#la weather

[wiproaringreading]

I have the craziest luck with the random word BPC... I got novel?!

I would never lie to you.

This my novel-est (newest... huh? huh? 👀 eh?) purchase, L. A. Weather.

[mood2you]

LA Weather has 12 chapters divided into smaller bits. It's about a couple taking 1 year trying not to divorce. The smaller bits are various days, dated.

Guys sometimes I joke about the 9-1-1 Christmas elf and then remember I have literally worked as a Christmas elf for two years in a row (and counting probably). I need to start telling potentially gay people their families are beautiful.

A new record: temperatures are so high, that yesterday Gavarda (a town in the Valencian Country) registered the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe in January: 30.7°C (87.26°F). This would usually be the expected temperature in early May. The previous record was set in 2021 (29.8°C in Alacant). We are record after record, and it's not good.

This adds on the drought that the Catalan Countries have been suffering for 3 years. We have water use restrictions and many farmers have lost the harvests for months because they're not allowed to water the fields. And there's no prospect for generous rain any time soon. Experts have been warning that for every degree Celsius that temperatures rise in the Mediterranean region, annual rain will reduce by 4%, and since we're a region that is already naturally prone to summer droughts, this will mean 20% less water resources.

The Mediterranean region is one of the places in the Earth that heats the most because of climate change. There will be 40% more days with extreme heat (days with temperatures higher than 35°C=95°F), which will have effects on health, particularly on open-air workers, and will suppose a 17% decrease in agriculture produce. That is, without counting rising sea levels.

The Mediterranean region is inhabited by 400-500 million people, out of which 150 million live on the coast. Experts calculate that the sea will have risen 1 meter (it's not out of the question that it might have risen even more if polluting emissions aren't reduced) by the end of the century. Considering that 37% Mediterranean coast is very low, on sea level, this means that this rise of the Mediterranean sea will put about 42 million people in extreme danger. One of the first victims will be (and is already suffering the early effects) the Delta of the Ebro river, a mostly-agricultural area in the South of Catalonia which is also a Biosphere reserve due to its great biodiversity.

And some people still say climate change isn't real 🤦

Spice tolerance ranking because I cannn

Pesci and Formaggio. Pesci doesn’t really do anything too devious with it when he gets to cook but Formaggio is “La Demone delle spezia” (as dubbed by the weaker La squadra members who can’t handle crushed red pepper)

Melone. He enjoys his fair share. Famously one time he ate a habanero on a dare and only got SLIGHTLY red

Ghiaccio. Spent like a year carrying a bottle of crushed red pepper flakes on him because people kept assuming he had a low spice tolerance

Illuso. Nothing special, he’s just not that big of a spice guy

Risotto. He cannot have anything more than a mild sauce packet from Taco Bell before entering a coughing fit. He was almost hospitalized by Formaggio making tacos one night and putting jalapeño slices in the taco

Prosciutto. He WAS HOSPITALIZED BY TACOS. He has the constitution of a Victorian child ailed with consumption. He couldn’t do it if he TRIED. Seriously almost died from Formaggio’s cooking. It wasn’t even that much. Pesci’s one thing he can hold over him

This one is really really good i dont even wanna touch it- very canon

i love Pesci and Formaggio tying- but i can see the difference being Pesci cheats and drinks however much milk it takes for him to get through it, Forma is just unaffected. The scariest this man can get.

while i 1000 percent believe it has been twisted to suit a leftist agenda, the people who believe climate change is completely fake are legitimately fucking braindead

Lee Jae Wook the versatile actor that you are ✨

[noble-oc-atomics]

I think I should rename this blog ode to Chrome. I've always associated this song with Felix. He's a character who has never had a home, and never known his parents. He's a character who is always looking for somewhere to belong, and yet, somehow maintains some naivety.

You could sum up his character with the word 'defeat'

"I don't know euphoria

Would like to meet her someday

C'est la vie

I don't feel hysteria

She leaves me lonely

C'est la, c'est la vie

C'est la vie"
