This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

By your logic, home air conditioning can't work because the condenser is stationary.

If the ambient temperature is 71⁰C, then no, air conditioning will not work, at least not sufficiently to sustain life or protect batteries.

Fuck, you do realize that 71⁰C is enough to melt your shoes to the pavement right?
