jesus christ.

Cool, thanks for the update.

It's Do The Right Thing hot

Feels alright outside. It's not too humid or anything.

AC is working wonders

Yeah.

uh-huh.

Srsly, that "it's not the heat, it's the humidty" thing is no fucking joke. Give me 100 and dry over 80 and soggy.

whoa

Ok, so I have heard conflicting reports on what to do while I am gone at work. Should I:

Keep the house at about 85 degrees during the day while out, and set the timer to kick in to get it back down to 74-76 by the time I get home from work? The air will probably run consistently for 4 hours or so on a day like this.

Or leave the air setting at 76 all day and just let the air do it's thing while I am out?

I dont have a/c

i went to some local pizza place by my work and when i stepped inside it was so hot i couldnt breathe.

Open up all the windows and dance around in your Batman costume. The world needs to know.

you can let the temp get a few degrees warmer while you are at work, but 10 degrees is too much. your electric meter will be spinning so fast, you'll be able to slice lunch meat with that thing
let it go up to maybe 79 while at work. set it to start cooling about an hour or so before you get home

I'd go with that. My central air keeps the place cold just fine, but takes so long to get the place cold that it's not worth keeping it warmer while I'm at work. Doesn't get cool again until like, bedtime. I'm talking about only super-hot days. 95% of the time it's okay to scale back during the day.

Maybe your system cools the place faster than mine, I dunno.

Amen to that shit. Try working in a cramped pizza joint with an authentic, old-school, hell-hot brick oven in the south in the summer. Actually, don't.

know what else is hot...digging trenches for foundations in Bull Head City AZ in the middle of july. this shit here is a walk in the park.

Wow, that sounds crappy

i went to play basketball at 6:30pm yesterday and my shirt was drenched after 30 min of just shooting around

Yeah Rudayo, I do this too.

I just went for a walk and thought the sun felt nice. But I couldn't sleep at night without A/C in weather like this.

And I think I'll do my run indoors today.

You know what else is hot? Pouring and spreading asphalt on a 110 degree day. After three summers doing that, I really shouldn't be complaining about the heat right now.

i knew you were tough alky. let's get some beers and slap our respected ol lady's around.

Looking back, I'm not sure how I survived all that. I'm sure it somehow had some bearing on how much alcohol I drank those summers.

you bunch of sallies. i ran 16 miles in the heat saturday morning, got in 8 last night at 6:30.

although i do find myself wishing it were winter lately. i'll regret saying this in 6 months, but i wish it were wintertime so i could watch football, make chili and wear giant warm sweatshirts all weekend.

24 miles in this heat? You are in-fucking-sane. Pretty sure I haven't run 24 miles total in my life.

I bow to thee!

Call me cold-hearted, but no one is forcing you guys to run.

I don't have much sympathy for runners complaining about the heat after they choose to run in 98 degree weather.

you don't hear me complaining, do you? i'm just stating facts.

I know, I know. That wasn't directed at you, more at a friend of mine who was bitching about how hot her run was last night. I don't get it. Why torture yourself? When I run, I like to run on a nice, stationary treadmill in a nice, air-conditioned gym where I can admire the cute girls.

If you were paying attention you'd notice he wasn't complaining and I just said I'm gonna run indoors. Don't make me come over there Alky. You startin sumthin'?

Read my previous post, geez. I guess I'd be cranky if I was out in that heat too.

Oh, and... bring it.

otm

quit crying pussies
it's been at or near 100 F since may here

today is an unusually cool day, as it's only 91 F here at the moment.

5-6 pm is the hottest part of the day here, though

Oh, you are in so much trouble, my friend. Are you calling me a bitch now? Oh man, it's on fo sho!!!

Oh yeah? Try working in a steel factory in Death Valley without air conditioning while wearing a hooded, padded, insulated rubber suit in the sun. You guys think you have it so bad. Get real.

that's nothing. where's jigga been? trying being black.

Wow, we've all turned into living variations of Dana Carvey's grumpy old man character. I'm just waiting for someone to talk about the year it snowed 13' in the middle of July even thought it was 108 degrees out.

that's the stuff, alky. just think snow, you guys.
look how refreshing this picture is.

Yeah, seriously. Fuck this summer bullshit already.

No, fuck snow.

Americans complaining about heat = big yawn.





just saving Mitchell the trouble...

Good point. I guess I only really like the weather on brisk, sunny, fall days.

snow is awesome. sure, it's hot outside, but i'd rather live here than some nonsense equatorial locale that never changes climate.

there. feel better?

Seiously, is there somewhere I can live that alternates between spring and fall all the time? Fresh, sunny skied 75 degree days alternating with brisk autum evenings? That would be awesome.

NO, FUCK YOU.

SNOW RULZ #1!!!!!!!!!!

the south east
edit: if you can handle four months of intense heat
it snows here maybe once every five years

Kaiser Steel? or Yuba City Steel?

Talk to Freddie.

But I would miss Midwest summer thunderstorms, those rule. Mostly when I am about to fall asleep and safely in bed, but they still rule.

I only just now got the "sofa king" thing in the thread title (after saying it aloud to myself)...how ever many hours later...just wanted to 'fess up...and yep, it's hot out there.

San Diego.

Hey, we're back to Highs of 75-78°, Lows of 63-68°. The humidity is still over 50% right now, but it'll hopefully drop by the weekend.

[edit]I just checked the weather & we're still showing 80-90% humidity for the weekend. WTF? This's supposed to be a Mediteranean Climate! Dry Summers, Wet Winters!
