You can tell who the freshmen are at the university, since they're the only ones still wearing shorts when it gets below 70.

[Big_Japan]

i wear shorts year round, keeping sperm count up all part of the white man's burden

[Knuckle]

Wearing coats outside for 3 weeks out of the year struggling.

Sorry knuck, we don't speak cuban, and not all of us are from africa and enjoy scorching heat.

It gets hotter across probably 2/3 of the US than it ever does in FL. Across the midwest, you might see 30-40 days per year at 100+, while in Miami, it has reached 100 exactly once since 1895.

It's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity. I've been in 115+ weather in southern california that felt like 70s, and I've been in 80 degree weather in the deep south and ended up with heat exhaustion.

Well, scorching heat implies high temperature. You don't get scorched by mid 90s temp and mid 90s humidity. Smothering heat would be a better term for Florida summers.

You don't get scorched from mid 90's temp? Have you ever had to work outside in anything above 80 degrees? You get burnt to a fucking crisp. Add 70%+ humidity and you start to see people dying if they aren't constantly hydrating themselves. It's brutal. It was in the high 80's on Christmas Day. I plan on moving ASAP.

Having been in the construction industry from my early youth/teens to mid/late 20's, 90's temps, let alone with humidity, can mean death.

Oh you are one of those guys...Don't do that. No one likes nitpicking adjectives.

[Knuckle]

Hey I feel for the people up north. I used to live outside of Chicago and I distinctly remember some 100+ temp days absolutely spanking my ass. That being said, our blood adapts to our environment. I think they said it takes 3 to 6 months for your blood to change consistency based on environment. That's why people in Florida bitch when its 60 degrees out. So if people factor in how our blood changes to our environment, we can all agree that fat snowbirds on vacation at disney world suffer the worst.

Especially if you are in an attic (screw residential). Go through a case of water a day and still piss yellow.

Like running air ducts? Yup. Anything on or just under the roof is fun fun at 1pm.
I mostly just did residential as a carpenter, new custom and 60+yo restoration. Hot is hot.

Ah yes, let's just forget the meaning of words because we're lazy. The battle cry of fat, low IQ Americans.

I do a lot of work outdoors and humid 90s (FL) is a different thing from semi-humid 110s (midwest). In one, you just sweat a lot and so need to drink more fluids. In the other, you feel your blood boiling and are forced make special efforts to cool your body temp down. Here's a map of heat deaths. Note that Oklahoma, which has 1/5 the population of Florida (and far fewer older people who are most at risk for heat death), has more deaths than Florida.

Either scenario is miserable.

hah, 3/4 of the deaths in Florida look like they died sunbathing on the beach. I'm where that big glob is, near death valley, record hottest place on the earth.

Either scenario is miserable.
Jus tryin to warm ya up :D

One particularly hot summer I was drinking about 2 gallons of water a day at work and still managed to get heat exhaustion a handful of times. would not recommend.

[James_Joyce]

ppl who complain about 90s temps even at 100% humidity are fucking cowards. You haven't lived harsh until your plastic rear view mirror literally liquifies from the heat of the sun and drips onto your dash. Harden up *****.

[Daywolf]

No matter what the ""Dr."" (nod wink) says, I'd much rather be in 115 degree dry heat than in "90s temps even at 100% humidity" due to the inability to sweat which is a major health risk, yet very uncomfortable. You see, in dry heat, you can push yourself much further and then before you know it you're very sick. In humidity, it's so uncomfortable, you stop long before you pass out.

I may not be a "Dr." but I am an industry certified first-aid provider due to severe occupational hazards, and heat or cold is not really a funny matter, indeed. Certainly, take precautions no matter the situation, as situations can quickly turn for the worse.

Maybe if you're a wee little pussbox you do. you've never passed out from heat exhaustion in humidity?

Pretty crazy standing there and then realizing youre on the ground with water being splashed on you.

