Two states face deadly threat and tell millions of residents to stay indoors and NOT drink coffee

Daily Mail

California and Nevada residents have been urged to avoid drinking coffee and stay indoors as temperatures soar into the triple digits this weekend.

Those in the desert regions of Nevada and southeastern California are currently under an extreme heat warning until the end of Saturday night.

The National Weather Service issued advice earlier this week cautioning those in the areas to avoid alcohol and caffeine as it will speed up dehydration.

An extreme heat warning is currently in place across areas including Sacramento, Chico and Modesto.

The notice added: 'Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

'Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.'

In central California, cities including Merced, Bakersfield, and Tulare are expected to see the mercury climb as high as 106F.

While Trinity, Mendocino and Lake Counties could see temperatures sore as high as 105F.

If It's desert, just wear loose fitting light garments and let the sweat cool you.

I worked in hotter temps (driving sheeting building seawalls) in 99% relative humidity, and the only way to cool off was to go into the water. Sweat didn't evaporate well there. But in the desert, drink a lot of water, have some salt (ekectrolyte tabs are best, because they have some potassium), and sweat, preferably where there is shade and a breeze.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

When I was quite young, my family lived in the San Fernando Valley for three years, and experienced 115 degree temps. Pretty sure the subject of coffee never came up, at least from the weather service.

During a heat wave in Korea back in 52, Klinger drank coffee to keep cool.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Somewhere in Arizona there's an old desert rat, sitting on the porch of his un-air-conditioned cabin, sipping on strong cowboy coffee, and laughing his ass off.

Well, I have AC, but nobody's taking my coffee away....

I'm jussayin... There's been people living successfully in that desert long before there was air conditioning... And heat indexes. Drinking coffee from a campfire, and draggin Longhorns out of the brush for a living... They're dried up like beef jerky... But there they are... doing just fine too.
