Re: sure is quiet

[John]

I don't often offer criticism because my own photography isn't that great. And I 
don't much care to be a "me too" ...


Which is hard sometimes, because y'all have probably figured out by now, I have 
an opinion on just about everything, and I'm not shy about expressing them.

Cold, rainy and boring. Hence the pictures of jars of spices.

I rarely have my computer on nowadays. I really don't use it unless I 
have pictures to develop. Consequently, I am doing things like reading 
my email on my phone. I don't do well sending emails from my phone.

Pffft! Try , 1975, by Maestro Mose 
Allison himself. It wasn't much later than that when I spent an evening with 
some friends at Gatsby's in Sausalito while himself performed a solo suite of 
his work: this, a most probably canonical rendition of of Parchman Farm, and 
cetera et so on.

I agree. I rarely get comments from strangers on Facebook, since my posts are 
“friends only.” I try to participate here, but it’s rare that I get meaningful 
comments or more than two. You are an exception, and I always appreciate your 
comments.

Re: sure is quiet

Tooo quiet… A bit more than half the number of posts we had during the same 
week last year.

It’s become unusual to get more than two or three comments on a photo (or 
series of them). This makes me sad, because this group has helped make my 
photography what it is (for better or worse?).

According to pdml.net there are 527 of us. Where is everyone?

Not entirely true.

When my girlfriend and I were caravan touring in North Wales
(with an itinerary set from information in the Good Beer Guide)
we ended up at one pub which was basically just the front room
of a house; beer was obtained via a hatchway to the kitchen
where there were a couple of casks sitting on a shelf.
The pub was a couple of miles up a hill (along a very narrow
road; there wouldn't have been anywhere to turn round).
When we walked in we got some very suspicious looks - not
only were we strangers, but one was a woman!  (the only other
woman there was the person serving the drinks). When we asked
for two pints you could sense the tension in the room subside.

The thing about being cold is, it's easy to stay warm - put on more clothes.
If you're too hot, how do you cool down? I had the fan on, water spraying,
everything. I felt ill and couldn't function.

So the answer is to simply feel ill for a week and do nothing?



Spraying water probably didn't help. Raises the humidity instead of lowering it.

At high humidity levels sweat just pools and doesn't provide any cooling effect 
from evaporation.


Get a portable DE-humidifier.

Re: Quiet List

[John]

Hah!

30C -35C (86F - 95F) ain't a heatwave. That's just what we call SUMMER 
(July/August) around here.


It depends on the humidity as well as what you're used to.

I've got window units that keep the house at 80F (26.6C) with the humidity 
between 40% - 50% in here.


Any less humidity is bad for the wood in my guitars.

A couple of floor fans to move the air around helps. Moving air takes sweat away 
more efficiently, so you don't notice the heat as much.


And down where Igor lives (Ft Hood is about 90 miles as the crow flies) it 
regularly tops out over 100F (37.7C) and the humidity hit 100% every day in 
July/August when I was there.

Holy moly. Anything over 25 is murder for us!

I've got 2 portable AC units and during the recent heatwave here (temps 30-35
daily for over a week) they were both being used, one in my home office all
day and the other to cool the bedroom down in the evening (temps drop back to
about 20 at night). The Mrs and I felt awful during the excess heat and
prevents us from functioning properly. The AC was essential for us. Global
warming or not.

Re: Quiet List

You are right to do whatever keeps her comfortable.  That is your principal
function in life.  

I get frustrated because my wife goes out to the pool patio, gets hot, then
comes inside and turns the a/c temp down.  In a few minutes, I find her
wrapped in a blanket because she now is chilly.  So I turn the temp up a
bit.

The key p[oint is always listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed.

RE: Quiet List

[jcoyle]

Bob has a point about house design.  Here in Queensland, where we put on 
sweaters below 20C, the traditional house was built with wide and shaded  
verandas and with plenty of windows you could open to allow air circulation.  
In addition, often there would be a central corridor with doors at both ends to 
promote even more airflow, and often built on stilts ("highset" is the term).   
Nowadays, of course, all that has been thrown out of the window, and most 
modern housing is either apartment blocks or brick veneer "lowset" houses with 
no veranda at all, and set on a concrete pad with no underfloor circulation!  
Brick veneer buildings have an outer skin one brick wide and are timber framed 
inside, so almost no insulation unless they are filled with plastic foam.
In our winter right now, yesterday the temperature range was 9-28, today the 
forecast is 14-24, so I'll be wearing a light jumper!

Re: Quiet List

I have two large central air conditioning units, one for the upper floor  and 
another for the main floor and lower level. They are both set to maintain 71 
degrees F, which they can do when outdoor temps hit 90 while running only  a 
couple of hours a day. The house is well insulated and shaded by trees for much 
of the day. July saw at least ten days of 90 degree weather. My electric bill 
was about $200. Our stove and ovens are electric as well. My wife has severe 
allergies and is totally miserable in summer without AC. Each unit is fitted 
with an electrostatic air cleaner and accordion filter, so they reduce 
allergens significantly.

Sorry but I don't understand that way of thinking.

By those terms, in the middle of winter, I should only use the central heating 
up to a certain point and just 'make do' while shivering in the cold.

I use a portable air conditioner, which uses a fan and a compressor requiring 
electricity. We live in a modest 2.5 bedroom house built in the 1980s which is 
fairly energy efficient. The upstairs gets very hot (even with curtains closed 
and signs on the window saying 'fuck off hot weather') and prevents proper 
sleeping patterns, leading to inability to cope. I put it on up there for a 
couple of hours to cool the room down to match the outside temps so we can at 
least sleep better.

My father use to (and still does) say things like

>It's not our normal climate here and right-thinking people should be
>horrified at the idea of using AC in this country.

