Let’s not lie. You’d look good wearing a burlap sack with a piece of string as a belt. I doubt you can make any fashion look bad.

Beat me to it.

I concur.
Cali is the shisnik by all means!

Except......

Heck, here in Oklahoma the lakes get pretty warm, warm enough that I've got pretty hot in my fishing tube. Even wearing a wet boonie hat.

On another note, Hollywood is like a bowl of cereal.
It's full of fruits, nuts and flakes lol.

Doesn't really seem like there's much advantage to having a pool in California if you can only use it in the spring and fall.

That's how my home is livable in 120F without air conditioning. It cools my upper story as well as occluding my roof's FLIR sig. Swimming is as simple as letting it run to the same coils over night. The electric cost is only required to charge the roof, the drop keeps the water running and the pump drops to idle after charging.

I've been watching the air tankers on flightradar24. They have been running all day going from fire to fire to try to control fires started by lightning last night and this morning. Butte Cal Fire said there were 29 fires from strikes just in Butte County.

A 47-year-old man kept getting drunk from alcohol produced in his own gut. Doctors cured him with a poop transplant.

Auto-brewery syndrome is an illness where a person's body produces alcohol inside their gut, which can lead to drunkenness without consuming alcohol.

Morning

Do you know much about California? Like...beyond the fact that we have hollyweird and deserts?

In the winter, I can go snowboarding in the morning, take a mountain bike ride in the middle of the day, and go swimming in the ocean in the evening.

All in the same day, all appropriate temperatures for each activity.

If I'm being honest, no. I'd like to go to Coachella and maybe San Francisco if I was passing through, but California isn't a bucket list destination for me.

you don't have air conditioning? I've never heard of a system like that, is that what most folks run in the warmer areas.

I do have air conditioning. I just don't want to run it as it's extremely expensive. I engineered the design and then acted as the general contractor for the build, doing what I consider sensitive parts of it myself. All the inside work was mine. I do not want anyone knowing I grow.

In my area most of us supplement our A/C with a swamp cooler. Except for the very hottest days (118 and over) I can get by with a swamp cooler.

Yeah, Cali ain’t too special...lol

 

[Metasynth]

And this is my crappy California community where I live...

Damn are you ever handy lol. I've heard you and a few others here talking about swamp coolers, but I never really understood what they were. We're blessed with 12.5¢/kWh here. And they've removed time of day price surcharge since the start of covid so our power bill has gone down a bit.
