That whole episode is gold, start to finish, I tell you whut.

Yep - same episode!

Isn’t there a King of the Hill episode that is literally about both of these things?

You know, the human body is amazing. Given the right conditions, one of us thinks 25°C is hot, and the other, cold. 20°C at the beach? That’s a jacket, jeans, and flannel shirt for me.

Sorry about your sunburn. That’s never fun, regardless of temp.

We never have been. Hell, not even ahead of the curve. Just not feeding the beast after it’s already bitten your hand.

Yeah, OK, that’s a fair point.

Still, I think you all cold-loving people are strange. Why rebuke the loving embrace of Father Sun? Mangoes and wine are your reward!

Or, just like…don’t go places where you need to steal insulating layers from animals just to have a nice time.

And I’ve been to the arctic. No one wears wool when it’s -20. Down, yes. But it’s all encased in petrochemicals.

In Greek, the word for summer is kalokairi. It literally means “good weather.”

Snow can suck a fuck. Totally overrated. Why go somewhere that you need to add layers of polyester just to survive? 1 layer of linen and I’m set.

Edit: Every downvote from you churns a server in a data center that makes the earth heat up. Bring it on. Let the leopards eat your faces!

It’s really telling how over the last few months, the overlap of “Oh, WTF is this?” between Privacy and Technology communities have aligned more and more.

It’s always kind of funny when the Technology folks wade into well-researched and well-worn Privacy territory.

Do you want to not wave a giant flag of your activity to Google, Meta, MS, and your ISP when you do literally anything online? Either use a VPN and Mullvad (or Librewolf, but YMMV) browser, OR a VPN and Tor OR Tor with an https bridge if paying for a VPN will make you a target (Tor bridges are not for casuals, save them for those in genuine need).

VPN locations need to be changed. Frequently. Router level VPN at home becomes your “This is me” location, then make use of VPNs on each device when you want an extra layer of obfuscation.

There’s not a lot of middle ground at this point, and it’s not difficult.
