April 19, 1775 is the date when the uppity Americans told the tyrant King George where to stick it. Also known as the 'shot heard around the world'. That is 247 years ago.
I swear, my site's the only one where somebody gets pissed over somebody else's comment over a satire video. Lighten up, guys. It's too early for this shit.
I was just thinking about this. As recently as two years ago, +30C was "a warm day." It is now being presented as apocalyptic heat when it's basically normal summer weather.
Just installed an 8000 BTU unit in my ~160sqft bedroom and my dog loves it since it cools the hallway he sleeps in. Old unit was 5000 and couldn't keep up with bad insulation and sun. 6000 probably would have done it but I like extra POWER and headroom. Simple enough to turn the AC down if it's too cold; not so simple to make a system defy the laws of chemistry and physics to cool more capacity than it is capable of cooling.
1980 wife and I went to Innsbruck for a ski vacation. We hit a heat wave, dumb luck. Got to ski on the glacier anyway. Tiny bar in the basement of the hotel. Cold beer? Room temp. Ice cubes? Y'all crazy? Bathing? Phew! Arrogant bus drivers, but public train transport and restrooms were surgically clean. Yep. Who's the redneck indeed. Couldn't wait to get home.
And we won't get into their damn food.

ReplyDeleteMr. Dave Carrier, an AMERICAN, invented air conditioning.
A little over 200 years ago, those UK bastards said give us your guns.
ReplyDeleteWe shot them.
May have to watch history repeat before this shit is straightened out...

So 247 isn't a bit over 200... you need an education in not being an prick? 🤔
DeleteYou knew exactly what I was saying so good enough for you to figure it out yes? Utterly unnecessary for you to run off at the keyboard
Have a blessed day.

DeleteI prefer 80° weather with a 35° beer....

ReplyDeleteI prefer a pleasant 68F.
