Re: beverages
Outdoor fibre… in a country where places can go from -20 to +10 in an hour, while the wind blows at 50k the whole time. Ice an inch thick forming overnight. Hours of intense direct sunlight causing heating while gusts cool things back down. Places where the wind can roar at 80k with 120k gusts as *normal weather*. Hail. +40 summers, also with hail. Moose, bears, fucking squirrels.
And this is the *nice* weather where most of us live (seriously, there are large communities and cities in all those zones), nevermind the crazy shit out in the sticks. -40 with a foot of snow an hour with 40k winds for three days straight, for instance. Never mind the winter is our HUMID season in the west half.
