It's pretty low humor. After watching it a few times my daughter told me she understands why I like it so much. She's accused me of being one of the writers (mainly for Archer himself, neither of us have a sarcasm filter).

Does anyone know a convinent way to cool down a electric fan that's been running for nearly half a month and has nearly reached 90°C? Its so damn hot that i have to use it even at night because its still too hot to sleep comfortably. .-.

I've been making tissue wet (just a bit) and just stick them to the hottest part and it cools rather slowly..

Get rid of the ventilator and try other forms of cooling. The Ventilator does only move warm air around in the worst case. That it reaches 90°C is a sign that it is about to fail anyway.

Another fan fanning the fan? And maybe another fan fanning the fan that is fanning the fan? Eventually another fan fanning the fan of the fan that is fanning the fan?
Or do the hot shower-pyjamas and pillow in the fridge-wet towel kind of thing, but that is dependent on how fast you can sleep (cold pillow/pyjamas will only work for a few minutes).

I've tried a wet towel which works just a bit better, still i'd like to attach some sort of radiator to this thing.... :lol:

Oh, man, PhantomCruiser is gonna be devastated that she'd do such a thing...

Saw Oblivion today. It was pretty good. Not the least predictable of plots, but not the most, either. It played its genre very well, I think, with a few twists. Visually impressive, too. Also used its one allowed F-bomb very effectively.

Some "news" channels simply amaze me...

But then again, sometime the captioning can make for funny reading. I'm not sure that English is always the primary language of whoever is typing that stuff in...

But I'm always going to love my Zooey

I'm going to miss my ethernet connection next semester.

Remember some other lessons from IMS

a) cooling equipment produces heat.
b) cooling equipment is designed to move heat to someplace else.

Point a is very nicely demonstrated by your fan ranking up critical temperatures.
As for point b, ask yourself if it's actually moving heat outside or not. If not, it's making the situation worse. Adding a fan to cool the fan to cool the fan etc. will make it a lot worse, unless you can get the heat outside of the room.

What about trying this?

I know that they use this for cooling a brewery in Malta... mostly by architecture, letting warm air rise and suck cold air into the building.

22.5 years have now passed since the reunification... is it over yet? Not yet:

But funny how far you have to travel away to see the tiny details.

..I don't even know where's the "line" that seperated the east and west, which one of those is it...? :lol:

Don't look for a line.

Wait...that color difference...:blink:

Which one is East and West?

north is very much up in the picture.

because West-Berlin was pretty isolated and had to import electricity from the east, they still use 42,500 gas lamps (the gas could be produced from coal if the east should turn hostile again, like during the Berlin blockade) and some new mercury-vapor lamps while the east installed sodium-vapor lights, which have a more orange color.

And now these lights are considered also historic artefacts since some of them are as old as 1906:

There are many traditional signs of the coming of spring (in here it's fog, water droplets on the walls and thunderstorms ), but to me nothing beats the cherry blossom.

(shame that it's difficult to find a holiday to Japan at the right time...)

Arianespace seems to have the best production values when it comes to launch coverage.

I'm not sure if I ought to be offended or not... (\Found in a fire alarm manual...)

It is at least pretty professional. But they also profit from the large EADS PR department. :lol:

The most horrible thing about the map above is that its complexity is less than the railway network in Tokyo and the suburbs - ALONE! :blink:

(and consider that both are missing a few rail lines!)
