Azdeus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It's 2100 hours over here, and it's still 30C outside and I'm smelting.. I was hoping on doing a proper cleaning of my house today, but **** that... Why do people get on airplanes to experience these temperatures? Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

I was hoping on doing a proper cleaning of my house today, but **** that... Why do people get on airplanes to experience these temperatures? Different climate. When I went to Hurghada we landed to a crispy 45° in the shade... at 0900. But noly once during that vacation did I sweat my ass off like I do right now with 15+° less. I almost melted when visiting the bazaar in the city proper (and that was at night). Edited July 31, 2018 by majestic No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

LadyCrimson Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) The heatwaves have completely passed us over, where I am. All this news for a while about massive high temps and the fires but nothing like that here. Not complaining. Death Valley is the hottest place I've ever been in. Sure it was a "dry heat" but even with the car A/C on I was sweating through my clothes driving/sightseeing through there. I have no desire to ever revisit that spot. Unrelated: I love Korean dramas, I've liked some Taiwan/Japan dramas. I've tried some Chinese dramas and I might like some, but what drives me crazy with them is their constant dubbing (they dub almost all dramas because of many regional dialect issues). Thus you can watch one, start liking an actress/actor and then try to watch another one of their shows ... but even if you're using subtitles, the completely different dub-voice coming out of their mouth throws you off. I can't stand it. lol. Edited July 31, 2018 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Azdeus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) 20C is about where my limit is, I don't have energy to do anything anymore.

Lexx Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 There's a fly in my flat. I feel like Walter White right now. With less drug cooking, but with cooking heat outside... I had like 15 or so flies yesterday. Opened the window and let them all out... that was hard work, because they are dumb as a brick. Went to work and when I came back, there had been another 10 to 20 flies. Thing is, all windows were closed, so they must have come from inside. I've let them out again and then started looking for a source, but couldn't find anything at all. There was no old leftover food, nothing that would smell, or a ventilation or whatever... I really have no clue where they came from. I'm hoping that I just missed something and they got inside over the other day when I had everything open for hours.....

Katphood Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) There is heat here alright(not sure if I could call it a heat wave though, the summers are always hot here) but pretty much every house here has an AC, mine as well. So yeah, it's pretty cool inside the house. It wasn't like that back in Austria/Germany though, most houses don't have an AC over there and summers were both hot and crazy humid! I'm hoping that I just missed something and they got inside over the other day when I had everything open for hours..... You probably left Steam running on your PC before heading out. I have all the entries to my house and balcony barricaded, NOTHING gets inside my house, my cats make sure of that.

Lexx Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 The usual argument here is that you don't need an AC if the hot summer is only two to three weeks long. Of course then suddenly you also get your rare "longer than two to three weeks" hot summer, but then it's too late to do anything about it already.

Katphood Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 True. You also used to get a lot of rain in the summers(once every week or so during my stay in Frankfurt am Main), but I don't know if that's still the case.

I'm living in a small town right next to a major floodplain so all my windows have a finely meshed insect screen. Otherwise various stinging insects would murder me in my sleep. Which means the fly came through the door and it is still sitting somewhere and not moving much. I swear it only comes out to mock me when I walk out of the room. We also once had a fly infestation with no apparent entry point. It turned out they were coming through the chimney cleanout door. A small rodent had died inside the chimney somewhere and the freshly eclosed flies squeezed through the small slit between the door and the wall. It was pretty impressive to see. And also pretty annoying. Not only where the flies everywhere they also were all sooty. Edited August 1, 2018 by majestic No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Guard Dog Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Actually yeah. I thought Friskies came from here. Don't worry Katphood, if things actually get bad we'll send you some. LOL, I'm sure the DHS would LOVE to know why I'm sending cat food to Tehran.

Katphood Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I'm surprised you even have Friskies.It's the lowest brand of cat food, human. It also makes cats fat. The real deal is usually 'Royal Canine' but I replaced that with a German brand called 'Sanabelle' which is a whole lot better actually. Germans are good at making all sorts of food for cats. Someday, when I achieve world domination(by sitting on my arse all day and doing nothing) I will give the Germans the task of making cat food for the entire planet. I used to have a box of Friskies I used to feed the cats in our alley with, now I have to resort to the same kind of food for my cats! ...OH SASHA!!!! *weeps* In all seriousness, people are struggling with bigger problems but hey, some people choose to marry and have two children, I choose to live all by myself and my two cats, because I really can't afford a family anymore. I am 35 already! Living alone keeps costs low and most importantly, it keeps my head clear. It also helps that I have my own apartment and don't have to pay rent.
