Obama is speaking at my commencement and I'm doing dishes

Yeah that's what I was on about. If I'd known about those and how long I'd be here for when I first started over here, I'd have got one. But it's pointless now, given I finish in 3 weeks.

 

That will show 'em!

 

not my president

 

That was the thinking of the last tenant as well man. In the end, you are all assholes.

 

C'mon, it's basically your president. If Canada was the 51st state. It would barely be the most populous state. All of Canada would only be the biggest by like a few million people.

If you were from quebec, I might grant you a little more leeway, but not the rest of Canada.

 

No, no, no, no. Stop this at once!

 

He is from Quebec. Don't you know where Montreal is?

And California beats out Canada by a few million as it is, it'd be the second most populated state.

 

I'm the first tenant. Also, the owners of the apartment are assholes. We've had constant issues with the apartment and they actually insinuated we should pay for repairs. Do you have any idea what it's like having apartment with broken Air Conditioning where the outside air temperature is 50 degrees C?

 

I once spent a month in the Arizona desert where it can get about as hot in Dubai in the summer. It was during a drought so we had to ration water, and we lived in a ramshackle shanty built onto a mobile home, so the "house" only really had two walls. Rest of it was more or less exposed to the elements.

I feel your pain Trickster.

 

I'm 'Murican, I thought quebec was a lot smaller than it actually is.

And I totally didn't know California has grown that much. I might want to check Texas before formally accepting Canada into the union.

But those are both dry heats. Toss on some humidity and it doesn't even have to get close to that temp to fell as uncomfortable. And you can strategically dress in a dry climate where your clothes just stick to you in a humid one.

 

Yes Spartacus, master of world geography, regular 100% humidity is in fact, dry heat.

You haven't experienced heat and humidity until you've been stuck outside in 50 degrees C 100% humidity.

 

Wikipedia says Dubai's climate has around 60% humidity that time of year, which is not quite as humid as Ohio, but it's a lot more humid than I expected. I think it was fair to assume that an area near a desert should be dry. I'm very surprised.

You officially have permission to bitch about the heat from your's truly.

Oh and Arizona is definitely not humid. This, I know.

 

Actually...

The Arizona desert has monsoon season during the summer, which is why in rural parts you can find canals in the middle of the desert going under roadways. The ground is so hard and dry, that the water just sits there instead of getting absorbed, and then evaporates quickly throughout the day, leading to incredibly high humidity levels on occasion. So it wasn't consistently humid throughout the whole day, but some days were wetter than Springtime in Portland.

I suppose the closest thing I've dealt with when it comes to consistent humidity is when I take a yearly trip to Kansas City for barbecue. It can easily hit the mid 90's with 90% humidity there.

 

I'm not in Dubai. The area I'm in averages around 75-80% during July.

 

I thought you said previously that you were in Dubai?

 

During these freak monsoons, is it also super hot or just ~30C?

How long does this season last?

 

It can still be damn hot in the 100's when the day comes back around. It generally gets really overcast early one day, rains throughout the whole day, then by the next day most of that water has turned into humidity. Each individual monsoon lasts a day at the most, but they occur throughout summer.

 

No, I'm in the United Arab Emirates, which happens to contain Dubai. Dubai is about an hour to 90 minutes away from me. I'm up north near a chunk of Oman (it's split into 2 main chunks).
