weather or not.
there is one aspect of modern weather reporting that i find highly annoying. it's this 'feels like' addition to the stating of the current temperature ('39º, feels like 33º').
look - just tell me the weather. i'll decide how i want to feel about it.
meanwhile, im waiting for the natural extension of this practice: 'it's cloudy out there, but you're gonna be in a sunny mood.'
ah, the weather. it's really the only thing we all have in common. it's the best go-to for conversation when you're strapped for ideas, or when you find yourself chit-chatting with a complete stranger. it's a crucial part of life. don't tell me how to feel about it. don't rob me of my humanity.

wind. chill. factor.
you're a nut not a bean.
oh, the wind chill factor is behind this? i didnt know that, b/c for the last twenty years, i have been living in a cave, with a blindfold over my face, and earplugs in my ears.
=^..^= hisssssssss
listen cave boy, i would say i prefer if they just gave me the feels-like temp. like, it's 30 deg. but because of wind chill it's neg 8. i'm like who the f cares if it's 30 because when i get outside my proverbial balls are getting frozen off. i get mad, because the weatherman goes "it's 30 deg outside.." then i go woohoo! not that bad! then he goes "but it feels like negative 8 so hold onto those balls!" then i go, dammit.
oh yes, bean and i have always said that once you start regularly talking about the weather on dates, it's diced. beware!!
