  • I’ve been in 52 C heat (125 F) and it’s no joke, but you can still walk around, even in the sun, without exerting yourself too much.

    I’ve also been in a room at 70 C (almost 160 F) for a few minutes and that was terrifying. The air is as if burning your insides, it’s absolutely unbearable. There is a world of difference between these two. I image 60 C for four hours would start killing people, particularly the elderly.











  • There are two major kinds of avocado. The internet lost its shit about palta, famous for its use in Mexican guacamole. It’s about the size of a pear, with bumpy skin. Best served as part of savory dish (seasoned with salt).

    The other one is bigger, rounder, and has smooth, shiny skin. Known as aguacate or abacate. Best served as a sweet dish. A banana+abacate+milk smoothie with a bit of sugar is delicious. Also eaten with a sprinkle of sugar and a squeeze of lime.

    Using the “wrong” kind of avocado is possible, but requires adaptation and even then the results are sub par.
