It has some good gags. It definitely fits the whole trope like a large hand in a small glove.

Without being specific (some family is still there and it’s small enough I’m identifiable by this account), it’s near the tropic of cancer, and a pretty decent sized body of water.
On second thought, let’s avoid lemmy.nz. 'Tis a silly place.

You come over here and say that to my face, you french sneeze!
I reserve sweltering for when you can see the heat waves in the air. It is a great word. New mexico is a weird one though, being high desert, right? Ya’ll actually get a wildly cold winter, don’t you?
90+ is cute. ;) I once lived in an apartment without AC because a roommate and I were trying to get out on our own. I went up there early to start working during the summer, and the city set its record for longest period where it never (even at night) got below 90. I was working for some rich girls with horses, so the days freaking sucked, and the only relief I got was the short showers. I think we usually hit 90 during the day by february. I’ve moved away because screw all that. I can’t imagine what it’s like now as the average temperatures keep climbing.
It’s said in the same manner as a mild sarcasm. I’m not sure the word for it, but deliberate understatement that specifically plays on it being hotter than ‘warm’ is.
As far as 20/68 being chilly, to me it’s downright hellish. During the summer, we would keep the house temps around 85/30, because you’d be so used to the sweat and heat of the sun that it wasn’t too bad with a light fan… and that was in the houses lucky enough to have heating/cooling. The rest just made do with shade and designs that promoted a breeze.
Anyway, as I said, this is a hot climate’s weather terms. If you were able to keep the room temperature the same as the outside in spring or autumn, you probably aren’t in a hot climate.
Heh, this gag still makes me fondly remember when I would page through the player’s handbook looking at the weapons and armor.
As a personal thing, I’ve always detested that usage of the word big. More so than any of these ‘very’ replacements, there are so many words available to convey the meaning of that big.
Listen, I need to introduce you to any hot climate’s weather terms (done in american and rest-of-the-fucking-world-but-liberia units for funsies):
- >90/32 = hot
- >28/82 = stifling (if humid) / little warm
- >78/25 = warm
- >75/24 = nice out
- >22/72 = okay
- >70/21 = cool
- >68/20 = chilly
- >60/16 = cold
- <16/60 = freezing
You can be very cold and freezing. You can’t be very cold and not freezing. ;)
I wonder if he would actually care about photographs. If you smile and wave, he’ll probably assume you’re ‘one of the good guys.’



I’d imagine strip clubs are going to be one of the few places you won’t see these things. They don’t want private videos of inside their establishment, and they aren’t a ‘public’ place so they can refuse to let you in with them.
