I'm fine with the temperature and it's nice to have some sun, it's the humidity I hate. e: Darth Walrus posted:The difference between the U.K. and other countries is that since temperatures like this are unusual, we don’t have the toolkit to deal with them (like decent air conditioning, for instance).

mycomancy posted:Are you guys really complaining about 85 F temperatures? No idea. I was complaining about 25C temperatures though. I don't think Johnny Foreigner can truly understand how miserably this country is built to stand temperatures of 25 & up. It only happens maybe 10-14 days a year so you never get a chance to get used to it, it's always obnoxiously humid, we've got no air conditioning as standard, and my skin all falls off if I'm outside in it for more than 8 seconds. Fortunately the cloud is rolling in over night here and temperatures over night should get to 12 or so.

Someone mentioned the Big Narstie show in the last thread. I really liked it. Even got me liking Ed Sheeran a bit. Hadn't ever heard of him before he was on Big Fat Quiz that time but he's great. Also I hope we get a big rear end thunderstorm after all this heat nonsense. It is somewhat reassuring to find I am not the only person who gets properly angry when the heat is really stupid. Also also I read houses here are designed to keep the heat in which is an absolute fucker when it is hot

mycomancy posted:Are you guys really complaining about 85 F temperatures? people in places tend to acclimatise to some extent to the general average temperature of that place, meaning a high temperature where it's usually low all the time will be more intensely felt than that same temperature where it's warm all the time. also we drive on a different side of the road and we call pants "trousers"

No matter how many heatwaves, or snow spells, or floods, or whatever that isn't reportable in the past, the media LOSES THEIR loving MINDS with it as if it never happened before. The media saturates with it, and so whoever watches it gets hooked into the hysteria complaining machine. This explains everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gjLBLgQFkg

Temp chat. Having spent a lot of time in hot places (South Vietnam, Singapore, North africa) the last few weeks have felt not far off the Asian countries. Not quite as oppressive but not too far off. I think after a certain temperature the exact degrees start to matter less and wind/humidity matter a lot more.

It is somewhat reassuring to find I am not the only person who gets properly angry when the heat is really stupid. Also also I read houses here are designed to keep the heat in which is an absolute fucker when it is hot It's not exactly that houses are built to keep the heat in exactly but modern buildings have high insulation coupled with low thermal mass (because it's cheaper to build timber-frame than from brick etc.). Ideally you'd have high insulation and high thermal mass - all thermal mass is is a big lump of stuff that stores heat (so you're looking for density x specific heat capacity) and effectively all it does is induces a lag in temperature change - that is to say it cools down overnight, and heats up during the day, but in doing so it emits heat at night (keeping your house warmer) and sucks in heat during the day (keeping it cooler). If you've got enough and your house is otherwise well-designed then it'll help keep your house at a comfortable temperature all year round with minimal heating/cooling. Works a lot better in climates where you have a reasonable temperature difference between seasons and/or between day and night.

I've noticed that mine seems to lag by a few weeks from whatever the temperature is doing outside. It's good at the start of winter and start of summer, less good two months in.

My tolerance threshold for trolls is approximately 18 months before I put them on Ignore. Most of them can't sustain it that long, mind you.

I don't care about the kickyballs except to whine about how it might affect some tiny aspect of how I waste my life, but doesn't a steroid-pumped, fixed-results championship feel like exactly what we deserve? You can't be all 'oh let's FIFA do the footy thing over in Russia', then demand a fair and clean show with a straight face