I point out to him that both Adolf Hitler and Donald J Trump were clearly 
right-thinking people. I'm obviously not.

I will now quietly fuck back off to my decadent lifestyle.

Good evening.

We live smack in the very centre of a city of one million, with outside
walls about half a meter thick. Once this building has heated up, it
stays hot day and night even after the heatwave has ended. Outside
temperatures rarely fell below 25 deg c at night, during the last two
weeks. Daytime highs were up to 37 c.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on temperatures, inside and
out. Open all windows as soon as it's cooler outside and close them as

the windows to keep the sun out.

Take lukewarm, not cold, showers. Don't drink liters of ice-cold stuff
straight from the fridge. A light T-shirt soaks up and evaporates sweat
and keeps you cooler than none at all.

Get up earlier than usual and use the cooler morning hours to do

I'll be 66 in a few weeks, about a meter too short for my weight and not

The thing about being cold is, it's easy to stay warm - put on more clothes. If 
you're too hot, how do you cool down? I had the fan on, water spraying,

Relax, Godfrey. I was only pulling your leg. I completely agree with 
your erudite discourse. Here, in the Limpopo Lowveld, we have warm to 
very hot conditions all the year round. We do much as you do. Firstly, 
having lived here for 46 years we are well acclimatized & dress 
accordingly and, secondly, electricity is rather expensive. They way 
they built houses here in the early days with normal high pitched roofs 
& their accompanying air space was silly - flat roofed houses with a 
small air space would have been much more appropriate. I doubt if any 
houses here are double glazed but reflective solar film on the glass is 
often used.

Alan,

I'm not sure how running my air-conditioner for a few hours through the night 
can contribute to the heat wave. It could conceivably contribute to the 
brown-outs or power losses, but the trivial amount of power that my 28000 BTU 
AC consumes over the course of the year isn't going to influence the weather by 
enough to matter.

I don't use it the way many people do … running their AC continuously all 
season long. It's the first time this year I've run either of the AC units in 
the condominium, to counteract the way the concrete walls of the building have 
soaked up heat and were re-radiating it indoors. Since Sunday, I've only 
powered them up for a couple of hours to maintain a comfortable 84° interior 
temperature, and they'll likely go off for the rest of the season after this 
heat wave passes.

Oh yes, and I turn them off during peak energy hours since I really don't need 
them that much and my place doesn't re-warm all that quickly due to the 
double-pane, thermally insulating windows and such I've installed. Get the 
place down to 81-85°F with the windows closed and on a 100°F day the heat rise 
takes seven hours to reach parity with the outdoor ambient temperature. The key 
to economical, conservationally proper use of power (and keeping the price 
down) is to keep down the heat soak into furnishings in the interior which we 
couldn't manage the other day without power to provide the AC. Most of the 
energy we expended the other night was to get the chairs, sofa, bed, etc cooled 
off as evening ground and wall temperatures drop those pretty quickly to 
comfortable levels after the sun goes down.

Re: Quiet List

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Alan, 

I'm not sure how running my air-conditioner for a few hours through the night 
can contribute to the heat wave. It could conceivably contribute to the 
brown-outs or power losses, but the trivial amount of power that my 28000 BTU 
AC consumes over the course of the year isn't going to influence the weather by 
enough to matter. 

I don't use it the way many people do … running their AC continuously all 
season long. It's the first time this year I've run either of the AC units in 
the condominium, to counteract the way the concrete walls of the building have 
soaked up heat and were re-radiating it indoors. Since Sunday, I've only 
powered them up for a couple of hours to maintain a comfortable 84° interior 
temperature, and they'll likely go off for the rest of the season after this 
heat wave passes. 

Oh yes, and I turn them off during peak energy hours since I really don't need 
them that much and my place doesn't re-warm all that quickly due to the 
double-pane, thermally insulating windows and such I've installed. Get the 
place down to 81-85°F with the windows closed and on a 100°F day the heat rise 
takes seven hours to reach parity with the outdoor ambient temperature. The key 
to economical, conservationally proper use of power (and keeping the price 
down) is to keep down the heat soak into furnishings in the interior which we 
couldn't manage the other day without power to provide the AC. Most of the 
energy we expended the other night was to get the chairs, sofa, bed, etc cooled 
off as evening ground and wall temperatures drop those pretty quickly to 
comfortable levels after the sun goes down. 

Yes, I do think about all these things. :D

Local news in Michigan reported that Death Valley temperature and that it was

Things appear to be a lot livelier, over here, rising infection numbers
notwithstanding. We're enjoying our first somewhat cooler day after a
two-week heatwave with max temps of 37 deg c. It's 'only' 26 deg c now.

I've been playing around with two cheap microphones
over the weekend and this is what I've recorded outside my street-side
windows:

1. Saturday afternoon, people sitting in front of the café and the Greek
restaurant across our little square, some cars, and a rally of covidiots
around the corner...

2. Same location Sunday around noon, more people, less cars and the
eternal Ferrari poser driving laps around the block...

I was going to suggest that maybe the noise it made was off-putting, but then 
the can opener makes more noise ... although the can opener might be a noise she

Quiet list and soothing weather

[Daniel J. Matyola]

The list seems very quiet of late;  where is everyone?
I took a long weekend trip to Virginia, to attend the memorial service for
one of my college roommates, who was killed recently when a car ran over
his bicycle from behind.  I was also able to visit my nephew and his family
and spend time with an old Marine buddy.

The weather over the past 3-4 days has been a welcome relief, cool and
sunny, after weeks of hot steamy and violent weather.

It looks like Britain is experiencing tropical weather than the usual
cloudy, damp and wet conditions:
