I've heard so many right wingers claim that Californians aren't real americans, and yet here they are trying to shoot their way out of the consequences of large scale systemic failures.

It's still the south just without the foghorn leghorn accent.
Awesome pfp. is that the moment his wife defied him and went out in public fully clothed?
Unfortunately California is flipped. Which sucks because NorCal has awesome forests. Well for now at any rate.
Maybe you shouldn't live in a desert that's on a massive deadly fault line then.
There's more water in SoCal than Central Valley. And we can always Solar->Desalination. Unlike the poor bastards in Phoenix who are just going to run out in a few years.
What? Source that SoCal has more than the San Joaquin…unless you mean they’ve already pumped way too much water out of the valley. Hell, there’s water piped from the Valley to L.A., so if SoCal has that much water they shouldn’t need Valley water?
No, I got my geography screwed up. So I'll just describe it from the map. There's a line of hills/mountains east of LA and SD that scrape water out of the sky for the coast. On the East side it's much drier but they've got farms all through there and a couple towns.
I really don’t know where you’re getting your info. I grew up in CA and there’s no way SoCal gets more water of any kind unless it’s piped in. This precip map also proves that. The Sierras and Northern California get way more rain/snow than the San Gabriel or Bernardino mountains “scrape” out of the sky. The Sierras are a huge range compared to them, and when they do get snow, that water feeds into the lakes and rivers in the Valley. The precipitation map clearly shows SoCal can’t match any precipitation further up the state past Tehachapi.
Yeah I was thinking about LA and SD compared to the area directly east of them. Which it strikes me now that both areas are SoCal.
Kerbal players, knowing the delta-v to approach the sun: ... (completely unimpressed-face at a bullet flopping into the ground less than a km away)
And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

Same here in Finland. Never could have I imagined that it's September and +26 outside!
Fucking 33C today here in germany. I hope every climate change denier has to spend a week doing manual labor in this insanity
I just looked at Phoenix and the night time low is 32 C. High is 44.
My condolences... do you guys like, work at night? 44C sounds completely intolerable to me lol
Nope. Just keep pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere by running our air conditioners 24/7. I'm sure it'll be fine...
A few days ago it was a refreshing 8° in Trondheim/Norway, now it's 22°.

Is SoCal short for Southern California or does it have to do with Southern Canada? I am from the rest of the world and I'm not familiar with these whatchacallits.
[Edit] Well probably not Canada because there's no L in that. I'm tired I guess.
As a Canadian, I'm piping in to say that no, they probably don't mean me
Also as a Canadian, I started the day with shorts but switched to pants before I left the house this evening and am wondering if I'll need to switch the thermostat to heat instead of cool (because for some reason it can't handle just having a range and heating or cooling as necessary to keep it within that range).
I was thinking more that the whole pointing a pistol at the sun is awful fucking American
Yeah, and it wouldn't be a pistol if it was here. Shotgun or rifle maybe, but not a pistol.
Most of our gun violence is actually pistols, but they're certainly not legally owned
Honestly, in my neck of SoCal, it's the humidity as much as the heat. I keep going to bed in 80-90% humidity and waking up wet.
Are you implying those two things are related?
Well I'm not pissing myself, so...
Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had
And now it's playing on a loop in my head. I'm not even mad about it.
The entire Southwest. Arizona has had over 100 days in a row of 100+ temperatures.
We're ready for the orbital solar power shade.
Even the Saguaros are too hot.
Can you imagine how bad it would be if people just took there guns and fired at the sun? It would be raining bullets
“Shots fired, into the sky, are now returning, where the fuck will you hide?”
Rise Against — Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
I used to listen to Rise Against a lot when I was younger. I pivoted to other genres since then, but reading their lyrics again was super nostalgic. Thank you.
They would be fighting in the shad... wait, wrong meme.
Can confirm. AAAAAAAAAAAAA (peaked 39c today)
It was ridiculous today. The humidity suckkkkkeeed
112 AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just got back from Southeast Asia, I'll take this any day.