Less likely to, yes, because you feel it before that point, it's miserable. I've been out hiking in 115 dry heat, number of times, it's bearable, actually kinda nice, until it's too late (if you don't hydrate enough).

watching this basement dweller preach his expertise on dry heat because he went hiking in it 3 times is making me cringe HARD

heatstroke is indeed crazy Pagan. Thought I was pretty much immune until my bike got chased up a hill by Harrison's mom's pit bull in 110 degree 90% humidity once. Probably would have been fine but I was juicing just a lil on performance enhancing stimulants. Still not 100% on whether the buzzard looking condors that took off right from where i collapsed were real or not.

wait a minute, is this industry certified first aid provider implying i'm a "doctor" because of teh James Joyce, B.S. signature? or did I miss something?

[Daywolf]

3 times? I live in it. A few times hotter though, but mostly strolling through palm springs at 120+. The yearly hottest it gets right here was 117, but I usually pack it in over 115. Cringe HARD? most just call it an erection, but whatever floats your boat.

[gruumsh]

Hello!!!

[Daywolf]

wait a minute, is this industry certified first aid provider implying i'm a "doctor" because of teh James Joyce, B.S. signature? or did I miss something?Oh nah was thinking of someone else actually, though yes thought that was your shtick due to the name confusion there. Not that the two of you couldn't be the same person with a different posting account haha. Oh yeah, first-aid thing, 40 hour course we even need to do this obstacle course in hazmat suits with breathers... and they turned them off half way through before you drug someone (crash test dummy) the rest of the way then do cpr on it lol. hehe that's the the easy stuff. All pretty much dealing with hostile environments, heat, cold and poison gas, explosive materials, confined areas etc.

[James_Joyce]

This industry-certified first aid provider doesn't know the difference between PhD / MD and a bachelor's degree

cringeing HARD

[Daywolf]

cringeing HARD
Solid case of priapism there, viagra overdose.

[R Flair]

You can tell who in this thread hasn't actually worked in Florida heat, going on about their hot yankee weather.

[James_Joyce]

I was claiming a Bachelor's in making nerds mad. Since that's got you calling me doc, I'll now be claiming a Ph.D in publicly embarrassing the autistic.

All this proves is that there's a lot of dipshits in California going out into the desert. People don't die of heat illness in FL because they're use to it.....aka they're not so fucking stupid to go work themselves to death.

How many of those deaths in CA are from endurance/survivalist/I'm gonna go walk in the desert like a dumbasses?

[James_Joyce]

90% of mortality from heat is old people and children anyway.* I don't think I've ever heard of a survivalist or homosexual yuppie with a fannie pack dying of heatstroke.

Seems like you're really hung up on this football-team style regional superiority contest. While it can be advantageous to affect provinciality in certain beer-chugging company, you might want to consider you are among the titled patricians of the Society of Retarded Posters when you begin to converse on one of our boards.

The South is garbage. I'm glad you guys aren't allowed to fly Confederate flags anymore. Florida and Georgia are the absolute worst.

Nah, it's just dry heat you don't feel it so bad, so dehydration and then heatstroke sneaks up on you if unaware. Humid heat just sucks, you want to stop before you get to that point. I know that many deaths on the east coast are older people and their AC's just cant deal with it, or worse yet when blackouts happen there when everyone has their AC chugging. No, survivalists and endurance athletes know how to deal with it, part of the training. It's usually runners that drop anyway, among the healthy. Running is bad for your health as it is. This is what we have death panels for :o

Cold sux too. Meh half frozen slush falling out of the sky is just nasty. I've been in 30 below quite a many times, not so bad if dressed right. Frozen snot and all, dangling from my beard hah

It only sneaks up on you the first time. After that you're able to recognize what's happening. Kind of like the second time a man starts hitting on you at a bar and you realize he isn't just being friendly.

True for anything in life.

Like when you get approached for a fight at a party/bar for the very first time and don't feel anything as he's saying hes looking to fuck you up. Just kinda "??? why is this guy talking to me and why is he mad ???" dead silence and still.

Next time it happens you actually recognize the situation and start smirking about where you are going to hit them and get a primal arousal about how bad you're going to hurt them, whereas the first time you had absolutely no feeling or emotion two ways about it.

Same could be said for your first time having sex. Circuitry has to be switched on and booted up.

that's such a good feeling.


I need to get into a fight. It's been too long :(
