No thanks - very ready for a bit of cooling please.
Chris Bianchi@bianchiweather.bsky.social · 3d agoWow: 104° so far in Boulder ties their hottest day on record (Boulder Airport). Hottest day since July 11, 1954. Also hit 104° in Boulder on June 23, 1954. And still time to break that record... #COwx
Whatever is going on, it feels *hot* today. Much worse than the reported 93F. Might need to switch to Celsius for a while to cool off.
BoulderCAST Weather 🏔️⛈️@bouldercast.com · 4d agoA dominant ridge over the Desert drives temps to 100° today and Monday, threatening daily records up and down the Front Range. A significant cooldown comes Tuesday, but there's a catch... thick smoke! This & more in our latest *Premium* discussion: bouldercast.com/bouldercast-... #COwx #denver
This thread makes me very happy and nerdy too.
Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social · 5d agoIf you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …
So sorry to hear about Glen Hansard this morning. 56 (ahem) is way too young to die. The Frames were a great band. "Falling Slowly" a lovely song. His duets with Eddie Vedder were just amazing. Be careful out there folks. www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

Reminds me how we did all these clever algos in Microsoft search like “emails about dogs in Asia” Turns out just doing the keywords in date order always worked better.

I suspect this is the year the wheels come off for the 49ers. Tough division and their team has a lot of miles on it. Coach is literally banged up but more importantly seems like he needs or wants a clean slate. 6 wins maybe? Also that substation near the training facility :-)

I started the day rooting for Argentina. But man, that was some ugly rassling. They knew they couldn’t run with Spain so they broke out the tire irons. Congrats to Spain!

Thrilled to see *anything* remotely positive from this Congress. Yes, yes, there are bigger issues. And fine Standard is probably better. But the bar is low and I’ll take not changing the clock twice each year.

Smoke clears out of Boulder and wham, fire moves in. Fire fighters are on the scene and the rain squall surely helped. Up above the paraglider launch.
Filed under “things that make sense but I wish didn’t happen anyway”. Rational discussion about F1 finishing during a Safety Car which is just boring but probably better than chaos.

Welp, that was a butt-kicking for sure. Glad to see the USMNT make it that far. Wish they had played better. Kudos to Belgium. Here’s to rooting for whoever is playing more exciting soccer in the coming matches.

In Boulder it's damned if you do, damned if you don't - trees are great for cooling and shade but also a wildfire hazard. www.eurekalert.org/news-release...
European cities short on shade as heat bites
New analysis of 5.5 million buildings shows 84% fall short of tree canopy levels required for meaningful cooling.
