What sort of thermometer is it? It's not a cooking one (doesn't go up high enough).

Also how old is it (because they do loose their accuracy over time - some of them by quite a lot). Also what was it being held over (i.e. was it over concrete or similar substance which will radiate a lot of stored heat)?

Not doubting you - just saying there is a lot which can affect temperature readings.

Its hotter than it man. I've never been this hot in Whangas before. Its very similiar to the heat in darwin, less intense, but up there. Muggy as fuck.

Its one that was on a gnome.

Dunno how long ago the china man made it.

on the window on the opposite side of the building to the sun, put it on the ledge to get a photo of it.

I'm not claiming my readings are accurate. What i'm claiming is that me, with a thermometer off some random gnome, does a better job at reading the temperature in WHANGAREI than all of jim hickeys bum chums down at MET.

I have no faith in your Made In Asscrackistan thermometer. I want you to journey around the region of Whangarei with reliable equipment and take multiple readings and present your data as a series of graphs and tables.

Gentl e · 17th February 2010, 15:34

You need to put it on your head and take a photo so we know it's the real thing cause I'm calling fake at this stage.

How is it that your thermometer does a better job of reading the temperature than the Met Service. Because you believe it does? Fuck man, that's some Lightspeed logic there.

I know what 26 degrees feels like. Its hotter than fucking 26 degrees.

It feels more like 34 degrees, which is closer to 38 than 26, making my readings more fucking accurate.

They got you good, didn't they? If the man says it's true, it must be true right? Regardless of any subjective experience or evidence to the contrary, Big Bro is always right, huh?

Warrick · 17th February 2010, 15:40

@ RQ Sounds like you're not taking into account the humidity. I was at the Auckland domestic airport about an hour ago, the board said 27 degrees. Came back to work, checked MET and it said "26.8 degrees, feels like 30 degrees"

I can't remember sweating so much, EVER. It's so fucking hot out there atm.

Reformed_Quint · 17th February 2010, 15:41

MET says its 25.4 degrees but feels like 26...

Sure sure, but you're the same guy who has trouble with Imperial measurements. So uhh...

Like I said, Lightseed logic.

Lightspeed · 17th February 2010, 15:45

Shit, what can I say? I used to listen a lot of Tool - "Think for yourself, question authority."

@ RQ I reckon you should write a letter to your local MP, that's not on.

Thomas Meatball · 17th February 2010, 15:48

It's not just that, it's the mentality of "I believe my beliefs! I just know they're believable!"

I belive my beliefs because the belief that it is 26 degrees is unbelievable

Actually, the logic you allude to only applies to a very narrow and specific set of beliefs.

Otherwise I constantly try and identify and challenge my beliefs. Beliefs such as "I believe what the weatherman tells me is true and is beyond question, regardless of evidence or experience to the contrary."

Put off a site visit so i can sit in the AC, a shame its shit and i'm still sweating. Argh, exercise this afternoon is going to rape me.

Redneck · 17th February 2010, 16:55

How about this heat, eh?

Markh · 17th February 2010, 18:25

Heat?

I'm sitting in ball soup here!

p01s0n · 17th February 2010, 19:10

its fucking raining in wellington.
fuck the weather for this region this year, srs.

but its ok, wellington owns so hard it makes up for it. in fact, wellington is well in credit for ownagedollars.

Warrick · 17th February 2010, 19:41

my cock was stuck to my balls when i got home from work today, i literally peeled it off.

chiQ · 17th February 2010, 22:09

It's too muggy. I went for a drive this afternoon and my windscreen iced up on the outside from the AC cooling the glass. As soon as I turned it off the ice buggered off and the inside fogged up. Crazy.

YAY!

I like to be called awesome. I had a client call me a star this morning, and now I'm awesome too. It makes up for the humidity.

Fuck Woosh and their fucking bullshit. They are still experiencing the "bug" where their usage system is charging people data at the start of the month when that data has not been used. They are still refusing to notify their customers of this, and make no attempt to inform them of this when they call up asking questions and requiring usage top ups

not really, but it felt fucking good. my routine after getting home from work is to strip naked, stand in front of the fan with it positioned at my privates and just let out a big "AHHhhhhHhhhhhh" as it cools me down. Today's peel was the best in a long time though, it was fucking hot in Auckland.
