    The movie or the book?

    The movie has Gregory Peck and is therefore at least watchable.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    fans are actually common in the humid tropics

    you see, your sweat doesn't evaporate as easily in high humidity, which makes a fan that much more effective

    like, if that's the problem then i'm almost certainly the thing she actually wants. i won't go into the details of the conversation where she decided not to "jump into anything," but yeah. it's pretty clearly a case of thinking there's something missing, but still wanting what's here. or something. i'm drunk, this shit aint gonna make sense. point being, she's inexperienced enough that she wouldn't know a good relationship if it bit her in the ass.

    they do if you vent the increased humidity very fast

    a fine spray of water is added to standing fans in open-air events sometimes for that reason

    ok, that makes sense

    edit: the vap cooler bit, mind you. nothing with this girl makes any fucking sense at all. i'm sticking around, though, because having her as a friend would actually be pretty spiffy as well.

    Maaaan, how do fans make things cooler via moving air?

    Your body heat warms the air immediately in your vicinity by convention. A fan moves that air with slightly cooler air.

    This also allows moisture on your skin to more easily evaporate by reducing the dewpoint of the air immediately touching you.

    So fans only make you feel colder but do not actually make the room colder.

    Okay, this makes far more sense to me.

    Air is a much better insulator than we realise. Imagine replacing that inch of air between your hand and a hot pan with.. anything else, really. Or remember why wool sweaters made of holes work so well.

    I figure I could take a bear.

    In other news, went back to yuppie central yesterday to give another day of assertiveness training.

    Feels really good to just tell people, 'You're doing it all wrong!' after years of respecting their right to suck at international business meetings.

    p much
    its also the explanation I was given for down jackets
    the down just creates pockets of dead air around your body which your body warms and then keeps you toasty

    If boobs didn't exist, I would like to think we'd be in some floating, fantastical future paradise.

    To those who utilize boobs often, this is probably a fair trade.
