Even if that's the case I always thought every house or building had ac in the u.s. unless you was poor.because the highs in Seattle are usually in the 70s.

Lol nah man they should have done it years ago! I could understand a few of those who just moved there and have sincerely tried to get a unit but haven’t been able to. But in that case they are just in a transitional period between places of living and crying about it isn’t going to do any good. Not to mention they could actually just go into the office. But no they’d rather be cry babies about it.Yeah they can just go and rub their crystal ball and get AC in preparation for something like this.
Also, now that the entire PNW is scrambling to get AC in a supply chain shortage for appliances across the globe they can just "get a window unit" ASAP very good insight. why didn't they think of that

I literally shared the article minutes ago where Canada was seeing 49.5C Temp (122 F).
And saying Covid was a test to see if earth can work together at the next boss battle, Climate change. Not textbook anymore, this is happening now.
Few cities.... I mean you list them with the fingers in one hand... had temps below 0 Celcius here at Winter... and yes Winter is around 10-15C that is indeed very cold for us and everybody uses cold warm clothing and sleep with several blankets.
I remember a trip to Curitiba almost 10 years when it had the coldest night of the decade that reached -5C... I could not even type my cellphone (I dropped my cellphone several times) on the airport to ask my friend come get me... it was crazy to the point that I believed I won't support so much cold... it was the coldest I ever faced in my life.
In Sao Paulo people dies on the streets when the temps get around 5C.
I am pretty sure people still went to work in British Columbia yesterday. Those Tim Hortons didnt close did they?More than 230 deaths reported in British Columbia amid historic heat wave | CNN
More than 230 deaths have been reported in British Columbia since Friday as a historic heat wave brought record-high temperatures, officials said Tuesday. The province’s chief coroner called it an “unprecedented time.”www.cnn.com
Guess they should have gone to the office.
% of AC in residential buildings is more likely to be correlated to average temp than household wealth. We haven't needed it before but I suspect that's going to change.how is AC rare in the UK?
i thought they were first world status?
It's currently 20C here (just checked the temp) and we're in the summertime. (time 17.10)Few cities....

Completely forgot and very happy about that.FYI Bungie doesn't work on Halo
That is basically our WinterHere in uk
Seriously too hot. Melting. Remember making a stop in dallas in September. Nearly passed out.
What does people dying from being outside too long in huge heat have to do with commuting to work and working in an AC office?More than 230 deaths reported in British Columbia amid historic heat wave | CNN

