with Summer next month. I expect low 100s next week, then all bets are off!
You get the humidity thing there, too, don't you? Enjoy!!  Our monsoon season doesn't arrive until mid-July, then usually lasts only a couple of months. Anyone still alive after that enjoys a brief, but delightful Fall.
Will Rogers never met me.

Operation Chastise was an attack on German dams carried out on 16–17 May 1943 by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron
So, 70 years ago the 19 Lancs of 617 took off; 8 were shot down, 53 aircrew killed and 3 aircrew taken prisoner. Around 1,600 died following the breaching of the Möhne and Edersee dams. I'm not sure it was worth it or how much difference it made, but be gad it was an amazing raid.
Of the survivors, only 4 are still alive. My hat, to them, is tipped.
Reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol

Initial German casualty estimates from the floods when the dams broke were 1,294 killed, which included 749 French, Belgian, Dutch and Ukrainian prisoners of war and labourers.[18][19] Later estimates put the estimated death toll in the Möhne Valley at about 1,600, including people who drowned in the flood wave downstream from the dam.
I see nothing to tip a hat to.

It was the bravery of those boys, in volunteering for a near suicide mission. And they really were boys, Guy Gibson who led the raid was a mere 24 years old. You can argue the rights and wrongs of the war, but that belongs in a different thread.
Use the best guess

Along with Operation Frankton it was one of the most daring raids of the war

Have we no examples of bravery among our youth that doesn't involve killing of innocent people?

I'm not arguing the right or wrong of war, I'm making a statement that "tipping one's hat" to honor the bravery of young men that resulted in the death of, among others, prisoners of war, well, seems misplaced, if not, quite frankly, downright "old style" thinking. Same with that post about flags earlier.
