Karma is a bitch

Three Rhino Poachers Eaten By Lions in South Africa

A pride of lions ate a group of poachers after they broke into a game reserve earlier this week in South Africa to hunt rhinoceroses.

Three men were believed to have been eaten alive by the predators sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning after they entered the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea to hunt rhinos, Nick Fox, the park’s owner, told Newsweek.

Think the heat is bad here??? It is much worse in Montreal

MONTREAL —Health authorities in the Canadian province of Quebec said Thursday that 33 people have died from heat-related complications in the last few days.

Eighteen of those deaths have come in Montreal, where humid temperatures climbed past 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius).

Many of the victims were men over the age of 50 living alone in private apartments and seniors' residences, according to Dr. David Kaiser with Montreal's public health department.

None of the victims had air conditioning and Kaiser said most of them died inside of their homes.

Everyone thinks cold is more unbearable, but the heat in the summer months kills WAY more people. If you've got elderly relatives or neighbors (or children), check in on them, make sure they have access to a cool area, and make sure they drink a little more water than they're used to, even if they're not that thirsty. When you get older, your sense of thirst gets a little blunted, and you're way more susceptible to getting heat stroke, AND to deteriorating rapidly once you do get heat stroke. Same goes for children.

The news out here was reporting on all the illegal fireworks people were using. The LAPD encouraged people to take pictures and videos so they could identify and rat out their neighbors for using fireworks. Literally everyone the news interviewed said they weren't going to snitch. Just a ridiculous proposition.

110 was the feel like temp, not actual temp. The same garbage we've had (upper 90s air temp + humidity).

Not to downplay the severity though, especially since they are slightly less used to it up there.

Heartbreaking, heat is so dangerous. I have severe asthma, while temps in Halifax have been tough on my breathing, I`d last about 15 minutes in Montreal right now

My mom said it was 115 in Surprise, AZ yesterday. Even sent a dashboard pic of her car thermometer. @Kovi and I are closing on our new house today, in...you guessed it, Surprise, AZ. But it's a dry heat, right?

it seems cliche at this point to say "It's a dry heat", but it really does have a different feel to it. Don't get me wrong, 115 is damned hot, but at 105 and less than 10% humidity, it's more comfortable than what we've had here for this past week. I'm sure we won't mind it when it's in the 70s in January.

Exactly. Plus golf in the winter beats a little heat in the summer.

I went golfing on Wednesday morning with my son, and by the back nine, it was pretty damned hot. I'll take 3 months of really hot weather for 9 months of bearable (and no snow!) weather.

This 100%. And after a year or so as you get acclimated, the unbearable heat window shrinks to about 2 months, give or take. Well worth it to not have to scrape ice, shovel snow, and all that winter jackassery

It's official. The closing went through without a hitch, and @Kovi and I are now homeowners. Anyone need an extra snow shovel? We won't be needing ours anymore.
