No such thing, silly name earner.
Detroit is humid enough not to be hard on pianos. Arizona is.
If Arizona wants a musical cultural center with pianos, it has to put special humidifiers in its pianos if it doesn’t want them to go forthwith to hell.
But it’s still relative. The humidity in Arizona is not literally zero. Cacti manage to live there that wouldn’t in the middle of the Sahara.
Keep on earning that name.
Actually absolute humidity would still matter. They’d have to look at what it is like inside a factory. Piano factories are not open air affairs. I thought you understood this.
BWAHAHAHAHAH
You’re taking this position all the way to saying there is no such thing as objectively humid?! BWHAHAHAHAHAHA Is there also no such thing as UP?! BWAHAHAHAHA
Man you’re funny. Like a drunk on a staircase.
“UP” is not qualitatively equivalent. “UP” is like “humider.”
There you go arguing against yourself now. Really, dude, you’re going full retard. I’m leaving for your sake. But do let’s understand some basic truths:
The Great Lakes region is objectively cold and humid
You are a troll
You just spent 2 hours making sure everybody on this thread knows to never believe a damn thing you say
I’ve got salmon to cook. I won’t be reading anymore of you’re namecalling BS... like ever.
And, Arizona is humider than the Sahara Desert.
Oh good grief, accusing me of the names you’ve earned.
Any scientist would understand me. You’re just a stick in the mud bully.
You’ve never ever talked absolute humidity, like parts per million water vapor to air.
This matters when you are using said air, without wanting to modify it with humidifiers or dehumidifiers but only heating it or cooling it, to fill a factory or a warehouse.
Yeah, I am sure you found an excuse, the salmon you caught in your “arid” state. But everybody else sees this.
Funny, some of the friendliest people I’ve talked to came from N’Yawk (City).
Big city life is its own boon or bane.
And hey. I hear Detroit has a budget surplus now. Chicago can only look at that and say envy....
As I said, snow and rain count in humidity.
Click on the link and read the interpretations. It's either "a bit dry" or "very comfortable".
Ignore the troll and maybe it will leave.
Once again, weather here is perfect.
I can believe that it’s too humid for Stew’s comfort. But probably won’t be for mine. Whether the snow gets old, that’s another thing, but I lived in Chicago for decades. It didn’t kill me.
Funny thing, I’ve had two sisters in my mother’s family have that same kind of difference of opinion about personal comfort. One loved it in the middle of Mississippi. The other couldn’t bear to leave Albuquerque. Either Albuquerque was too dry, or Mississippi was too humid.
De gustibus non disputandem est. That’s why this whole argy bargy with Stew is funny. At least I’m trying to provide a relative perspective. Stew is the absolutist here.
I’m hoping I might only have to work less than a decade longer before I get other things lined up. Maybe MUCH less, if fortuitous events go down in my life (and the life of a good buddy).
But I would have to guess, I would probably seldom have a Christmas that wasn’t white in Detroit. Probably a Thanksgiving Day and a Valentine’s Day too.
There are beautiful things in many cities. Some people butt their heads so hard against the inconveniences that they fail to appreciate the beauties.
I hope they begin building pianos again in Detroit. I learned recently that the biggest world consumer of pianos is... surprise... CHINA! They are a huge producer now, but consumption is off the map. Now what if we could make pianos in Detroit again, and send them to China? They’d probably get fewer dud instruments that way. And they wouldn’t be polluting their Yangtze out the yin yang in order to get them, like they do right now. Pearl River... how about Pearl Sewer? It’s hard to believe how China does not care about pollution.
And that’s true about snow and rain. When it’s snowing or raining, by definition the humidity has hit 100%. BUT WHAT’S THE TEMPERATURE? It matters when considering the effect of that on what it’s like to live indoors, or even to go out in a car.
And Stew was complaining about snow that is too slushy to make a good snowball?
That would have to be during a pretty narrow seasonal zone, wouldn’t it? When temps themselves were hovering around the freezing point?
In deep cold the other thing would be the problem. Too little moisture to cohere. You’d be hurling handfuls of powder.
Been reading... it’s possible to catch salmon in Michigan, but only on the west side (Detroit is on the east). Walleye is a different story. All the walleye you want, easy peasy?
Yeah... I wish the greenies would start taking China into account in their picture. Lefties can be so parochial can’t they? What if they have a people’s paradise in China if they have to live in a sewer to do it? Hello lefties, why are you turning your back on the Gaia you said you loved so well?
Right now, the Steinway piano company makes beginner level pianos with many Steinway-esque features in China at Pearl River, er, sewer. They call it the Essex.
Why can’t Detroit produce Essexes instead? Detroit could do it far more greenly.
Yeah, but you have to know how to interact with them to get them to be friendly. Boy, the stories I could tell and here's one.
Back in 1994 I made my first trip to NYC on business. I was working for an Executive Search Firm headquartered in NYC. I was installing their network and teaching the staff (120'ish people) how to use it. Lunchtime came and I was hungry so I headed out to find a nice Jewish deli that the CEO's admin recommended.
Line was out the door for the place and I probably waited a good 20 minutes to get to the counter and make my order.
This old man behind the counter barked "Well? What do you want!" at me. Not knowing what I wanted I started to ask a question. Bad move.
"Get out of line!"
What? I said.
"Get out of MY line!"
I was kinda dumbstruck.
"Get the fugoutta my line!" he yelled at me again so I turned and walked out of the deli.
I went back to the office, the CEO's admin asked if I'd gotten a sandwich from her favorite Jewish deli.
I said no. She asked why, so I told her what happened. She laughed. "You get your ass back to that deli and order a sandwich. This time you better know what the fug you want and yell it to the guy behind the counter.
What the hell, I was hungry and I didn't like some old guy behind a deli counter running me off so I went back. Stood in line twenty minutes again and got to the counter.
Same old man looked at me with this scowl as if to say "Well? What the fug do you want?!"
So I yelled my order at him. I said what kind of bread, meat, tomato, lettuce, onion, how much mayo and said that was it.
The old man smiled at me and said "Welcome to New Yawk!"
Best damn' sandwich I think I ever had.
I think we're hiring however I don't think I'd recommend my current employer to anyone. It's fricking insane in financial services right now.
Yeah... know enough to tell um what you want, and be able to half understand it yourself, and they’ll knock themselves out for you.
Expect them to plumb your fog ab initio, and you’re plumb outta luck.
Actually there’s a way to ask if you don’t know. Just confess that you don’t know what’s offered, and you want a sandwich but don’t see anything here about what is offered on them (assuming that was the case here — if there was a sign, there really was no excuse), so what can you get on your sandwich? Then choose quickly.
I was born in Highland Park to we were probably born in the same Hospital. By the way if you look at the police cars in the film Gran Torino they are marked as being from Highland Park
