So ... um ... how are they going to stop the footballers at the World Cup in Qatar dying when playing football in the height of summer?

So ... um ... how are they going to stop the footballers at the World Cup in Qatar dying when playing football in the height of summer?

Here's what Qatar's government said:

"The event has to be organized in June or July. We will have to take the help of technology to counter the harsh weather. We have already set in motion the process. A stadium with controlled temperature is the answer to the problem. We have other plans up our sleeves as well."

Eh, low humidity, makes it more tolerable. :P

I mean shit, last summer we had a drought covering most of America, my area would go for days at 100-110 F. Which is 37.78 to 43.33 Celsius. =S

I saw an Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper concert on one of the worst days last summer, was 110 F and I nearly fainted at the concert. Well, I guess I pretty much did, I just never completely blacked out.

Granted I always have issues at concerts. :P I get dehydrated easily at them and all the smoked AFFECTS ME. lol

What is this Air Con you keep talking about? Is it similiar to our heat-expelling radiators? Because I have three of those in my room.

Well, we have A/C. Do you not? O.o

My backyard is covered in ice 8 months out of the year. Our AC involves a window.

I have two windows. Not sure what I would need an A/C for.

[Evil Inside]

Screw these next few days, I mean honestly.

Today it is 86 F/30 C, feels like 100 F/37.78 C, with 70%~ humidity.
Tuesday 90 F, should be even more humid.
Wednesday 91 F, even more humid than Tuesday.
Thursday 93 F, and likely even more humid.

Friday it will drop 1 or 2 degrees and severe storms should hit in the evening.

Psht. And you guys complain about 77 F and 100% humidity. GOML

Suck it up princess. We regularly get such temps during summer, hell we had 47 degrees in January which was the hottest day in recorded history.

OT:

My laptop is officially going bye bye, it served me well for these 3 years but the fan decided to completely stop working >.>

Is this thread ever on-topic then? Anyway, just replace the fan

Haha probably not. Nah I decided just to get a new one, the fan is connected to the heatsink which is shared between cpu/gpu. I couldn't find a replacement for a reasonable price so I decided to just get a new laptop. Bought this one, fairly reasonable price plus $99 cashback. It's only for light use anyway so I dont need anything more expensive.

A/C isn't as popular in the EU as it is in the US. US is filled with pussies. Suck it up!

When I get my own place it is getting A/C. I might be a pussy because of this, but I won't be sweating my balls off.

To remain on topic: it will be computer controlled somehow

[Majesticii]

Hm, isn't there some way i can use my Intel HD4600 when i'm just doing desktop shit? And that it switches to the 670 when i'm going to play games. Like nvidia optimus for desktops..? Seems like a wasted oppertunity for powersaving.

[Xuvial]

670 uses 14-15w at idle. That workload will simply be transferred over to your HD4600, making your CPU work little harder and increasing it's wattage by a similar amount as a result.

The power has gotta come from somewhere, unless you're interested in breaking the laws of thermodynamics. I'm still working on "the device".

[Majesticii]

Hm, thought it'd be more than that idle. I guess there's no point to it then.

rofl. I never said I couldn't handle it. It was more a "hey Swedes complaining about 25 Celsius... have some real heat."

I'm used to this shit. :P Past few summers we have had multiple days over 100 F before you factor in the heat index/feels like temp, much less people like me who wear dark/black colored clothing and have dark colored cars both on the exterior and interior.

No, what I can't stand, is when we have these stupid -30 F days in the winter. Which we have had, absolutely retarded.

Also, replace the fan? There are websites that have warehouses that stock laptop parts for any number of old and new laptops!

Also, OT... is not needed here. This is chat zone. It's for computer forum regs to banter. :P

[BicycleMafioso]

Pff, we had 27°C today. Way too hot.
And that is the summer heat. And I can barely sleep at all in it.
