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

xp, yes, i might get caught in the crossfire of a JW beef

lol

it all depends.. i remember july last summer being pretty awful, too.

so seriously -- the window/wall unit question... can anyone help? will i set my house on fire or something if i get the window unit and put it in the wall space? there are bars on my windows so i can't just put one in the window.

aren't there laws? Your landlord should be able to replace the bars with the kind that fit an AC.

I'm sure there's some good reason why people don't just put AC units in the middle of apartments. They need to vent.

Korean Fan Death?

well we have one of those holes under the window specifically for an air conditioner so i doubt she'd be willing to alter the bars... this is the kind of landlady who recently got taken to a courttv show over a security deposit!

i am just thinking, there's no way that everyone with one of those holes under their windows is spending $$$$$$ on their a/c.

was at a friends house last nite who had a window unit in the wall slot seemed fine

OH when you said wallspace I thought you meant like an internal wall. I thought those Fedders holes under windows were FOR window units?

who agrees to go on court tv?

doesn't those wall holes have like things to mate the ac?

the guy at p.c. richards said i couldn't put a window unit in the wall slot bc the air intake is different... but the only wall units they had there were like $500. so i wasn't sure if you really can't do it or if he was trying to upsell.

You could spend some extra $$ and buy a portable a/c. I was just looking online and 299 seemed the cheapest price.

don't buy a portable ac

yeah, i thought of that, but i don't want to spend that much.

all signs are pointing towards you spending that extra 200.

i just went out back and surveyed my neighbors' units... i think several of them have the wall units...

i just went out back and surveyed my neighbors' units

XD

haha

i have a/c at home but i haven't turned it on yet. i rarely use the heat either.

august can be brutal in nyc, though perhaps not as bad as late july, but it depends on the year, really. this summer's supposed to be pretty bad, due to la nina, but the badness may moderate by august.

My AC broke a couple days ago and it's going to take a few days to get it fixed. I'm :( and I'm sure my pets are :(((. It's about 100 out here.

I'm impressed by gabbneb not turning on the A/C yet – where were you all w/e?

in my apt, at the gym, shopping and in madison sq pk eating much bbq. i wear light colors, drink lots of water, and try to stay in the shade, including keeping the blinds closed when the sun's facing the windows. shoulda worn some sunscreen tho.
