1. When it is 110 degrees outside, seek shelter. The guy blowing gas in a microphone, doesn't care, about your health.
We tried that kind of thing back in the 60s and 70s, with rock concerts. It didn't work well for a lot people then, either
2. Never vote for a person who would let you die, just so they can be heard.
3. Don't ride out hurricanes or tornadoes. EVER.
4. 110 degrees, is hot, even in Arizona. Water simmers at about 180 degrees. Never stand in temps that are 2/3 of water simmering.
Don't believe me? Stick your finger in simmering water.
Old Guy out , semi sarcastically, this evening.

(12,654 posts)Ratios dont make sense on a scale without a natural zero. Zero in Fahrenheit or Celsius is arbitrary. 120 is not 2/3 of the way to 180 (simmering). If it was, it should be true on any scale. 120F is about 49 C and 180F is about 82C. 120 inches or pounds or dollars is 2/3 of the way to 180 inches or pounds or dollars because there is a natural zero in those units.
