I’ve worked in mines in the desert in South Australia where temps semi regularly hit 46-47 degrees.

It’s OK (ish) because the humidity is low. But you can drink a litre an hour all day (11+ hours) and not need to pee. All that water goes somewhere.

The underground workings are often more dangerous, with lower temperatures but higher humidity. Once wet bulb temps get above 34 degrees underground personnel need to retreat from the area and the only work that can be done there then is work to fix the ventilation.

There’s heat stress meters that measure wet and dry bulb temperatures and airflow, and can basically compute cooling power in watts. Not enough cooling power -> everyone out.

A guy I used to work with went by the nickname of “Womble”, his name was actually Raymond.

One day I was poking through work orders in our system and discovered that it also officially knew him as “Womble <last name>” and there was no sign of Raymond in there.

He seems to have this the wrong way around.

The world is the store, and he’s just some person outside its front door, holding out his hand and asking US customers for 5 bucks for every item they want to go home with.
