That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard. It’s nice and hot in Vegas in August. Alaska? At best it’s fucking 50F, that’s deeply uncomfortable. Walking around in that feels like I’m dying inside. Also, it’s a goddamn convention not a business meeting. People want to drink, watch some shows, gamble a little bit, walk around on the strip. Have a good time in general. What the fuck are you gonna do in Alaska?
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago> It’s nice and hot in Vegas in August A high of 40C / 104F is not generally considered "nice".
- huytersd 3y agoThat’s subjective. I love being in 100F weather. Makes me feel alive.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoOne's personal opinion on 40C of dry heat may vary subjectively, that is true. But that is beside the point; is it "generally considered nice" ? - emphasis added to the words that I chose with care above. It is not.
- huytersd 3y agoWell, tropical beaches are generally considered nice and those approach 100F pretty much around the year.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago> tropical beaches approach 100F pretty much around the year. Checking climate for Barbados, I rate that as factually incorrect. And of little relevance.
- huytersd 3y agoThe highs get above 90F in August which is approaching 100F. I can also think of lots of popular beaches in Mexico that do get above 100. It’s very relevant because that’s what qualifies my “considered generally nice” statement.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoAnd 40C is _over_ 100F. Your useless pedantry about beaches is becoming boring now.
- huytersd 3y agoHow is it pedantry if it directly addresses your concern in a very valid way? I literally pointed out that beaches in Mexico are _above_ 40C
