I just wrapped a soccer game. Holy hell, I think I lost five pounds tonight.

I did too. Wasnt that bad after 8.

[jokkir]

Note to self: NEVER go out in this kind of weather/temperature again. It was seriously like an oven outside.

[whitehawk]

So today was 33 celcius... Friday is supposed to be 36...

[Zombie James]

Don't worry, guys, it's only a few short months until it goes back down to 15 degrees around Christmas.

I officially have the nastiest tan lines on my arms thanks to today's sun.

Too hot. Come to me, delicious winter.

Hopefully we'll have a winter this year :(

Ah, that looks like heaven right now.

My apartment is a humid, hot, sticky mess. I should go get an AC unit :\

Which league you play for? I suddenly had this hilarious thought of "oh man what if we played against each other!" I'm in HPSA in Thornhill.

I live in London, so yeah, we wouldn't play each other. :P

[Roto13]

I'm doing ok in my living room but I seriously need a second AC unit for my bedroom. Last night was unbearable.

[DoctorWho]

I have an AC but I find it takes too long to cool off my apartment. I just end up using a fan and it more than does the trick.

[EvilMario]

For a few summers we had no AC. Ended up picking up a small 5400BTU window unit. It would basically cool one small room, or at least an area in the small room. But this year, our friends who are moving to Newfoundland gave us their 14,000BTU portable unit.. hohoho..

They won't need it where they're going. :P

[soultron]

I hid out at work until 10PM last night and dodged the heatwave. Suckers.

No, I did not get paid OT.

I must be the only person enjoying this hot weather.
I've been living in the wrong geographical climate.

14000! Mmmmm

I've been thinking of picking up a ~5000 BTU Window Unit, but it'd probably only cool off my bedroom which I usually only sleep in. Being able to sleep in a cool room would be the best, last night was torture, I kept waking up covered in sweat :(. But, at the same time I wouldn't mind being able to keep my living room cool because that's where my PC and TV are setup. But the cost difference between a window unit ($99) and a Portable Unit ($399+) I just can't afford right now. :<

I don't mind when it's warm out. But when you throw in the humidity and it's "30 but feels like 40", I get a little uncomfortable. I prefer a dry heat.

I'll bitch about it but I love it. The only time I hate the heat is when I go to bed. I like to be freezing cold and warm up as I sleep.

California heat is a nice heat. This is not nice heat.

[Quick]

My room is in the basement, so it's never really hot. Warm if I open my window, if anything.

Not that it helps me right now being in Florida. Been feeling like 35-40 all week now.

[added_time]

I like every season of the year. Summer is probably my least favorite because of the heat but I would hate to lose it. I enjoy each season for different reasons.

i was at wonderland yesterday. unbelievably hot :(

Where does a guy get a part time job in this city? Man. It's like everyone's cutting hours. I'd kill just to have my high school job at EB back just for some cash flow. ;(

The line ups were short I hope. I went on the weekend 2 weeks ago. It was pure madness with lines.

I got a 5000 BTU 'Haier' brand window air conditioner recently for $99 at futureshop. Works great for one bedroom. My room was like a freezer.

[Roto13]

Apparently my husband bought an air conditioner from Walmart's website this morning. I didn't ask how powerful it was, but it's for the bedroom and our bedroom isn't that big so whatever it is, I'm sure it's enough.

I would love to get a model train of an old Toronto streetcar for my mom's Christmas village setup.

5000 BTU seems to be the minimum and that's about all you need for a bedroom.


I think after I get back from my trip to Calgary I'm gonna pick up a cheap $99 one.

[Flash]

The line ups were short I hope. I went on the weekend 2 weeks ago. It was pure madness with lines.

line ups were pretty awesome. This was the first time I've gone in about 4 years and the wait times were much shorter than I ever remembered. Things like vortex usually took hours to go on but this time around it only took 15 minutes.

p.s. LEVIATHAN IS FUCKING AWESOME!

Nah, you're not the only one loving this weather. It's great! It's weird though. I'll gladly spend all day outside in "30 feels like 40" weather and not really notice it too much as long as I stay out of the sun, but once it starts hitting 26-27 inside it starts getting to me.

[Supermanisdead]

After so much procrastination, I started running again yesterday and I almost died. Today I'm considering just treadmilling it, but I really prefer outdoor running.

At least try to wait until after 8pm. The weather and air will agree with you much more.

Stet is banned?!

I hope it's temp... :'(

Probably from the deadbeat dad thread. Looks like he was really getting into it with some people.

edit: Stet says the ban is a month for the ranting in the thread above. He wants kraftwerk to know he loves him and that he'll never miss the meetup. Come talk to him in irc.wiicafe.com channel #toronto-age

Okay, thanks to the information in this thread:

I am finally going to ditch Rogers.
I heard Teksavvy was having growing pains regarding speeds lately, have they been taking care of that or will it be a whole other set of problems if/when I switch to them?

They won't let you sign up if there's 'no room' in your area, so you won't have problems if you do switch to them. The best way to find out if they're accepting new clients in your area is to e-mail, or call them. They're usually pretty responsive. The fellas at dslreports.com can usually give you some good advice too.

Cool, hopefully it comes back soon. I'm mostly worried about the $50 of meat we just bought thats sitting in the fridge.

Just be thankful it's not 2pm and 42 outside.

Yeah. No shit. Although if it had happened then we likely would be with my parents until it came back. Right now I'm just thankful for the occasion cool breeze from the window.

CONSERVATION IDEAS FROM TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM Typically you use nearly 50% of your electricity for heating and cooling. So in the summer try to keep your thermostat at 26 degrees Celsius. In the winter, aim for 22 degrees Celsius.*
