It was 1980. Dallas..Back to back 113* days, I think it was 90 days running of no rain and 50 plus 100* days. It was HOT 1998, 2011 felt every bit as hot, maybe because I was older. This summer ranks right up there imo
@Garmel - you want to know what irks me a little? I just put out almost $8,000 to install a nice, new AC unit - in my house in Round Rock that my tenants are enjoying while I'm sweating with the ghetto, POS world-saving unit here that barely works.
dallas summer 1980 - Google Search 69 days of 100* +, 29 consecutive over 100*. Per link, 42% of Americans didn't have AC (WOW) Iirc, the 2011 summer just felt hotter because the low Temps seemed higher than any other
Order a cylinder of liquid air that you can turn on and cool the house at night. Hell, put the hose in your underpants to keep your privates cool.
No, not the same. Liquid air, when expanded at atmospheric pressure, exerts the Joule-Thompson effect (cooling upon expansion). It’s the same principle that a regular AC operates. In this case, the gas company has already compressed the refrigerant for you. Why buy an AC when you only need it 2 days per summer month? It’s basically an AC in a large bottle. Because there is no compressor involved, it’s a “once-through” system instead of a “cycle”, thus you need to replenish the bottles once empty.
We've used ours everyday since getting back from the Azores last Saturday. I may not use it tonight, but I'll definitely use it next week.
We don't have AC either at our house here in the States. Also, it's currently 65 degrees. Of course in the winter we get several days of -20 degrees. I've been cutting, splitting and stacking firewood every week......
Obviously, this is good news, but he's gotta switch parties at some point. Taking a piss on the leadership every chance he gets is going to get old - both to the caucus and primary voters. They will start screwing with him on committee assignments, and he'll eventually get primaried.
Why did the post @mchammer gave us make me think of The Wizard of Oz? DING DONG, the climate bill is dead, the wicked climate bill is dead!
My big takeaway from this is that next week British chicks will be walking around in bikinis. That's cool. I'm all for it.
Maybe in places like Birmingham and Manchester. Around here, it'll be busty British chicks. (Real British women are stacked.) Want to come visit?
This is because the activists act like lunatics. If you predict the apocalypse over and over again, eventually it has to actually happen. If it doesn't, people will tune you out.
It's pretty dry. Our ghetto AC unit is doing ok in our bedroom with 3 fans blowing at the same time, so there's relief in one room.
