    Just fuck the heat. I hate summer. I hate heat waves. I hate the fucking >27°C in my room. I don't like the >35°C outside either.

    God, I hate the USA for not using freaking metric like the rest of the damn world. It's especially bothersome for me since I'm in a science field that uses metric, but then I go home and all the weather is in non-metric. GAH

    Anyway, 27 isn't that hot man. Luckily for me, I live right next to a giant lake so it stays relatively cool for me, even in the summer.

    27°C is quite hot if it's inside. As for 35°C outside, that's about 3ĸ too hot.

    The FAT( Free Air Temperature) guages in our helicopters peg out at 50(don't know how to make little o)C, an occurrence all too common in this shit hole.

    35C is a nice cool day in Iraq.

    Unless you have spent over 12 hours in a humvee with no air conditioning in full combat gear in Iraq in the middle of summer I don't want to hear your bitchin.

    Or working in an attic in Phoenix, Arizona in the middle of summer. 140 deg F.+ and no air movement.

    100 degrees fahrenheit, 100% humidity. The air is so saturated with water that your sweat stops working (i.e. it can't evaporate, so it just heats up on your skin). That's a normal day at work for me, though I must admit that fighting a war in such heat is way beyond my ken.

    Its currently 2°C inside here, I could turn the heating on but that requires effort.

    Ah, crap...I forgot that it's winter for you now. Besides, indoor heating is for the pussies who don't own sweaters. Or parrots.

    I'm a believer in using fire for heating, but unfortunately this place doesn't have a fireplace so short of pulling a barrel inside I am unable to stay true to my beliefs.

    yea...For me it's about 20 degrees Calcius both inside and outside, maybe 24 outside. And at the moment it's cloudy, so it's quite nice.

    I'm an asshole, but at least I'm an American asshole.

    Yeah, 'cause being an American asshole is so much better than being some other asshole.

    Hell, if you're an asshole you could just as well be French.

    I don't have to have a point cause I'm an American!

    Case in point: the Iraq war.
