Are there any cool plants where you live?
Down here's the jacarandá, it's kinda like the sakura but purple instead. Spring makes streets look like a royal parade. Very cool tree, lovely stuff.

They're used for heart medicine, but with the wrong dose they will kill you. Touching them is not going to cause harm so you don't have to be afraid of them, just don't ingest them.

I was only being half-serious when I said that, including the "This is why people prefer [staff]" on /trans/, if that happens to be related to your last statement.
I'm not all too familiar with seasonal boards as a concept, but I think the idea is fun and makes for a sense of urgency to use said boards, which may or may not result in threads people would otherwise have been too lazy to make. Not everything needs to be archived 100% correctly, fun and special occasions help keep up user morale - or that's a random Anon's take on it.

It's been a while since Orb aired, and it... played fast and loose with historical accuracy, let's say.
I've been reading a lot about the topic since then, and I wanted to write about the history that lead up to the events of Galileo's trial, that legendary fiasco which has become one of the founding myths of modernity. The events as they really occurred are much more complex than the popular narrative, and they stretch farther back than you may imagine, so I figured I'd write a bit about them, in installments. There's a lot to be learned about the nature of science through this topic.

I feel the EXACT opposite. With the cold, you can always put on more warm stuff -- but when it comes to the heat... you just suffer. The worst is sweating through your clothes and then needing to shower and change clothes.

When its humid, your sweat doesn't evaporate as much and homeostasis becomes less efficient. At 100% humidity you should avoid going out or your body will overheat if it's really hot.

We rarely get rain and if we do, most of the time it doesn't last longer than 1 or 2 minutes. Feels like we usually have just a couple hours of rain every year.

Recently though it's been raining a lot! Yesterday it rained for almost the entire day and a month or two ago we had almost an entire week of rain. That makes me really happy, I hope it stays like this.

The problem is once your body starts to fail it's harder to do risky stuff. I took an 80+ year old woman zip lining a few years ago and she had to skip half the fun because she wasn't able to do the part of the course where you were required to walk on platforms in the trees.

>I swear, people like this were born without self-preservation instincts.

Different people are scared of different things. I can't get on the roof of my house or at any height without freaking out. It gets worse as I age even if I try to expose myself to heights to over come it. It's so bad now that standing on a bridge spanning a high height causes the entire world to spin for me. I have to go down to my hands and knees and crawl away. I am terrified the entire time that the bridge will collapse with me on it. Same thing happens to be in high rise buildings and while riding elevators.

On the other hand. I have no fear of speed as long as I'm in control/driving. Even as a passenger I'm usually alright as long as I trust whoever is driving. I can sit at 150+mph all day on public roads or on wood courses like the one shown in the video of the OP and feel totally relaxed.

I have a friend that jumps out of airplanes for fun. I think he's insane. He thinks I'm insane because I ride motorcycles on the highway way over the speed limit while dodging traffic for fun. Different people are just wired differently.

The summer season is winding down. Where I live it has already felt like fall for the last week. The leaves are starting to turn and fall off of the tree. It hasn't rained in weeks and the grass is already dying. The cute girls are already putting away the sundresses and exchanging them for pants to keep warm. I always miss the cute outfits like skirts and dresses when the summer season comes to an end.

Anything fun anon has planned for the last few weeks of summer? I can't believe it's already almost the fall season. Halloween will be here before we know it.

I'm dreading the return of the chilly and cold weather.

I'm planning on going hiking again one more time while it's still hot outside. Then probably again when the leaves begin to fully turn.

It isn't that bad! I love the hot and humid weather! 95F and 80+% humidity with a chance of pop up thunderstorms that cause tornadoes? Yes please. That's my favorite time of year. Anything before 70F feels like a freezer to me. In the dead of winter I hate it so much. Makes my bones hurt and I can never get warm enough.

Hiking is really really fun. I love it so much. Walking up and down the local mountains is my favorite thing in the world. I love it when I'm 3+ miles from the trail head and I meet a fellow hiker. I've yet to meet anyone that wasn't nice on the trail.

One of the things on my bucket list is to do a thru-hike that takes several months on the AT. A trail that runs from the heart of the Southeast all the way to Maine. Going up and down the mountains the entire way and camping out every night. I need to do it soon while I still can. I was going to go in 2020 but they closed the AT. By the time it re-opened I didn't have the money saved up to do it anymore. Since it requires several thousand dollars in funds you need for eating and buying other supplies while you're walking through multiple states up and down their mountains on foot. Need plenty of extra cash to walk off trail now and again to visit interesting towns along the way and sample the food in the local diners.

If I had the money I'd already be working on obtaining the triple crown of hiking in America. There are two other trails like the AT. One is on the west coast of America. It's called the Pacific Coast trail. It goes from the Mexico border all the way to Canada and you hike the mountains in California and the other states along the way the entire way. The other trail which looks the most interesting is the Continental Divide Trail. Which goes from Mexico to Canada through the Rocky mountains.

After getting the triple crown I'd love to go to Japan and do the Kumano Kodo and Shikoku Pilgrimage. The Kumano has tons of shrines to visit along the way. Most people no longer do it on foot because there are bus tours. But I want to do it on foot to see if I run into anyone interesting and would love to visit all the shrines. A few dedicated Japanese still do it on foot and I'd really like to camp out with them.

For now I just hike my local state park.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>The Kumano has tons of shrines to visit along the way
Oh I got them mixed up. It's the other hike with all the shrines. You circle the island on foot. You visit every shrine along the way. Like I said most people do it on a bus ride now. But there are several still doing it on foot for religious reasons.

The only issue as a gaijin is getting a visa stay long enough to do these things. Since I'd like to visit a lot of other stuff while in Japan too. My plan was to go and hit a bunch of otaku things for the first couple of weeks. Then hike around the island and take my time with it. Staying at least a couple of months. After that if I could get an extension I'd do the Kumano.

Sounds cool! I'd like to do some hiking one day, but definitely not in summer or at least not in the heat and humidity I associate with summer where I live.
It's time to plant for autumn, so I'll probably buy some seeds for that purpose. I might have some peas and green beans lying around...
