Check out 1955, not too long after that we were told an Ice Age was coming.

*in more ways than one:
At the Salt Mine, one of the protected species has now decided they are a victim of
harassment. It never fucking ends. This is going to blow up today. Yippee.
One of the things I find in corporate America with all the workplace training and people
"feeling" offended or a victim is that it creates a major trust and communication issue.
Be careful of what you say and to whom you say it.
Always questioning if a statement you made to someone will be used against you if
they decide to have a hair across their ass.
Trying to have a confidential discussion that concerns relevant topics then
walking away wondering if you maybe shouldn't have said this or that.
Instead of focusing on getting the job done you have to be concerned with every word that
comes out of your mouth and the person those words are said to.
Fucked up.
Really
Fucked up.
I'll be around........
I agree completely with the Salt Mine comments. The "victims" don't understand that they are further alienating themselves because nobody "normal" wants to socialize with a person who is looking for the next reason to be offended. Nothing but a spiral downward in life. There only social interactions end up being with other "wokes" complaining about what normal people say. No wonder they are so angry. What a pitiful life. We would be better off if we moved them all out of the US and to Guam (and have the island tip over). If you don't know what I am talking about; look it up. Spoken by a Dem.
ReplyDeleteYour too nice Irish. If he failed to get to work many times over a month or so he/she/it would be fired and that issue corrected.
ReplyDeleteNice folks bite their tongue and end up in the gulag, courtesy of the "offended Ones".
Nine above 90 degrees, possibly 13 days in total?

Re: the record temperature in Portsmouth. Ordinarily, when a temperature record gets changed that much (7 degrees) something else is going on. The environment around the thermometer changed, or they moved it.
ReplyDeleteThose standard weather monitoring stations are supposed to be in a whitewashed (not painted) wooden box with ventilation slats, in a grass field something like 30 feet from the nearest blacktop. It's amazing how many have had a parking lot put near them, or an air conditioner's hot exhaust or other crap like that.
Bermuda highs.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I remember them well.
They used to call it "Valuing Differences" back in the day. *0's version of Dieversity Training. So glad I'm retired. I'd be getting fired every other day.

We have a mask nazi at work. He was berating people because of slippage, or not wearing it alone in an office. A few comments to the senior about "hostile work environment", and he got the last warning a few weeks ago. Next time, he's out.
ReplyDeleteI hold temperature readings in contempt. Quite a while back, there was an effort to take pictures of official weather stations. They found them on building roofs near air conditioner exhausts, near a taxi way behind corporate jets, and other places that were skewed by heat islands like asphalt and concrete. I don't think that has been addressed very well to this day. If I take the outside air temp 3 feet from a campfire, that isn't likely to be accurate. And overstatement of temps, storms, etc is just IPCC inspired propaganda.

ReplyDeleteA temperature of 121° in the Los Angeles area that day set an all time record It was also 133° in a place only 266.7 miles NE of Los Angels called Furnace Creek (An NOAA tourist trap/weather station in Death Valley where you can take a pic of yourself in front of a big digital thermometer)
Just Google Furnace Creek or look it up on AccuWeather
Once had an innocuous comment deliberately misconstrued by a protected class member, who was without question a closet racist in an attempt to damage me, everyone knew it was BS so nothing came of it,
ReplyDeleteI learned from.that and avoided dealing with her if at all possible, and then only in a public area, or with someone else around and I kept my verbal interaction to the absolute minimum. In addition to my protecting myself I wanted her to know that I knew that she was a racist snake looking to collect scalps, and that I wasn't going to be onee.
That was 20 years ago, today things would probably be different
1979. NASA Tracking station. 8 high ranking males had 8 phony jobs made up for wives or daughters. All 8 did what little they had to do by 10 AM and spent the rest of the day in the break room, gossiping.
ReplyDeleteI go to the head shed and make a cost saving suggestion: fire everybody who Stewart's their lunch break at 10. Replace them with one person.
Guess who became the sole topic of gossip, until...
Every one of them got fired when their sugar daddy moved on, and not one got replaced. They did hire one woman, who did all 8 jobs
too hot, eh?
ReplyDeletewait 'til next winter when it gets stuck to he park bench
Just sent you a 'it's hot down here too' email. Welcome to corporate rot.
ReplyDeleteSalt mine. Sounds pretty much like the days of Affirmative Action. Most honkies learned to just not say anything that wasn't in answer to a direct work related question. Avoided blacks and even whites, they might be playing the game. Fun work environment and didn't do the blacks any good at all.
ReplyDeleteIn San Antonio, we're laughing.
ReplyDeleteYep, even the weather has been weaponized to scare ya.....The Grand Solar Minimum is a comin' the trough is scheduled for about 2030-2040. Can't predict how cool it will be, but if you'd like to know the chance of mini ice age, check the Mauder Minimum circa 1680-1720...
ReplyDeleteOh didn't mean to scare ya with some facts....
For everyone not in the USA, 109F is a mere 42C. Toasty but not baking.😊
ReplyDeleteCompared to down here in Oz anyway.
As for the salt mines, I know that all too well. I quit my job 1.5 years ago and effectively took an early retirement. I believe, given all that's happening and about to, I won't make retirement age so may as well enjoy it all now. I think I made the right choice.
Reasons for quitting: dickhead boss, hypocritical, inconsistent, no ability to understand people, human nature or the real world. Forced to sell badly made products from a lying inept manufacturer. I just couldn't put up with the lack of integrity and professionalism any more. No job is worth a mental breakdown.
I've had very good jobs and outstanding bosses but this guy was on Fantasy Island.
No...well shot of the place.
I took an "early retirement" myself about six months ago (I turned 60). Figure this may be my only chance to enjoy a little of what I saved. So damned glad to be away from the idiots that controlled my income. If I timed it right, I'll run out of cash just about the time it becomes totally worthless.
DeleteCheck out the "extreme hot weather" over a hundred years ago, around the beginnings of the 1900's!
ReplyDeleteNot much has changed, except for the reporting of fake or inflated weather events.
I hear ya', FI. I'm on the western side of New Hampshire, and we get the same WMUR weather hype here. It's New England, and the weather will change in an hour or a few days.
ReplyDeleteAs to the Salt Mine, I've been there too, albeit quite a few years ago when things were much more reasonable. At least a mere unfounded accusation wasn't a death sentence. And these morons wonder why they have no friends except through the 'puter screen.
So, yesterday, my thermo indicated 107 at about 2PM The two previous days the high was 104 both days. The thermo is situated under my deck mounted to what was a metal can that I cut lengthwise then folded out tabs to mount the can to a beam under the deck in the shade. The can provides for some air circulation around the thermo. As I live in a townhouse style condo. There's nowhere else that I can mount the wireless sending unit where it won't be observed by some unscrupulous person who will screw with it (the one neighbor in the townhouse who's an asshole). So the readings are probably overstated by five or so degrees. I did go out on the deck yesterday for a couple minutes to check on a solar powered phone charger that I recently purchased and it was damn hot out there.
ReplyDeleteWas 112 at our place in the Pacific North West on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteDown to 75 today. Thank God.
