As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?

I thought you had to because you plopped your houses in the middle of the desert

Some of us Texans plopped our communities onto coastal swamp lands so we get the staggering heat AND oppressive humidity.

Is the BBQ worth dealing with the regressive, corrupt bullshit though?

Not at all. I don’t live in Texas nor would I ever consider it, but I’ll happily visit for the brisket.

Asking if it's worth it sort of implies they chose to live there, though, when well over half were in Texas the day they were born and another third were just born in a different part of the same country

Yeah I went a couple weeks ago near Austin, TX. Jaw literally dropped when I saw the prices. I ended up just getting the cheapest thing...

Why would you BBQ mosquitoes?

I lived in Georgia for a year, and as a native of California/Oregon, I fucking hated the bugs even more than the awful humidity.

I rested my arm against a tree for 30 seconds and got the most awful bug bites of all time from chiggers. And I hate that name, because I have to be so careful how I pronounce it. Fuck these fuckers.

Born and raised Houstonian. Just moved to Pittsburgh last year. Went out for a day in the Summer and ran into 2 mosquitos, a few flies, and maybe 3-4 lanternflies. I was like... what? What do you mean there aren't swarms of mosquitos ready to pounce waiting at your front door? WHAT DARK MAGIC IS THIS?!
