I Hate School!

Kupo!
in Zocalo v2.0
I live in Massachusetts; we just built a new school last year, for about 5.2 Mil, and, in a stroke of [I]geenyus[/I], hired a CALIFORNIA architect to design it. The school is divided into several "zones," and all these zones are temperature controlled separately; teachers cannot adjust the temperature, as it would "throw off the whole zone."
My Computer Programming class is on the 4th (top) floor, jutting out from the rest of the building with windows on 3 sides. This morning, it was JUST UNDER 50 F*CKING DEGREES, and the air conditioning was on. My Math class, which is in the same "zone" but not jutting out, was a comfortable 65. Ummmm.... What?

pussy...
put on some clothes and accept you live in a cold part of the world
that and shoot the architect... :D
my home gets that cold in winter, I simply put on decent warm clothing, eat well and I have no problems
'sides which, with a room that cool your computers will run glitch free..:D
I have no problem with people space heating... what I have a problem with is people cranking thier heaters up till its tropical inside and a blizzard outside. Usually theres no door and window seals and bugger all insulation to top things off nicely. The diffrence of a few degrees in temp is a cubic assload of greenhouse gases...
locally we have the same problem with air-con trying to combat our roaster summers...I walk into some places here and its as cold as a morgue and outside you turn into a raisin in about five minutes...
same deal... people getting soft, burning a bazillion megajoules to keep thier butts in thier extremely narrow comfort range and fucking the planet in the process.
In short...
YA BIG BABY !!!! :D
someone hit it down in the music wing before the weekend and the cold temperatures cost $15k in damages to the string instruments they stored down there.... the wood split because of the cold
COLD = GOOD
WARM / HOT = EXTREMELY BAD
I'm the type that shovels snow in loafers and a t-shirt! :)
Hot, on the other hand, is much harder to control.
You never had to go to St. Thomas More's RC Secondary school. The thing was built in the 1950s where "heating" was just a word in the dictionary. Spending winters there was NOT nice.

Theres no bad weather, theres only bad clothes (it rhymes in swedish)
Accept the situation and deal with it... wimp ;) :)
50 is perfect weather for anything... not too hot to strain yourself, not too cold to... not. Just not perfect weather for programming. :(
although in the summers in florida, no ones going to complain, as that means no cooler then 65*....absolute minimum you can go..
its kinda funny really, As SOON as it hits 70, people start wearing jeans and long sleeves, 65 = sweaters...60 and lower = jackets...
I'm still in shorts... LMAO
[B]I'm one of the freaks that hits the thermostat all the way down....

lol, I went to Florida for a week or two a couple Xmas's back, and people were dying of frostbite on the street... I was wearing as little as possible. I could NEVER live down there...
26-36 * C = Nice
20 to -30 *C = BAD!!!!!!!
I cant stand the cold.
I cant stand winter, Snow is Evil.
[B]Cold is far better than hot. When it's cold, you can put on more, warmer clothes. If that doesn't help enough, you can add a heater/fire.
Hot, on the other hand, is much harder to control. [/B][/QUOTE]
That would bee great if you could stay indoors all winter. But when you got to get to school, you take your car and drives to school. After 6 hours in school you really got a hard time starting the damn car when it's -25C outside.
I'm not saying heat is worse than cold or the other way around, but IMO 6 - 12C is the best temperature.

Agreed. Though, for me it's more like from 4-9C

Considering that the body temperature of an average human being is 37*C and the difference between 37*C and -25*C is 62 degrees, and its much easier to exist in temperatures of -25*C than 99*C (which is 64 degrees hotter than 37*C), Cold is indeed better.
Thus Cold = Good, Hot = Bad.
Does that make me some kind of a freak then?
Had hard time convincing the doctors in army that I had fever at 37C. I guess they finally took the hint when I was taken back with a fever of 40C few days later.
anyone else here have a body that runs at a significantly lower or higher temp than 37.7°C ?
as far as my prefered temp range : 10-28°C, mind you if I'm near a beach or a good swimming pool, upto 38°C, that said of course I don't mind it being cold, maybe not Finnish cold but cold none the less, down into the minuses is ok for atleast a while. It takes a long time for my body to lose heat it seems, I easily outlasted my mates in a bloody cold river, they all got out well before I did.
[I]WARNING : Long 'When I was a boy" story[/I]
And heat wise... heh... I've done fast, hard manual labour stacking hay as it came up the elevator onto a truck. The truck was going so fast that the ground driven bale elevator was throwing the bales up into my hands for me to catch, and it was good lucerne hay (alfalfa) which weighed about 20-22kg a bale. I was standing on top of an unsecured stack of bales five high, on top of the truck, in the rockiest, roughest and highest point for 50 miles around with a gale force hot northerly wind blowing the chaff and straw so hard into my skin it drew blood. It was 38°C in the shade. I drank four litres of water in two hours and I was still a mummifed raisin by 3pm.
Why work in such horrible conditions ? We had a huge storm front moving in and it would have completely destroyed the hay if it was to get soaked. So we brought it in as quick as we could. The storm broke just as we got the truck into the shed with the last load. The first gust nearly tore the roof off the shed and the rain was so heavy on the tin roof we were deafened. The temperature dropped 26°C inside 10 minutes and we had 65mm of rain inside an hour.
From Death Valley to the Scotland in 15 mins. :D
I was out dancing in my boardies in it.
I love storms. ;)
What you just discribed is what I grew up doing. A good portion of life on a farm is just trying to get something done just before the next round of weather hits. I've worked hogs in the poring rain, watched lightening bolts progress across a field that we were harvesting as a storm rolled in, and worked outside when it was so cold that schools were closed.

yet you pass out when mowing lawns in the summer...
[i]This example or reality brought to you by A2597[/i]

I have a friend who's that way, infact her temperature averages about what yours does.

Ahh haa!! Ive done that in reality!
okay its more like sitting in the snow with a sporterized springfield 03 waiting to get a decent shot at an elk, but hell, its close enough.
thank god for my fathers camp coffee.. thick as mud and capable of restarting a stopped heart, or blowing up a still going one.
Ooooh oooh! everybody focuses on how nice warm weather is beause the ladies dress down, but when its chilly, especialy in doors, they are much more prone to snuggling! ;)
what school do you go to?

Ask her if she wants to go out on a date with me then. :D

Hunting deer is nothing like up-close-and-personal melee battle. Perhaps attacking a bear/moose with a hatchet would be similar, but hunting a fairly harmless animal from long range with a rifle? No.

riiight, back to BGII with you.
BGII ROCKS!!!

I had quite a bit of fun today... As any of you who have played BGII before would know, one can become romantically involved with just about any female NPC. Unbeknownst to me, my mom was watching over my shoulder as this happened (no, not that, you sick fool). It's amusing how it's alright for movies or books to be almost pornographic, but the instant you try to console a poor elf over the loss of her wings in a [i]game[/i], it's geeky and disgusting. :rolleyes:
