ok i know its about the A/C article, not about the jeans article, but seriously:

” For men, sartorial good taste can be reduced to one rule: If Fred Astaire would not have worn it, don’t wear it. For women, substitute Grace Kelly. ”

Who the FUCK is Fred Astaire?

@Michael Vick’s Kennel Klub: You’re in Dallas… 5 hours north of me. San Antonio has been above 100 for two straight weeks. I get where you’re coming from.

@Joe Klein: “mid-70s, sunny, with an exquisite whisper of breeze.” Yeah, I get it. You know what we call this weather in South Texas? CHRISTMAS. No, I don’t run my A/C in December. Nor do I run my heater. Brick house + high of 75 = comfortable house.

I start using my A/C around the beginning of March and don’t stop using it until after Thanksgiving. It gets so cold in my apartment you could hang meat. And I LOVE it. When people at the office tell me it’s too cold there, I say, “Too bad!” When people complain that my apartment is colder in the summer than in the winter, I tell them “WRONG!DICKHEAD!”. The fact is I like it cold in the winter too.

in 1980, i lived in TX, working my way through high school as a grocery store stocker. i was the guy who unloaded the loose-stocked trucks (no pussy palletized loads for winn dixie; 1200 cases of shit stacked floor to ceiling in a 48′ trailer that had a westward exposure). from 23 june to 3 august, the temperature was 100 degrees above or more every day. took me 4 bottles of gatorade to get through the trailer, the interior temperature of which averaged 130 degrees. the only thing that got me through the evening when i had to throw 2 aisles of stock after unloading the truck was the ac in the store, which the manager had dialed down to 66 degrees.

any fuck who’d write a book but not have the balls to claim it likewise lacks the balls necessary to have ever accomplished any real work in his miserable misspent life. the chattering class can eat shit and die; mr klein goes first.

“A lot of utilities supplement their main power sources with quick-acting oil- or gas-driven generators on the hottest days of the year,” says Lee Schipper of the University of California, Berkeley

Bit late, but this is absolute bullshit. I work for a power company, and this is now how power generation capacity is determined or used.

A power company bases its generating requirement off peak usage plus a certain percentage (usually plus 7%, but this varies by state, as certain states require a bigger surplus in generating capacity, much to power companies’ chagrin.)

This means that during peak times, either in the middle of summer or the middle of winter, customers demand an X amount of power, and power companies have the capacity to generate X+7% power.

Hottest days of the year don’t suddenly require extra capacity, because an air conditioning doesn’t suddenly need more power on a hotter day. It typically just runs longer, but that makes no difference for peak power required. Ergo, the idea that on the hottest days of the year, power companies suddenly start up old shitty diesel engines to generate power is just plain fucking bullshit. The only time such generators would ever come online is if a major portion of their current generating capacity fails, and then those old crappy things ONLY get turned on if they can’t quickly buy the energy from a neighboring grid.

As for why peak power usage is more expensive than off-peak usage, it’s because of SUPPLY AND FUCKING DEMAND, YOU COCKSUCKER FROM BERKELEY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EMERGENCY DIESEL ENGINES, HAMSTER WHEELS, OR MOTHER-IN-LAW-DRIVEN ENERGY BICYCLES THAT HAVE TO BE POWERED UP. SHITCOCK.

WHAT A TWAT … if i’m talking to someone and they mention the words “summer solstice,” i will stomp the fucking shit out of them. if anyone wants to live in south florida for more than five minutes without a/c, they deserve the grisly, heat stroke-y death they will eventually recieve.

@Some Guy: I turn the heat up when people are over. But it does piss me off when it’s fucking 2 degrees out and someone says they’re cold, yet they’re wearing short sleeves. I apologize for coming off as smug.

Let’s not forget that A/C has another benefit besides keeping you cool…it also filters out allergens and make it easier to breathe for those who suffer respiratory ailments. I live in one of the worst places in the country for allergies, and I’m sure a lot of people who live around here would have serious problems if they were to go without their A/C at Joe Klein’s humble request.

Joe Klein needs to get his fuckin’ ass to southern Iraq A.S.A.P.

He would surely shit in his hat and wear it after suffering from brain damage caused by the sun’s(respect IT!!!) scorching hot ass-fire that is on display in Basrah, Bucca, Nasariyah and Tallil.

Fuck you, Joe Klein.

“Joe Klein is pro-legalization of marijuana. So let’s not fuck him entirely.”

And apparently that is the only redeeming idea this cockslot has ever had.

/swampass currently in full effect
//AC set at 78 cause the wife gets cold easily
///if it’s any colder she sleeps in my ass
////FUCK summer in FLA
