hey i literally died yesterday from heat stroke, like I'm posting from hades right now. those people have nothing to complain about.

Yeah, being flooded out of your home and having everything you own destroyed is a walk in the park compared to a bit of heat stroke :rolleyes:
 
Here in Pennsylvania it's been hot (around 95F). I can't imagine what it is like in Florida if it's that hot here.

With regards to the rain in the UK you should blame the ocean currents. You guys have the same problem as the Northwest US. But look on the bright side. The same ocean currents that bring you the rain also make sure you have mild winters. If you live here or in New York or New England and you learn to hate snow very quickly.

The changeover to wireless increased the judgement of the dead tenfold so I wouldn't expect ice to last too long there.

But everybody has to use crappy underpowered notebooks with exploding batteries and wireless gear that drops connections repeatedly.

I think current etiquette limits the number of puns in one thread to 3. Come on guys, let's not be rude here.