We are in really strong Winter this year in Brasil.It's currently 20C here (just checked the temp) and we're in the summertime. (time 17.10)
At 10-15C it's not unusual to see people in just t-shirts and shorts still.
For those who dont know. There is a heat wave going on in the U.S Pacific Northwest. Bungie has shutdown production presumably because people are still working from home, and apparently laptops are overheating.
Schreier has taken this opportunity to remind us that Climate Change is real.
I have a completely different take. Make people go back to the offices to work already. If your house doesnt have proper ventilation and your laptop is overheating then get your ass to the office and do your job.
As for Schreier, shouldn't he be looking into why 100 degree weather is preventing video game production at Bungie? Temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees in some parts of the U.S. No one complains. Every office building in the world is equipped to handle those temperatures. Game development is already pretty unproductive with very few next gen games releasing in the next couple of years, everything getting delayed left and right, and we are going to blame it all on climate change now?
I think us millennials are unfairly blamed for a lot of things, but not working because it's too hot has to be the most snowflake thing I have ever heard. It's not like we are out there laying brick in 100 degree weather.
Been raining up here in Sunderland. Saying that, the Alexa under our carport overheated and shut down a few days ago, had to put it in the fridge.Here in uk
Seriously too hot. Melting. Remember making a stop in dallas in September. Nearly passed out.
People die of literally anything. If we couldn't laugh at anything because it's deadly to humans then there would be no humor left in the world.People are laughing about this, but people are dying because of this heat wave. This shit is not funny.
"From being outside too long?" I didn't see that part in the article.What does people dying from being outside too long in huge heat have to do with commuting to work and working in an AC office?
There's millions of people in BC (and US NW) still going about life working, shopping, driving and commuting to work.
He hates gamers.Confirmed:
Schreier still a douchebag with an agenda.
A couple of our developers took the day off too, citing the heat in their house made it impossible to work.
Maybe it's because I'm from the south, where even $400 a month apartments have air conditioning, but it seems unfathomable to me that a person making $100k a year would not have air conditioning, even in Oregon or Washington.
At some point, you're responsible for paying for basic work from home necessities, like clothes and reliable internet, I would argue that having a working space that wasn't 115 degrees would be on there as well.
Laughs in Florida.
It's why in Florida it is wise to have a standing or window unit as back up just in case of central air outage.I'm in Florida too and there are two things that fuck me up:
1). AC goes out
2.) Internet goes out
I've spent thousands on AC repair and replacement over the years. I don't mind it that hot outside for activities but not in my house.
I bet most of these people don't have cars considering how excellent Seattle's public transit is. The trains can bring you in from* the east, buses and light rail in the city proper. I mean if you want to belittle someones work you could say something like, "Imagine thinking working at best buy was tough labor, try planting trees all summer in south Texas for work". Do you understand how dismissing other people's experiences isn't helpful?I have worked during record breaking temperatures before and unlike these guys, I had to take buses, subways and walk 15 minutes just to get to and from work. I remember not wearing my Bestbuy jersey to work because I would be drenched by the time I got to work. So I would change into my uniform after I got there.
But this is about Bungie's management. Not devs in general. If their infrastructure cant handle a little heat then wtf. If devs cant work from home because they dont have AC then get them in the office. It's about management instead of coddling devs who are literally sitting at home working on laptops.
I don't think it has EVER gotten above 90F until the last 3 or 4 years.Yeah, average, but what about those days where it reaches up into the 90s?
so, still I say: Get a window unit ya idiots
49c ?! fucking whatCanada getting hit by 49C heat at the minute. That would fucking boil me to my Viking bones. Nearly expired in Sorrento during a heatwave almost touching 40C, had to hide in a church.
Lol ok you can take your doom and gloom and go back to eraI bet most of these people don't have cars considering how excellent Seattle's public transit is.

To everyone laughing about how they can't handle it and it's so much hotter where you live, it's coming for us all.
I can promise you that 99.99% of offices, restaurants, small businesses, fast food chains and construction workers did not stop working because of record temperatures. Just like how they continued working through the pandemic. The fast food places didnt have the luxury to work from home either.They do not work personally for you.
They need to be safe first, so they may still need to work from home.
They stopped working cause the computers are overheating and the servers are failing, not because of the lack of AC.
Climate change is real and it is affecting us, it will get worse.
You, complaining about this, in this tone, IS the most millennial thing ever.
Dude, the winter storm that happened here was absolutely no joke for this state. Even for the large cities. So many people suffered and passed because they had no power for so long, and their town or city were not used to such things whatsoever. It was completely fucked.The Seattle area only has 1 in every 3 homes with Air Conditioning. They have never needed AC really because of the climate. This 116 degree weather is not normal, so obviously they weren't prepared.
It's the same shit but inversed for what happened here in Texas in February with the freeze. The infrastructure wasn't designed to accommodate it.
Shitty jokes and saying people can just work on Destiny 2 in a coffee shop are idiotic.
... are you okay?My condo is literally full choke of dying swift everywhere because of the hot, it looks like some egyptian plague where dead animals falls from the sky...
Yeah, i'm not a swift.... are you okay?
Tech companies are currently set up to work from home in the Seattle area.. people have brought home monitors, machines, even servers.. chairs, even desks in some cases.I am pretty sure people still went to work in British Columbia yesterday. Those Tim Hortons didnt close did they?
This is why every state needs adequate heating and cooling. The opposite happened this year in Texas with the big freeze. No more "we don't need to weatherize for summer/winter". Every house in every state needs AC, and every state needs adequate winterization of their electrical grid. Climate change is putting all of us in the shit.People are laughing about this, but people are dying because of this heat wave. This shit is not funny.
'a little heat'?I have worked during record breaking temperatures before and unlike these guys, I had to take buses, subways and walk 15 minutes just to get to and from work.
