too effing hot

Need swamp cooler directions STAT. House-sitting this week in a basement apt which is a little cooler but will be home next wkend and will be dying.

Ste - what part of the country do you live in? I would be forced to move to a new building.

Chicago has the worst weather all year round. Fuck you, Chicago weather. Fuck you.

i'm in UK, in nw

It's an environment issue, I think.

Is it your work or home building?

Does UK have a lot of A/C? In my imagination it doesn't really exist there, except at grocery stores and high-rises.

i spent all of yesterday in my ac'd bedroom aside from like 2 hours

club bed

I don't even know... oh, air-conditioning... not that much call for it for most of the year

It's only occasionally too hot (and not at all last year, if I remember correctly) or too cold

True but I was living there in 2003 when there was a heatwave during the summer and nearly died. It was so horrible. Apt, tube, shops, pubs etc. all not air conditioned. I've never looked forward to going to work as much as I did during that heatwave - I think I even stayed late to keep cool.

A friend from Seattle moved to North Carolina with her car, which like many in the Pacific Northwest, did not come equipped with air conditioning. The Horror.

xp- trains without a/c would be a fucking nightmare. It's only 70 out and I have our office a/c on. Yummy.

x- post On the other hand when we visited last July/August I had to go buy long sleeved tops as it was chilly.

We stayed indoors all weekend until I got stir-crazy last night and braved it once the sun had gone down. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I had one ceiling fan, one floor fan and two window fans operating yesterday. Was able to do some aerodynamics research as a result.

yeah, even here in the uk a train with no AC is a huge nightmare on hot days.

last year i visited new york on one of its hottest weeks, the ac in the taxis and subways was tremendous.

nyc 11:04am 85 degrees

Today was comfortably the hottest day of the year so far in Cambridge UK, just been playing a bit of lethargic parks football, even with shirts off it was almost untenable.

its gonna hit 100 here tomorrow

It's pretty aight here in Minnesota. *yaawwwwwwwn*

low of 78 is wtf

One of my co-workers complained today that he was "too cold", on what's been probably the hottest workday of the year so far.

This is after complaining most of the winter than he was "too hot" because of our office's climate-control air conditioning.

Of course, 20 degree difference between 30 miles is usually going to equal TORNADO.

already power outages in the outer boroughs. Boerum Hill was hit the worst.

gah boerum hill too close! i need my a/c!

^^^ less than 24 hrs later i would be lying on my floor, dehydrated and hungover and miserable

hah!

I'm not having alcohol until autumn. Hell, we even put the brita in the fridge...it's that hot!

And grapes, grapes in the fridge.

95 yesterday...a couple of degrees cooler predicted today, and then a storm front and upper 80s tomorrow and Wednesday. I won't complain yet because I know it's going to get a lot worse. I dread my next utility bill.

girlfriend took me to bed bath and beyond to buy me a/c and all the stuff she needs to stay at my house all summer.

Woke up in 72 degree apt with french pressed coffee ^_^

your girlfriend bought you an air conditioner??? KEEPER

are you a "kept" man?

is she your boss?

last i heard she wasn't his girlfriend. now we see what draws the line. a/c = commitment! lol

i would probably do any number of sordid things for a/c

if she pays the electric bill she's a keeper

ACs only cost like $100 people man up

lol you live in a small apartment

I'm gonna buy one of those portable ones so I don't have to permanently block a window and can move between two rooms. Prices have come down on those.

my apt is about twice the size of yours

I had to sleep pretty much all day yesterday in Oxford because it got up above 20 °C. I go to NYC and Providence for work from August 1-14. I'm going to die, aren't I?

don't talk to me wastegash

NY is usually worse in the early summer.

But there are any number of reasons that you may die.

What's this I hear about manhole fires
