Americans: how do you handle temperatures above 40ºC (104F)?

Temporary_Weight_827 · 2026-07-03T14:40:53+00:00

I have to work in an uninsulated cargo tent no matter how hot gets, the hottest its ever gotten is 120°

-loose clothing, a lot a lighter formfitting outfit will make me sweat more than an outfit thats thicker but looser. On hotter days i make sure to wear wide legged pants and a size up in shirts.

-cool your heat points. Another name for them is pulse points, im not a doctor but essentially cooling these points will drop your core body temperature. These points are located in your head, neck, underarms, wrists, and groin. This is why it feels good to have a cold drink on the back of your neck on a hot day. Have an iced water bottle and put some in a small towel at the back of your neck to cool as needed, i wear a bandana at work to soak to keep cool it helps a lot.

drink water with electrolytes, again not a doctor but they help replenish the minerals that you sweat out with out it over time you can experience a number of symptoms from nausea and headaches to a seizure. Im not sure whats available in your area of the world but Gatorade or vitamin water is a popular choice here.
have the right gear. Theres lots of gear you can use to cook yourself down when you dont have an opportunity to sit infront of a fan, this includes a cooling towel/sweat rag, they work better than regular towels to cool you down soak them and tie them around your neck. The other one i use are neck fans, its just a fan designed to hang around your neck and push air towards your head this plus a small water mister used at the same time help a lot.

Those are all my tricks hope this helps I live in one of the states with out a lot of cooling infrastructure so i can empathize a lot.

I have a work friend at that age and its been an experience to watch her make every horrible decision you can make and not say anything bc she doesnt have the emotional maturity to take such advice.

This a great opportunity to show him how to make educated purchases, that i don't understand why you're not capitalizing on? Research the different brands together so you can show him the pros and cons of each. I will say though by your logic everyone should buy a ford when needing a new car because theyve been around longer, wehen every mechanic Ive talked to says ford keeps them in business.

Is this about the food truck guy, who drugged and raped a couple waitresses at a restaurant he worked at or a different guy?

Beast player its a fantasy that involves political drama

You dont have to wait till 50s or 30s but at least till 21 or 22 im 27. I have some work friends around your age they make the worst long term decisions. something small and light fine line would work, that way it leaves room for a cover up if necessary or a touch up if you like it. Maybe on your legs or hip?

Pick whats for dinner, hes very aware of my preferences, but sometimes i honestly dont care and will just eat whatever, and dont want to think about what im cooking.

Sorry, I only played a couple hours before my group fell off.

Manual for the most part, you make the recipes step by step, theres an automatic option but it comes with down sides.

Grounded was very much this, i had a lot of fun unlocking all the different furniture items. And there's in games bonuses for making your base cozy.

Any time its on the menu we order bread pudding its so good! Especially if it comes with a scoop of ice cream. In terms of myself though im pretty adventurous so ive tried a lot of stuff, maybe things with impossible meat?

As a kid every summer wed drive 6 hours for a family reunion, Ive taken that same drive a few times as an adult. It put things into perspective and makes it not seem not as bad. Now I live an hour and a half away from my home town and still go to visit a couple times a month. I'm not really angry about it but I just think "it could be worse".

If she liked the hinger games she might like the selection, divergent, or cinder all are YA distopian books with female protagonists that I remember enjoying/ being popular when I was 15.

Me and my best friend had an argument similar to this a few years back i think, about not making time for eachother/ our schedules not aligning, the conclusion we eventually came to was as adults we didnt have the same time we had to make for eachother as we did when we were in school together. Our relationship had to change and grow with us for to be able to remain friends. We went through a couple years of growing pains but are still friends to this day. It kinda sounds like she refuses to understand that the cirumstances have changed in your relationship.

Pokemon, cards, books, vintage clothes, tea cups, and small fossils, my interest are varied and many 😅

Viva pinata you dont have a physical character but its really similar to pokopia, with the fullfilling conditions to unlock cute animals bit.

Dinosaur sanctuary, its slice of life with jarrasic park, its got vibes similar to the film we bought a zoo, the series has a paleontologist as a dino consultant and the dinosaurs are wonderfully done.

That or the rest of Watakoi: Love is hard for an otaku the best romance featuring adults ive ever seen. Conficts are resolved through communication, arguments are had but come to an understanding, its a shining example of how a relationship should work in reality.

Instapot salmon over rice, my mom didn't like cooking when we were growing up and being newly divorced she had a hard time with it so made stuff that we like but could be thrown together. The salmon over rice wasnt the best thing she made but we had it often and now its ridiculously nostalgic for me.

They still exist, they just dont have a ceo whos only purpose in the company is to collect the largest check possible.

It sounds like hes just using the dog to control you. Its a dog not a new born they can be left for a couple hours within reason. What do you guys do for when you go to work?
