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.

    Here in Kentucky the weather has been nicer! Over the past few weeks we encountered some intense storms, made worse for me because of a recent surgery that put titanium in my femur. Comparatively, this warmer weather has been aiding the recovery. At the same time, if I’m getting sweaty on my measly .2km walks, I can’t imagine how awful it must be for those exposed to it longer.
