    Can’t imagine not showering almost every day. I can’t get my shit together in the morning until I’ve had a shower.

    The loss of real winters is what has made my grudge with climate change personal. Winter is my favorite season. I recognize that I can say that mostly because I have the privilege to have a good experience with winter, but that’s my context. And, to be fair, I’ve enjoyed it even during the times I’ve been flat broke. I’m a transplant to central California, and a lot of millennials and older will tell you that winter here has changed dramatically. The boomers will too as long as you don’t use trigger words like “climate change”. We barely ever get fog anymore. My wife said she almost never went trick or treating because it was always raining, but my kids have never missed a Halloween yet. Supposedly it would start raining gently around the end of October and just not stop until the end of February or so; now it just stays kind of overcast and then we’ll get hella rain for a week here or a week there. It’s a la Niña year this year, though, so it’s probably going to stay dry and sunny the whole winter. A lot of the older folks in the mountains will tell you that snowfall at lower elevations is dramatically different. I work EMS in a town at around 1000 ft elevation in the Sierras, and the old timers in town will tell you that they used to get flat out snowed in. Now, it’s kind of a big deal if you get enough snow to make a footprint.

    We keep in touch with some people in New York state and they tell us that it doesn’t even really snow in New York anymore, which is kind of blowing my mind.

      I’m in South Carolina so we’ve never really had much serious winter weather. Summers here are much different now than when I was a kid in the 80s. When I was growing up we could go out and play from the morning until sundown all summer long, now we have periods where you’re supposed to stay inside during the day because it will be over 100F with like 95% humidity for a week or two at a time.

        To be clear, this climate is all I’ve ever known for California. People who’ve lived here their whole lives will tell you how dramatically things have changed.

      When they say it doesn’t “really” snow, what do they mean? My experience has been that we are getting less snow than before, but still at least a few feet per season. If you look back at historical records, the difference in snowfall hasn’t been so dramatic.

          Ask ChatGPT?

          Sadly it answered in a sensible and boring way.

          Directly injecting veggie fiber into your colon is not safe and can cause serious harm. The colon is sensitive, and introducing substances directly into it without proper medical guidance can lead to infections, injuries, or other complications. It’s essential to consume fiber through a proper diet or approved supplements. If you’re experiencing digestive issues or concerns about fiber intake, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective solutions.
