For the Australians

Nice pix Hal! I think super cold probably has hot weather beat in terms of overall inconvenience, however our bushfires are a bit of an equalizer. That can be pretty scary shit.

Btw the cricket can do one so fuck off

I've been trying to politely say that temperatures below -30 can be a lot more than an inconvenience I think it may be falling on deaf ears. Since that environment often kills cars, you have to imagine walking somewhere in it to understand the potential danger. 30 minutes is a long time and could hurt a person.

And looking at my pics, or a 100 times worse scenario like what's happening in Boston...cold weather/snow can close roads within a city.

Imagine you're coming home from work one night and every road to your home has been closed because two feet of snow fell and some of the roads are impassable within the city. You either find a hotel or sit in your car trying to keep warm until the gas runs out...

And yes bushfires must be a horrible thing to endure, I can't imagine. Knowing my luck the bushfire would force all of the poisonous snakes and spiders to stampede right at my ass in a group

Hopefully you can read this Hal.... It was in our local newspaper this morning and I thought you may be interested.

You guys still get newspapers?

*crumples up newspaper to stoke fire*

Thanks, I can see most of the article and it's very interesting

I'm surprised that many more of you don't die, tbh. A few hundred years of Darwin?

Finally

We've taken a lot of history in school about the Eskimos/Inuit/Second Nations? people who live north of us. Their entire lives are spent living in that white landscape of constant snow and ice. I'm not talking about the summer Tundra Eskimos who get to see land for a couple of weeks every year, I'm talking about the people who live in igloos 24/7 and a nice day is only -25 with light snow flurries...

I only have one question - Why the fck?

We can outdo you all in anything.

We can outdo you all in anything.

Per capita?

[The Monk]

We can outdo you all in anything.

You sure can...... look at Trump for an example. We've never been able to foist a dickhead like that on our people....

I know right. It would suck for you to have a billionaire leader being accused of cutting taxes as a foolhardy stunt while running big deficits. Oh, wait... muh bad.

[RBP]

At least you don't have the same... shit, that too?
