  8. blueya, we need ACs asap
  9. phalethACs are bad for your health, we have them at work and I hate them already
  10. phaleththe hot weather has been going on for too long this year
  11. blueya well, I grew up in israel, where without acs you die, and this is the longterm fate of europe, I prefer not to die :P
  12. blueat work btw we don't have acs
  13. bluewe have like 'water' cooling or a similar trick that germans invented. basically they run cold water through the ceiling, it's supposed to do something, I haven't noticed it ever does
  14. phalethI was recently on a business trip in like northern germany and was surprised to see people working in the office with no AC
  15. blueyeah
  16. blueI also can't imagine it's healthy for the ceiling to be running water through it, though what do I know
  17. bluewhere did you visit? hamburg?
  18. phalethin paderborn

  21. blueyeah NRW is still not considered north germany in most cases
  22. phalethhamburg is still like way south I think, but what do I know about germany
  23. blueno no, you're mistaken. paderborn is way closer to frankfurt than hamburg
  24. phalethah, ok
  25. bluepaderborn is around 300km north west of frankfurt
  26. blueand almost 500km south west of hamburg
  27. blueor mostly south, almots entirely south
  28. phalethbut hamburn is like 300km away from paderborn too, or so I've heard
  29. phalethhamburg*
  30. bluegoogle maps says, it's 250km, 2.5 hours by car, to frankfurt

  48. blueI've never been to prague, although I've meant to visit many times

  50. blueI passed through prague once, flying to germany, changing there
  51. blueflew with a czech airline, was a really good flight
  52. phalethprague is not too bad, the cost of living is kind of high, but whatever
