MODERATORS
All you car haters, I'd like to see you sitting outside, having a coffee, in Arizona during the summer where it is 56°C during most hours on a daily basis.
Shouldn't have built a city in the middle of the fucking desert.
Don't say that my dude, most of your computer chips are from there
You could still do the bottom picture inside.
Well, Arizona is not meant to be lived in. As well as Mars, for example.
I don't believe that anyone from Arizona would use Celsius.
It's the only way it'll ever be 2 numbers again
There are lots of Canadians in Arizona!
I'm not
I respect base 10/metric, base 12/imperial is braindead, and think the US has a lower than average self awareness and introspection.
Metric (aka normal) is a worldwide standard. Inches and feet are not (really). Celsius is Kevin with an offset, which is why it makes more sense.
Those coffee shops have inside space too.
They way North America cities are designed it's definitely not pleasant.
Nothing more enjoyable then a car traveling at 60kmh right beside your patio table.
[insert King of the Hill quote]
The picture on the bottom is from France. I bet they would still drink their coffee in +56 because they sit like that during winter under a bloody snowstorm.
You can dress up for winter. You cannot dress down for "fuck you" heat.
Apparently you can dress up for "fuck you" heat.

Making a "cooling" shirt black defeats the purpose.
