Does not compute.

29c

Buckle in for the next week, looks like a heatwave for the UK, 30c for the next 3/4 days, with thunder storms forecasted for Sat/Sun, hopefully ... my poor CPU is idling at 48c when it's normally 40c

Wurra-wurra-wurra, that poor CPU...

 

[phill]

It's been damn hot today.... 31C here , nearly 88F.... It'll be ok in a few days, soon be back down to 12C Was completely daft yesterday, went for a near 30 mile cycle in the weather!!

I guess the air con unit I have recently got does make a difference but it's not sorting out the whole house!! Damn it, need more air con power!!

Was seeing temps hit up to about 65C on a CPU that has been down to about 48 to 52C today and then the GPU being up to about 67C down to 50C.... I don't think 12000 BTU is enough I need more power, Scottie!!

How's everyone else been doing??

I find it's best and cheapest, to just pick one room in the house to have the air con window unit installed in, and keep that door closed. I spend like 90% of my lifespan in my bedroom, so that's where I have mine. I have a very big bedroom though, has everything in it... wall mounted tv, my computer desks (yes plural) and a reading/writing desk/bookshelf on top of that. I even have a small pantry of food in here.

AC is a normal thing in the US, though in the UK, we're lucky if we hit over 25c for 7 days in full summer so it doesn't make sense here for those few days, but when it does, boy, do we wish we spent that $400 for a decent AC unit

yeah fair enough, my AC kicks on every day and every night all through May/June/July/August and sometimes parts of septemeber, even if its only 73 outside, it will be 76 in here or 73 outside is so humid/swamp like its miserable not like a good 73 with a good breeze...

so yeah I love my AC, and the engineering on these window AC units has gotten so good, it barely uses any electricity anymore. i think my dad said he pays $40 more a month cause of my ac window unit. small price to pay for constant good temps.

UK hits highest rate of daily COVID cases in world

interesting news headline to read on Freedom Day. lol.

RIP two weeks from now.

Aside from the covid, forget the damn heat can we go back to cold weather or give me optimal temp of 20c.

ye with climate change and such, y'all might want to consider a window air con bed unit like I did. im sitting at 68 faren year round.

A fan is just manage the heat during the day but its when I want to sleep the heat is just impossible, sadly I have no room for a portable air con unit.

getting naked, and no blankets seems to be your only option left then. good luck mate!

Ahhhhh the irony, combat the effects of climate change with aircon units

Indeed. I just sweat my ass off. It's hot already today.

It's nice they gave those dead stumps some shade.

With climate change and all, we gotta try our best to protect what's left of the plants.

I was hoping to do a bit more with the unit I had bought as a slightly smaller unit was cheaper but by the time I needed to buy extra bits for the window fit kits and such, I ended up with a bigger unit which seems to have paid off as it's cooling or keeping the temp down for over half the house

Sadly I get told off by the Mrs's if I'm in the PC room all the time with the girls about which I can understand so I don't often get much time in there lol I setup and get working the kit I need for the day (depending on the solar production) and leave it be I might get the time to grab the data for the Folding and Crunching threads I look after but that's about it Not so lucky I can get a game or game for a few hours without being asked to do something completely different elsewhere lol

Just makes me feel like when I do get a new place, AC will definitely need to be plumbed in and be a beast of a system since I don't believe in doing things by half

Thinking of immigrating to North Korea, I heard it's nice there this time of year and just in time for the social credit system of China that is being adopted in the UK, my mental health is shot to pieces with what is going on in the UK right now

The heat, or Covid? I kind of doubt either is better in NK :shrug:

Do you? all hail your wisdom then my son has a heart condition, he takes warfarin to stop his blood from getting too thick and clotting, one of the more known side effects of the jab, he's also only 14, the most at risk group from vaccine side effects and one of the only groups to have more risk from the vaccine than catching covid and recovering

Should he risk it to save those more at risk of covid?

 

[claes]

I was asking because I didn’t know Truly sorry to hear about your son’s condition, that’s an awful bind to be in. I was just curious how NK would help but, please, ignore me. I know you just want what’s best for your family and respect that on face, no argument necessary

Hope everything works out

I was under the impression the Johnson and Johnson single jab would be safe for you son? I do understand the mrna jabs put myocardia for young males at higher risk, and then the AZ jab for blood clots. but the JNJ seems to be blood clot issues only in women? it's possible I am remembering all of this wrong. my head hurts.

but if I am remembering right, why can't your son get the JNJ one? that one in particular seems to be only unsafe for women, but again I am unsure as my memory is vague

edit: nm i am dumb. jnj not approved for kids yet.

my bad.
