"humidity is the worst. esp if you smoke."
-- stevienixed
I don't really get this.^^^
totally get this:
"it's not even the heat that's killing me now but the act that the humidity is making the air so incredibly thick it feels like i'm in a fog."

Albeit smoking is secondary to breathing, for once in my GD life.
― aimurchie, Monday, 9 June 2008 07:24 (fifteen years ago) link
cigarettes are kind of gross in the summer
― Surmounter, Monday, 9 June 2008 07:26 (fifteen years ago) link
it's just, the air is thick enough with heat. let alone smoke
I guess I never thought of smoking as a seasonal thing. It's more of a committment for me.

I got two free fans today.
Hopefully they will like my poetry.

The one that I have been using needs a dime to turn the little plastic thingy that controls speed. It's like a depression era fan - but once you get it going it's like the New Deal of wind.

attack of the ants in my house last night, and all because of one lousy drop of lemonade in a glass left on the side. There were hundreds of em, and I rarely get any at all in my house.

It's almost worth driving out to my current assignment in Reston, to be able to work in an air-conditioned office.

we bought a two story house this year which has two seperate AC units - one for each floor. That top floor ac fights and fights but it never ever gets below 80F and its humid as hell even though we have a central dehumidifier turned to dry like a desert.

I've already heard of blackouts in NY during the storms yesterday. I live in Queens. If we get a repeat of 2 summers ago I'm going postal.

said fuckit and installed AC in the bedroom... it's a new life.

i spent all of yesterday in my ac'd bedroom aside from like 2 hours
― bell_labs, Monday, 9 June 2008 14:34 (fifteen years ago) link
AC banned in our building, and not even installed in this room. So i have this fan on my desk which although does cool me down just tends to blow my paperwork all over the shop. and sounds like a wwii bomber.

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.

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 don't even know... oh, air-conditioning... not that much call for it for most of the year
― Tom D., Monday, 9 June 2008 14:55 (fifteen years ago) link
It's only occasionally too hot (and not at all last year, if I remember correctly) or too cold
― Tom D., Monday, 9 June 2008 14:56 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― ENBB, Monday, 9 June 2008 14:57 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― ENBB, Monday, 9 June 2008 14:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I had one ceiling fan, one floor fan and two window fans operating yesterday. Was able to do some aerodynamics research as a result.
― brownie, Monday, 9 June 2008 15:00 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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.
