Here’s a YouTube video that explains it too…

So from my limited understanding it would have to be really hot and humid to get a wet-bulb reading of 95°. On the National Weather Service Heat Index, at 80% humidity 95° feels like 136°

Not to panic though. We still have time but I really think it’s up to our youth to take control. Politically and environmentally. Trump just proposed to cut billions of dollars to NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Energy Department, AND the National Cancer Institute. These old rich bastards probably won’t even be alive when it goes down so they don’t care.

What I did not count on was a typhoon (Morakot) keeping humidity in the 95-99% range.

I had to sit down every minute I walked, even under a cloudy sky. It’s like trying to suck air through a towel soaked in bathwater. I was pouring sweat and it wasn’t evaporating at all because the air was saturated, which is the point of wet bulb temperature readings: if there’s no evaporation, sweating doesn’t cool you. At that temperature, neither does water; everything you drink is the same temperature you are. Staying still, not exerting yourself at all, only keeps it from getting worse; it does not get better. And the environment I was in only went to body temperature and cooled off to the high eighties (30°C) at night: as long as I didn’t move I’d be fine. We also had the privilege of functional technology, iced drinks: in a brownout that’s not an option.

They wanted to give the Bucharest

“check upstream” yeah the drip bag is there and it’s open what do you-

“drive blocked” what the fuck does that even mean

wired: The idea that soft-spoken, shy, and soft MCs aren’t well-written is iffy because it implies that only sassy, confident, and assertive MCs (and female protagonists in general) are well-written. It promotes a standard that says MC can only be a good character if she fits that framework. This notion alienates the more reserved MCs and pits them against the more confident ones and ultimately creates this binary that divides female protagonists into “good, strong MCs” and “bad, weak MCs” when in reality, all MCs have their own personal strengths. In other words, the measurement of how well-written a female character is does not depend on their sass and confidence.

A lot of times the doormat mc will turn a lot of people off because it’s fitting an ideal for men. Shy and reserved mc’s need to be written with nuance so that they’re actual people and not just something that feels male gazey and/or a societal expectation.

And the thing is, the exact opposite mc is annoying too for the exact same reasons; you can’t just write a sassy character that talks back and that’s it…..like that’s still fitting into patriarchal nonsense because it’s still not understanding women; its a caricature instead of a actual person. I do think that this can initially feel like progress in a world that tells us women to be shy and demure and to know our place, but after a while you start to see how shallow it really is.
