Bling bling, shorty. £3,600 for that thing? Damn! Anyway, it's still hot as hell up in this joint, but it's Tuesday, so the Essefficist is back again to answer all your questions and resolve all your quandries. Aiiigghhht!

Today we're looking at your questions about the ongoing heat wave, condom life expectancy, a social blunder, and the elusive Craig's List hookup.

First we turn to Jordan, who asks "When is this heat wave going to be over?"

Are you drinking a heat wave, Jordan? If that's the case, well, we guess it'll last as long as you can nurse the thing. But really, drinks in parfait glasses are kinda gross, so hopefully the heat wave you're really wondering about is this infernal weather we're suffering through. So when's it gonna break? In a word, Thursday. It looks like things might be cooling off a bit already, compared to the last couple of days at least, but by Thursday it should be below eighty again here in the City. Friday will really be back to normal with temperatures in the low seventies. We should even start seeing our beloved fog again a few days from now and there's a real slim chance of rain late next week. If you don't want to take it from us — which we wouldn't take personally — check with SFist's very own weather service, the Chronicle, or the New York Times. That's what we did.
