Better than an 80 degree in super humid Indiana.
It's so humid here I'm having a hard time putting my contacts in because my face keeps getting sweaty, making it hard to get my lids open enough to put the lens in.
And I'm starting to regret coming here because I have lost nearly all control over avoiding naked *****es. I had to yell at a service man today because he came inside without a mask on. A neighbor come up, no mask. Gas station, no mask. Grocery store, masked but very crowded. And now I'm hearing all about Hillary's child abduction crap again, more birther crap, more racist crap, and non-Californians who've never been to California knowing all about California because Fox News told them everything they need to know about our state. Losers.
It's going to be another scorcher here, but it seems my A/C went out early this morning. Fan still works but it's not cooling. I thought it might have frozen up so I turned it off for a couple of hours, but I'm not sure. I may have to call someone to fix it.

I win finding a paywall workaround. But it wont work on all sites.

So you're trying to access subscription sites for free

If I am in need of the contained information in the article.
I did find another, albeit frustrating and long method that requires tons of patience and is not worth it if there is not a reason you need to read the article.
It will be fixed soon, I hope.
The current setup can almost be called designed to encourage bypassing the paywalls.
Ask me to watch a commercial to see a page? Sure if I want to enough. Charge me 5c or something to see one particular page? Sure, if I want to enough.
But in effect ask me to pay thousands of dollars a month for many many different sites to get at something? My #1 work around is to search for non-paywalled alternatives.
And for some sites, I know how many free views I have a month and ration my visits accordingly.
Maybe the news outlets can catch up with media outlets and offer alternatives to the current mess. I'd be inclined to sign up for more than the one site I currently pay for access.
That would be a winning thing for them to do.

So...you're retired.....taking MY hard earned dollar...so you can sit around and thieve content......sheesh.....and people wonder why I don't like the retired folk....well...at least not until I'm one of them and doing the same thing...but until then.....

as do I for your sake....1,000,000 degrees in the shade in Arizona is not fun without A/C
Loser. You missed the point about all the hard work I do to not thieve content by monitoring web site usage, searching for open media outlets with the same info and so forth.
And yes, you can envy me.

I did not miss it, I chose to ignore it to reinforce my biased views about the retired...to not discard it would have invalidated my intolerant views of the retired, gave me no reason to post the whole "you're despicable" thing...and left me in a philosophical conundrum for at least a week...or at least until @Revoltingest posted something to validate my hatred for the retired...mostly jealously actually....but I wrap it in hatred to cover my true feelings
To rub salt in your philosophical biases and jealous feelings, I do pay for the truly valuable content. I subscribe to two different daily comics outlets.
When the rest of the media world offers me content as valuable to me as those sites do, I'll cheerfully hand over some money for them.

SO you admit stealing then.....
Note: Bias hatred and jealousy can make you deaf DUMB and blind (with emphasis on the dumb)) to any number of things
I admit nothing outside of subscribing to this conundrum:
On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other.
Information wants to be free - Wikipedia
Winning without using big words.
