I very frequently watch TV mainly to listen to it while playing a computer game, browsing Lustria-Online, or writing for Scarterra and generally only look up during the "good parts."

I guess that's part of the reason I prefer to re-watch old stuff over and over again rather than watch new stuff which requires my full attention. Even then a few very good shows I will watch with my full attention more than once.

I saw this meme and I had to look it up because I am OCD about numbers.

40 degrees Fahrenheit is about 4.5 degrees Celsius.

40 degrees Celsius is about 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

My local Boy Scout Summer camp had a "Polar Bear swim" tradition. We had an outdoor pool of course, so the water was coolest at dawn. Once a week every year was a Polar Bear Swim challenge when people would get up to swim at dawn just for the manly challenge of it, sometimes they would put ice in the pool. I did it every time.

One summerin the 1990s, it was freakishly hot, rarely dipping below 100 degrees in the daytime. That day I had never seen the polar bear swim so crowded. It went from being too cold to Goldilocks temperature.

As an adult, I cannot tolerate prolonged exposure to 100 degrees Fahrenheit any more but as a kid I didn't mind it so much. That said, I don't mind 40 degrees Fahrenheit that much anymore.
