          Do they not have the concept of humor on your planet? That’s too bad. I hope it gets there sometime soon.

        Can you please describe it as a quantity mass compressing air in a 1" cylinder for 10 seconds at STP?

          "

          You better have forgotten another quotation somewhere, because if that stands for the heretical inch unit then I’m about to shove my 30cm up your ass.

    Thermometer from my deployment to Iraq in 2008. Pretty sure that day we were over 130F. I have to do some more digging but I believe I have a photo of one over 140F.

    Anything metal becomes burn your skin hot in just a few minutes. Exposed skin is very uncomfortable almost immediately.

    Can confirm hair dryer weather at those temps.
