The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

10F is -12C
If it got that fucking cold here I'd have moved to the tropics long ago.

Humans can be the source for different reasons. The claim that we had over 200 arsonists convicted of lighting the recent fires was horseshit spread by the BBC in England, at the time they reported it the number was actually 4. Just a small difference, but lets not get the truth in the way of a good headline. But humans cause fires for other reasons too. We've had workers with grinders start fires, we've had remnants of camp fires start bushfires, even the fact that governments wont do back burning or clearing has started fires. Damn we've even had countless bushfires that have caused loss of property started by the government workers actually doing controlled burns for clearing.

Not all fires started by humans are arson but unfortunately we do usually have quite a few every year that are. I think the figures are something like 2000 fires a year started by arsonists but most are caught before they become serious.

Last few winters I've not enjoyed at all, and I've always considered myself a winter person. It's been bone-chilling which definitely isn't normal for over here.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah but cold for you isn't -12 degrees like Tera is talking.

Human error can be dangerous, and often unstoppable if not properly managed. And even then, nature decides those cards. It happens, even by misfortune.

And yeah, it got a tiny bit cold. It got colder when I lived in Illinois. There were days where it hit -20° C.

I'm not a fan of winter. I much prefer autumn or early spring.

Mother Nature is a cruel bitch some days

Fuck if I wanted minus temps I'd live on a mountain. I can drive less than two hours from here and be amongst our best snow fields but fuck that for a joke, snow is for eskimos. We have a few mornings a year here where the temps drop under zero till about 8am, but it's not a regular thing and we don't get snow, black ice and sleet but not snow.

Strange thing is for the most part I don't feel the cold. If it's raining and blowing a gale I feel it a bit more, but until I see frost I don't really feel it. Back when I was delivering bread from 10pm -10am I still wore shorts every day of the year, never gave a shit that I drove into -5 temps.

The wind is what really picks that shit up. I hate it. I hate that I'm fair skinned too cuz that shit annoys me.

I used to like snow until I wrecked my first car in it, but thats because I'm not used to snow. (Actually it was via Black Ice, but snow was also partially involved.)

Fuck the snow, man. Nature is a cruel bitch indeed.

Fuck minus degree weather. I worked many 2 to 3 degree early mornings last winter and yeah, that was enough for me.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I hate the wind too, especially at home. Most of our really strong winds come from the west and our house faces west and is on a hill so the wind slams the crap out of this place. The garage door bangs constantly, the windows rattle, the roof creaks, it's just fucking annoying. Next house I build will be in a hole

 

[CiG]

Yeah I hate the wind too, especially at home.

Curry farts are hell.

 

[Slammed]

Nah, it's like everything, you build up an immunity to things if you have them often enough. 12 curries a day and you too could train your immune system.

I dont mind winter, but there was one brutal winter we had a year or two back where there was a couple nights of -35 C° and that was rough to be outside in. Naturally, I was out walking cause I'm a savage.

 

[Slammed]

At minus 35 even the brass monkey is holding them in place.

You fucking snow monkeys over there are mental.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

-35°C qualifies as a brutal winter to you? Phh. In my hometown we had temps as low as -50°C.

 

[Slammed]

Sounds like a dick swinging contest is starting, although at those temps shrinkage must be a real bitch.

 

[The Butt]

in -50 I'd be staying inside.

In those nights of -35 there was a Pokemon event so I was out walking lmao. Got frostbite through my gloves but worth it.

 

[Sophii]

Just got home from work. My crew's foreman has me climbing more and more to get better practice and he had me limb walk out on a lead.

Lemme tell ya; limb walking feels like an aerial CBT.

 

[Slammed]

Good stuff! You'll be a regular Tarzan in no time!

 

[Sophii]

I got some fucking massive blisters pn my hands from the rope usage. I put peroxide on it and I wanted to fucking scream. But man, it was a damn good day. I'm happy someone is willing to work with me on how to do this shit.
