Topic: It's hot. (Read 1097 times)
I will admit, I have nearly crashed a few times in summer, I can't help but look, especially when they're jogging >_< 
Yeah, girls won't know what I'm talking about LOL

Why can't summer just fuck off and die? I swear the only thing I find pleasant about it is getting distracted by the cute girls everything else is extremely unpleasant and causes me headaches or gives me hayfever, I'll be glad if global warming happens as people predict and causes a new ice age if it means an end to the damn summer.
As attractive the cute girls may be, I assure you getting distracted by them is not pleasant. Some of us need to get some work done
.Also, have you considered moving north (or south, as the case may be)? Real estate in Nunavut is likely to appreciate in value, so now's a good time to buy.
88F here...fortunately I work at night. In my air conditioned CHU during the day.
12C outside, 19C inside.
Switched on the A/C yesterday... kind of shocked it still works. Before I bought the house, the bank owned it. They apparently don't do jack-shit in research on the people they hire for maintenance. Lawn maintenance people managed to cut through both the solid copper (and fairly thick!) A/C wire and the cheap vinyl siding (they pretty severely cut the siding, and that was a big PitA to get back on right -- still haven't done one of the corners). They cut out a big section of the wire, so I used cheap copper-strand wire and aluminum connectors to keep it going, since that's what I had on-hand. So far, nothing terrible's happened. Temperatures on the connectors are fine and it's pulling exactly as much electricity as it should.
I suffered through a >105*F Summer in PA 2 or 3 years ago without A/C (took naps in the car for "sleep" on the hottest weeks). Now it's a decent 78*F indoors and have a window unit waiting in the garage if the rusty old central unit craps out. Don't have a bunch of GPU miners, now (it'd get over 130*F ambient in mining room before with a bunch of box fans moving air in and out of the house -- was basically like being in a dehydrator with 15 MPH winds -- I'd smoke in there and lose about 80% of the tobacco to the wind smoking it for me), so at least I'm not combating wasted energy in the form of heat with a fairly powerful window unit going full-blast which couldn't even get temps to what they were outside. Definitely wish I set the gardens up to automatically water before the Summer heat came, though.

Oh yea, you moved to some place in Indiana, didn't you? If I recall correctly, you were looking to rent or buy in Indiana.
Damned, those temperatures.
Here is the minimum temp 8c and maximum temp 11c outside

Sucking on ice cubes really helps cool down your body.
As does drinking ice cold beers.

I'd suck living where you guys are LOL I can barely stand it here in the UK when it's summer and it'd be cold for you lot.

Yep.
A scorching 75F outside. Thankfully the cool breeze off the ocean is keeping things reasonable. Nice to see the sunbathers out.

My old stomping grounds was Northwest Indiana. How far are you from that general area? PM me and I'll tell you what town I grew up in, whereupon you don't have to state where you are.
19C outside 29C inside...
I hate this apartment...

Yea, today I'm gonna be pulling the the panels off the A/C "furnace" inside unit, and scrubbing the A coils. A coil on the first unit is done it was clogged with dust, sorta, got to get at the top of it now, then work on the second inside unit A coil. Not fun at all, hand cuts all over ect.
LOL I really suck at dealing with heat but I can happily sit through winter, it's only 14 or so degrees and I feel boiling.
