  • I live at the equator and it’s always ~28 degrees celsius where I live. You can get almost any temperature at the equator so that really isn’t a test of heat. Here in Colombia if you go down the mountains towards the coast or jungle it gets hotter. There the houses are built with lots of natural wind tunnel effects to keep them passively cool. When you’re outside in the heat you just get used to it. When I was in Iraq it took us a few weeks to really get used to it but even at 50 degrees celsius you eventually build a tolerance.



  • All operating system elitism is stupid. Just use what you like and are comfortable using. I grew up on Linux and mostly use Mac nowadays.

    It’s even sillier to make fun of someone for the distro they use.

    When you’re a boring person and the only thing you have to be snobby about is your operating system I’m not sure that says anything good about you.




  • So they can flash them to warn the other planes about the air cops hanging out in the clouds. /s

    This is what I found with a quick web search:

    Do Planes Fly with Headlights on?

    Planes only fly with headlights on in scenarios that call for it. Those scenarios include flights that take place in crowded air spaces, when flying below 10,000 feet, and upon takeoffs and landings. It’s also common for pilots to turn on the headlights on their aircrafts when changing flight levels, to help increase visibility to other aircrafts, and in emergency circumstances to communicate with personnel on the ground.

    Also the green light is on the right side of the plane, the red light is on the left, and the white lights are at the stern. Same as a boat.
