    Default Arctic air-con

    I am currently sitting in my office. It is above 35 degrees Celsius outside. The aircon is on 18 degrees. I am still sweating.
    Why doesn't someone invent an aircon that can go into the negatives? Because I really need that right now. Damn this sub-tropical climate.

    That sounds awful! I am so bad in the summer time when it's hot, I can't take any weather above about 25 C/75 F. ;_;

    All of the heat and humidity that you are removing from your office is going outside! Making it slightly more hot and more humid and much more tropical!

    The best thing to do is to cool your inner temp, so drink a lot of ice water and eat some popsicles.

    It gets horrible in Australia aswell, I think insulation helps (which my house doesn't have Y-Y). I've actually got a festival to go to on sunday, and the forecast is 41 c

    If we've learnt anything from the political topic under the spotlight this past week, it's that insulation is BAD idea right now. 4 people dead. 93 reports of fires.

    It was 40 the day before yesterday. I seriously considered going to my car and sleeping with the AC on but I knew it would be bad for petrol. So I couldn't get to sleep at all and went to uni all sleep deprived.

    edit: oh, and I don't know about subzero airconditioning. I've never experienced weather below zero before, I'm guessing I won't be able to cop it. But maybe we could do like Homer did in The Simpsons when he built a little fort in front of an open refridgerator.

    Ohh yeah, pretty bad. Well if there's any kind of insulation that would kill you I'm not surprised that it's government funded insulation.

    I wish I had air con in my car! Bloody Fiat unos...I tend to recluse during summer because it is just too hot to drive anywhere here. I also tend to not sleep, eat, or work. In fact I should just cyro freeze myself until autumn.

    Rodarian is just being silly!

    My car had no air-con either; but that's because it's broken. If I turn it on, my car's fuse blows. My dad finally figured out the solution, but he said it'll cost $600, so I've just been dealing with it for the past two summers out of guilt and cheapness. :x

    I run an abnormally high temp, from 98-100 degrees, all the time so I'm always hot when its summer or even spring. ;~;

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    You aint gonna get any sympathy from me either, as long as I've got temperatures of -20 degrees celsius and 90%+ relative humidity.

    The snot in my nostrils freezes to ice every time i inhale.

    I will give sympathy. Hot weather is much worse than cold weather.

    I caught a cold in a building with AC that was too cold, once. We had to buy sweaters from them because we were going to be there awhile. Probably part of their evil plan.

    I thought this thread was going to be about terrorists on planes in the Antarctic or something.
