Someone turn down the heater

[Ermz]

Going to be 43 degrees celsius tomorrow. Had to put my projects on hold because at that point your brain just shuts down.

It rolls around every year yet I'm never smart enough to make plans and get out! 2 winters a year sounds like something worth pursuing....

To all other Melbournites out there... my condolences.

Go to the cinema haha, that's what my dad in Canberra is planning to do on his day off after having a tooth removed. I have to say I'd probably prefer the -2 C temperature that we have atm to what you've gotta deal with as that kind of temperature is just cripplingly hot.

Ermz, Im going to ship you a huge air con unit next year Get your arse to the UK, we have excellently wintery winters and even more wintery summers haha.

 

[StefTD]

We've got -4°C here at the moment and 15cm snow, never saw that much snow in this city.

But good lord, 43°C is way to much, I went crazy when we had 33°C.

Care to ship it inside a Mesa 4x12?

@Joe: The problem is that EVERYONE has the same idea. So you get all the shopping malls and cinemas and they're absolutely full. After a while all the body head just negates the air con and you're kinda back to where you started, hahah.

@Stef: Yeah I can see that. 33 is just a regular summer day here unfortunately. Air con is necessary to function, yet so few places have it. Makes you wonder, this must be some sort of penance so we can have better next lives or something...

It's 11pm at night and I'm still sweating my ass off.

 

[Ermz]

Me too bro. Not even going to attempt to sleep tonight. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll pass out at 7am.

I've got a couple of Marshall 4 x 12's in storage that might fit the bill lol.

Combine that with the fact that a day at the shopping mall is close to torture for me and it's a stratergy made of fail. The Air Con MesaOS is a FAR superior stratergy

Whoa, and I get uncomfortable when the temperature passes 25c I think I'd prefer the -20c we have here now, 'cause you can just stay inside and turn on the heater.

 

[Ermz]

Sauna, you mean?

I think it's time to bust out some videogame classics. Maybe time for the 20th run through Fallout 2...

Man I couldn't deal with going through Fallout 2 in this heat, the whole place is basically a desert. Not to mention the whole soundtrack has that feel of the sun beating down on your neck, walking an empty highway, Akubra rim chafing your forehead, sweat drips evaporating before they hit the ground.

I'm listening to "My Chrysalis Highwayman" (the music that plays when you drive around in the car) right now.

 

[lilhermiejobo]

Guess who gets to work outside inside that heat. I'll give you a hint. Me.

AND, my job requires me to wear long pants and boots.

Do any of you Aussies running multi-core computers find that it becomes almost dangerous to use them when the temp gets up so high?
I must just be lucky because my computer is in the hottest room of this house and during the day it is absolutely horrible to spend more than 5 or 10 minutes in there.
No air con, by the way, as well.

Man, Mark Morgan's soundtrack to those games is insane. He did the Planescape - Torment music as well. I love that sort of dark ambient stuff. Actually makes me think of anything but the desert... though you have a fair point about the game being very orange and yellow.

... still, it's not like I'm gonna play Crysis or something again just because it's frozen north style.

Condolences, jobo. I was under the impression most outside work gets canceled in that weather.

Also, don't even get into comps man. I'm in a tiny bedroom size room, FULL of thick insulation, with a quad core, 2 massively high Wattage speakers and some tube outboard that heats up like a muther. Breathing is not an option. Might just not even bother and spend the day with the girlfriend at Northland.

 

[lilhermiejobo]

It does if you work for a big company. I work for a small business and the owner is a greedy douche bag.

 

[Metaltastic]

And you don't have an A/C for yourself because...?

 

[joeymusicguy]

welcome to my heat chamber, we shall make jamz whilst roasting to death

 

[Soundlurker]

I still don't get why air conditioning isn't popular in one of the hottest countries in the world.

Don't you at least have some of those mobile air con things?

I have one of these:

When it's around 35C here (sometimes 40) I can't bear it outside but it's quite comfortable in the room...you actually have to worry not to freeze your brain with that thing, they are quite powerfull and well worth the investment (especially here where they save you a lot on heating).

That's fucked that you Aussie's don't have A/C... I live in Canada, the country everyone on earth associates with igloos and snowmen and pretty much everyone has A/C here. 43 degrees is ridiculous... It usually gets up to 32 or so on the really hot days here in the summer and even that is really hot.
