thats what they do everyday

in most places they don't have ACs, but in America (some parts at least) it's not a luxury... here in texas it's like 102 degrees Farenheit, with 98 % Humidity (which makes it feel like 110)... you NEED an AC!
-
Stealth...you don't need to be in Texas either. Our temps are nearly as high as yours. About 99F with 80% humidity. Brutal temperatures...and this is Southern Ontario. So much for Canada being cold. :D
AC is a lifesaver.
-
when you say it was used for the first time a 100 years ago, do you mean commercially used or tested used or bought used or what?
hang on.
there were ac's around 100 years ago?
-
Perhaps it was related to the invention of the aircraft? :D
-
:wtf: how exactly would you try to relate the mechanics of air conditioning to that of aircraft?
-
The propellors, of course! ;)
-
right... what sane person around here uses aircraft as air con?
i forget. no such thing as a sane person round here.

I wonder how they did 101 years ago and before :p
AC's, in France, that's for cars, offices and supermarkets, and that's about all :p

Hooray for AC's :D

ROFL Venom.... :lol:
The temperatures here usually stay around 27-32 or so during the summer (at night it gets down to 17 or so), but sometimes we get these desert winds that up the temperature to 40+. Thank God that the humidity goes down during those times! :)

well, in France, it's... weird now. ten years ago, you could barely get more than 30 in full summer. 20 years ago, that was common, and now, sometimes you get 30, sometimes you get 15, in the same week. Meteoman is f***ed up I tell you

Happy birthday air conditioner?
Hmmm and I thought you were all reffering to the fact that it is Windrunners birthday :D
(well it's sorta funny)

I'm Canadian, I dont need no stinkin AC!

i just said "Texas" because that's wherei live... i know some other places in America get hotter, but i can't relate, cause i live in texas... i can only relate to texas :)
though humidity in Texas gets higher than anywhere in a merica if i'm not mistaken

Actually you do. It's been pretty hot here lately, more than 25 degrees, and when the sun is shining badly it will get over 30, maybe 35? I think that's hot enough, and it's good that we don't have some 45 degrees here. :D

I suppose you're right...but then what was the first air conditioner!? And how do you define air conditioner? For all we know it could have been someone strapped some ice to the back of a fan, turned it on and called it an air conditioner :D
right... what sane person around here uses aircraft as air con?
It takes an uncommon mind to think of these things ;)

Here's the proof that air conditioning is 100 years old now:

I pity you texasians. You have warm weather all the time, so you go outside and do stuff all the time, which leaves no time for HLP and Freespace, which is bad.
I have weird logic don't I ?!

:mad: :mad: :headz:
texas is about a friggan 100o+ F during the day, you cant just go outside, you'd burn your ass off if you went outside everyday:snipe:
-
and how much would that be in Celsius, for us poor European chaps?
-
alot... Man you could fry eggs in that heat! The only time I ever experineced that kind of heat was when I went to Israel a couple of years back and went on one of those desert safaris. My god was I burning up. And to even show the heat outside the tour guide broke an egg on a stone, and low and behold it started sizzling. Crazy...

You tell them Red :D
Yes Venom we do need AC's here :p
(... well to tell you the truth open window is my AC right now though)
god it's hot right now...

the worst heat I experienced was during the universal expo at Sevilla in 1992, the hottest year of all the century. Man, on the central place ( just coming out from an underground car park ), there was a digital indicator, it was showing about 52C° ( the damn place was all white, super refraction I tell you ). I almost fainted.
Aki, yeah, it's damn hot here too, and I'm locked in a room with 13 PC, 12 other peoples and a ****ing large window on the ceiling...
mum, help me!!!

Hell yeah. I got all my windows open riht now, though there is a slight cloud cover now, and it was raining a bit, but its so damp that its almost hard to breathe. I was at the flea market a couple of days ago, and I even got sun burned!!! Here! In finland! I guess theres a first for everything...
Sorry to hear that Venom, that sounds horrible. Reminds of one of my shorter jobs where I edited and controlled the internal TV network for a mall called Jumbo. Anyway, my office if you can call it that was about the size of a cuboard with 4 computers, the TV network server, about 9 TVs, no air conditioning and all smashed under the escalators. Talk about HOT. I was cooped up in there for about 9 hours at a time, keeping the lights low, cause the door and windows were tinted so no one could look inside. Whee. So after about 3 months of hell I called it quits. Didn't even pay very well.

You've been here? When? Maybe we ran into each other and didn't know it! :p

100F = 37.8C In other words, hot.
I read a similar article in our local "newspaper" (it's not exactly The Times), and it credited the air conditioner with the devlopment ot the "Sun Belt" -- Arizona, Florida, etc -- over the last 50 years. Something like 95% of the homes in the US South have air conditioning now.

It was back in 96-97 in Eilat. Yes I know, tourist town, but still fun. It was alos the time there was quite heavy tremors in the region. I don't remember if there was a earthquake, but I do remember waking up to the bed shaking. That was cool! :D So if you were in Eilat around then, I guess we would have met. :D

Ahh well - first time I got down to Eilat was actually Nov. '97, right after basic training. Anyways, if you ever decie to come back for a visit, let me (and Ace Pace, I would think...) know! :D

Damn Nico... you sure have a great place to be in summer... 13 PC's, heck I have one in my room (it's not so big but also not so small... take your pick :p) and it feel like a sauna time to times... window open :nervous:
Dark... burning yourself in Finland is not so new. It depends what kind of skin you have ;)
I can burn myself quite easily... I'm allmost albino like Conan O'Brien :D

Oh it'll start again today. Looking outside now is like looking at the bottom of a giant alien spaceship from ID4. With a bit of low rumblings...
Sandwich, yeah, I'll definitely give you call if I go back there again. I love to Scuba dive, so I'll most probaly end up going either back to Eilat, cause its rihgt on the Red Sea, or somewhere near the Sinai. Though I heard theres also some good diving u north in Israel. I'll probably drop by when things calm down a bit and I got some cash. :D

Sadly you're right... oh well... it does good for the nature to rain time to times. No need to complain in the end :)

Ahoy there! Send some of that H2O over here! :)
Seriously, though, we are in dire straits, no pun intended. We've had a big brick in our toilet water container for the past few years so that we use that much less wter per flush.

Believe me my friend... if I could I would send some water there :)

Hehe, no offense of course...
Before A/C, Washington DC was considered "tropical" by some European governments... I have also heard that some countries considered diplomats being stationed here in the summer to be deserving of "hardship pay."

hmm, get me a 10000 km hose and then I can hook it up to the sink, expect the water to be there in a few days :D

One can use any HTML tag that one desires. However, there are some that will break the forums, and are not advisable. So don't play around with the TABLE, TR, or TD tags, as doing so could get the admins quite upset with you. Consider yourself warned.
