Me in Houston right now as CenterPoint Energy fails to restore our power. 1.3 million people still without power and it’s like 95 and feels like 105.

Run a generator? I mean, I assume that they’re gonna have it back in a few days at most.
- It’s been 3 days and they are staying it will be “several more days”
- I don’t have a generator.
- I don’t have money for a generator.
- There are no generators to buy, as they have already been bought.
- Even if I had one, it’s pretty hard to find any gas.
- Fuck you. It’s 105 out with heat advisories and 1.2 million people still don’t have power.
As a scandinavian, this is me waiting to go home every time I visit the Houston office.
Enjoy it while you can, it’s only going to get hotter in the years to come.
Meanwhile it’s 69 degrees in San Francisco right now.
(I’m stuck in New York where “87 feels like 95”.)
Same here… I work in a factory in NY and it’s usually like 2-5° hotter in the factory than outside… With this humidity it’s absolutely atrocious working conditions.
Thanks to the SCOTUS we now have to rely on them to clarify laws like the law in NY that says “all factories must maintain reasonable temperature and humidity.”
…that’s it. There’s no definition to “reasonable” in that law. It’s exactly the kind of situation they dumped Chevron Deference for. Now they get to protect corporations even more…
Don’t worry, soon the fall will to have scorching temperatures
