We thought it would be a nice idea to not just post news, but also help share some human element directly with discussion topics every week or so.

So, first topic of the week: How are you handling the weather? The northern hemisphere is being scorched, many places being over 40 °C for weeks, or even over 50. (50 °C = 122 °F.)

Humans have survived some ice ages and cold periods, but we aren’t well biologically equipped to handle heat for long periods.

    I’m in the middle of Europe and it’s not bad, the summer is actually pretty nice for my bad back that screams whenever it’s cold. At most we had 38 I think, which is manageable. Now it’s been raining for 2 days, and the random pressure variations are less to my liking.

    On the hotter days it’s just important to bring water everywhere and keep in the shadows wherever possible. I imagine it gets difficult in areas where the temps are much higher.
