- 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
- blueat work btw we don't have acs
- 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
- phalethI was recently on a business trip in like northern germany and was surprised to see people working in the office with no AC
- blueyeah
- blueI also can't imagine it's healthy for the ceiling to be running water through it, though what do I know
- bluewhere did you visit? hamburg?
- phalethin paderborn
- blueoh, NRW
- blueyeah NRW is still not considered north germany in most cases
- phalethhamburg is still like way south I think, but what do I know about germany
- blueno no, you're mistaken. paderborn is way closer to frankfurt than hamburg
- phalethah, ok
- bluepaderborn is around 300km north west of frankfurt
- blueand almost 500km south west of hamburg
