Random Rants 3

I heard it was the best one. The soundtrack also is deversified for those who only get their music from the game in prior editions.

GH2 was the best one. Lots of familiar Metal, one of Nirvana's greatest songs, things were good.

 

[Angst]

I'm so damn bored (and tired)

 

[jeps]

I;m going to be INCREDIBLY hung over tomorrow morning.

and its not even sunday/monday...

 

[GuitarHero]

I rant that I have one of the worst hangovers I've ever had.

 

[Slaughter]

I've lived on the equator for 18 years. I think I can handle 35C weather at 99% humidity.

35º at 99%?

Lightweights...

I HATE WINTER!!! I'm FREEZING!!!

I HATE WINTER!!! I'm FREEZING!!!

How cold is it, exactly?

 

[Mirc]

How cold is it, exactly?

-2 C, but it's so windy that you can barely walk. Add the snow falling from trees in small pointy frozen "drops" and you've got the paradise we have here.

 

[zxcvbnm]

That's nothing, here we can have -50 C and 30 m/s wind

Wow where do you live?

I'm in North Carolina now and its only like 50 F or I'm guessing 20 C. Though the wind is pretty fierce.

North Carolina?

I thought you lived in Singapore

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

North Carolina?

I thought you lived in Singapore

No I live in Dallas, I was born and raised in Singapore and am in vacation in North Carolina.

In the latitudes of Alaska, Greenland and Hudson Bay (northern part) (between 60 and 70 N)

Damn, are you far north enough that you get long periods of day and night?

Now that's cold!

 

[GuitarHero]

I live in northern Norway. Can't tell you the temp, though.

The coldest we had here last year was -19... still that's crazy. I couldn't survive there.

The absolute coldest in Romania was about 9 years ago, -29, that's except for the mountains, where it's harder to measure it since there aren't permanent settlements on top of mountains.

Still, believe me even -2 can be really annoying if the wind makes it almost impossible to walk against it.

and

Living just south of the Polar Circle, the sun can be seen any day of the year but at 21th december it stays up only for a couple of hours.

But no need to go very much north (from here) to get weeks of perpetual darkness or light.

-50 C was the cold record, but -40 C is relatively common. 25 m/s winds blow quite often on the tops of treeless fells and 32-35 was the record.


But to ranting, the global warming is taking those freezing colds away from me, now it's +2 C

Do you get to see Auroras daily?

 

[zxcvbnm]

Do you get to see Auroras daily?

That's a myth, they can be seen about weekly (the sky needs to be clear and the air must be quite cold) here at the coldest winter if it's the right year.
