104F is 40C, so quite nice honestly.

A mere 73 degrees here right now but it has rained twice a day for a month so you could drown in the humidity. Still nicer

That’s what you get for living in/near that weird place.

We usually get at least one week in the 102-104 range. It’ s not so bad so long as you don’t have to be out in it all day. The nice thing is of course that being a desert its dry and it cools down at night.

I’d go there even if I had to quarantine for two weeks. I took my son to the doctor yesterday, and I had to fill out a covid form. One question was, “Have you recently been to a region where there is a covid outbreak?” I live in TX, so yeah.

The problem now is that this sort of heat, which is normal for August, is coming earlier and lasting longer.

But it’s a dry heat. Maybe it will help kill your coronavirus.

June was really hot in F in la nd. Several temperature record s were made. But the same cannot be said about July. It has been quite cold and there has been a lot of rain (which is actually very normal) .

I don’t believe that. Texas is intentionally inhospitable, it doesn’t want anyone on it’s lawn.

Purifier’s speech before he walks out to his death is one of my favorite scenes in that movie.

We will have lower temps, but the humidity will be 90% or higher all week. Then it’s going to rain.

I came for grad school. I was going to go to Michigan, but Rice offered to pay my tuition, which made it kind of a no brainer. 

DipodomysDeserti > ttyymmnn 07/09/2020 at 10:18

Yeah, that theory was disproven pretty handily. We’ve had an exceptionally hot summer so far and no rain in the last few months.

I wondered at the time how sincere he was about the Lord Marshall’s offer. I suspect Purifier was, but the Lord Marshall wasn’t .  

ttyymmnn > user314 07/09/2020 at 10:25

Well, he was a Furyan, which is why he hoped Riddick would ignore his warning and go kill the Lord Marshall.

I really like that movie, and will watch it every time it shows up on TV. I know the diehard Riddick fans don’t like it, but I prefer it to the other two, which are just horror movies a la Alien. The look of the film is fantastic.

I agree with you there - also it’s a good movie overall.

I actually miss DFW weather...

I miss DFW. Used to go up there and take picture of airplanes. I haven’t been on a photo outing to the airport in more than a year. 

user314 > ttyymmnn 07/09/2020 at 10:43

Yup. Only real rough spot is the sequence after Riddick escapes the Quasi-Dead and is captured by Toombs. The CGI background and Necro ship look like the were from a half-finished budget video game.

I’ll have to go back and look. That scene never really bothered me, but maybe I just wasn’t paying attention.  I’ve also never watched all of Pitch Black, so I’m not really sure about Riddick’s relationship with the Imam. I just know they were together in that film.

What movie?

user314 > ttyymmnn 07/09/2020 at 10:59

You called it earlier, Pitch Black is very much Alien to Chronicle’ s Aliens. I’d say Riddick, strangely enough, is closer to Alien4 than 3, but YMMV.

Here’s my area:

Still too hot for my taste most days, but at least it’s not scorching like recent years have been.

The Chronicles of Riddick. It’s the middle movie in a Vin Diesel trilogy where the first and third are basically horror movies, but the middle one is about defeating an evil half-dead army bent on universe domination.

It sounds corny as hell (and is at some parts) but it has a solid cast and is actually a pretty good watch. Has Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Thandie Newton, Colm Feore and Judy Dench among many others.  It’s an enjoyable watch for a movie from the mid-00s.

I’m 33 and we’ve been in a “ drought” for twenty seven or so  years. They’re starting to think the first half of the twentieth century was just a very wet period for the Sonoran Desert.

The airport is the worst because you walk out into the covered parking garage, which becomes an oven by mid June.

Y ou can try but t hey might leave for fancier accommodations after 15 minutes. My house is full of treasures (junk).

We walked out from the lower level to catch a rental car shuttle.

From 65 degrees inside to seemingly 130 degrees outside...

Autumn for us is in late November. It’s usually about 80 degrees on Halloween.

Weather on Halloween in Pittsburgh is always a crapshoot. One year it’ll be in the 80s, the next it’ll be snowing.

 Can I skip the other two and just watch this one? I recently watched dune and I think it's one of my favorite movies ever, in spite of how bad it is.

jminer > Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo 07/09/2020 at 15:48

Yeah, there’s a tiny bit of background you’ll miss if you don’t watch the first one (pitch black ) but basically all you need to know is that Vin Diesels character has a history with saving people from monsters on a planet without light and also is regularly hunted by bounty hunters (called merc’s in this universe).  

I haven’t watched Dune in probably 10 years, I did watch Soylent Green again recently and it held up better than I expected in my mind .

I’ve hardly felt the delta breeze so far this summer.
