@gemlog

I sincerely doubt it 😝

@StefanThinks

@gemlog that's awesome. I'll give it a go next time I hit the Cyrillic 😎

@gemlog лол 😜👍🏻

@gemlog 😂🤣

@gemlog We get a fair bit of Canadian TV here. And US. And from the UK. I don't really watch free to air much any more; I tend to binge watch streamed stuff in chunks when I feel the urge. The show you mentioned: Resident Alien? It was hilarious; Alan Tudyk is a fave (also discovered him in Firefly). He was also great in "Death at a funeral”...

@gemlog Aussies Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi.

@gemlog Kim’s Convenience (that’s what’s it’s called, right?). Degrassi Junior High. You can’t do that on Television. Travelers. Hmmmm…. I’m sure I’ve watched more. Admittedly more in my childhood.

We may not be up there with Canwegian brilliance, but we’re really far from the US, so we do have that going for us 😜

I do not know Fisk - just looked it up…. Looks promising.

@gemlog

@gemlog your age. In decades, right? 😜

@gemlog 436, isn't it? A spring chicken.

There is - just of a rather different flavour 😜

@trebach

@gemlog

Bingo. They're kinda par for course here. I just wasn't thinking, and downing water like it was going out if style...

@northernlights

@gemlog

Agreed. Coconut water is great - if you can get something to suoplement the gap.

@northernlights

@gemlog

Gatorade or similar if there's nothing else. Here we have electrolyte replacement products like Hydrolyte that you can put in your water bottle (some with glucose etc, some without) both in sachet form and effervescent tablets...

@gemlog

I got myself some (very) mild heat stroke here the other day. Lotsa fluids. Not enough electrolytes. It's a silent killer. I need to remember this because I sweat like crazy.

@northernlights

@gemlog

Glad you took their advice! I seem to remember you working there. Townsville doesn't usually get too much past 34⁰C - but the "feels like" can be into the high 40s because the humidity is often insanely high. Winter is not much cooler in real terms, but the humidity becomes sane, so I'm told.

We balance each other out in our desert-nations: You freeze, we melt.

Capital city of Qld (the state I'm in), a 14.5 hour drive from where I'm at, or 1360km
