    People who live in cold places are used to going out in the cold. Like, the city doesn’t shut down or anything. Yeah it’s cold, but they have this thing called a jacket, and if you live in winterland, you probably own at least one decent one. And add layers, Jerry. Layers!

      Yeah but we aren’t used to be out all day. Most people just commute to work and back.

    They just murdered another ICE watcher, I am seeing videos of it happen out of Minnesota friends who are watchers, but it’s not on the news yet or even here.

    I was at a protest last winter in Chicago. I believe it was 16 degrees. It was insane. My buddy and I bundled up. Layers. He brought heat packs. We prepared.

    It was still brutal. We found walking helped but damn. I think we only lasted just shy of 2 hours. We tried but even my thick thighs (covered by my thick fur lined parka coat) were starting to feel pain from the cold within the first hour.

    I say this because that’s still 25 degrees warmer than it was for these people

    Damn that’s some hardcore protesting in Minnesota.

        Where’d all those digits come from?

        I guarantee the temperature variations in that plaza alone were orders of magnitude larger than one part in ten thousand of one kelvin.

        Nah that’s just a cold day in middle of winter up north. Fucking brutal if it’s windy though, or if you haven’t grown up getting used to it

          Holy hell, we haven’t had that kind of cold in Denmark for a long time. But I still remember the special feeling of your nose hair freezing up.

            The weirdest part is that Minneapolis (44.9778° N, 93.2650° W) is further south than Milano (45.4685° N, 9.1824° E)
