This is in regard to the current 28.6.11 (06/28/11) Bombcast mention about the Air conditioning being turned off due to complaints.

What are they doing with all the subscription money if they can't afford some AC?

I'd rather folks be comfortable when they're podcastin'. I've heard all the Whiskey podcasts mention how hot it is in the podcast room lately. Make yourselves comfortable, dudes! Be it AC, a fan, whatever.

They have AC it but its not being used due to complaints from listeners.

They also mentioned that the AC was knocking out the power.

Only two hookers? Do Jeff and Ryan hog them and growl at Brad and Vinny when they try to join in? (Brad would be the only one getting the growls; Vinny would have passed out from the coke by then.)

@Video_Game_King: They're both for Jeff. 
 
And of course they should be allowed to turn on their AC.  God, I feel like such an entitled prick even suggesting that we get any sort of say in that.

In that case, I imagine they'd demand that the hooker call herself Chie. "Eat my fucking steak, Chie! I paid you my third copy of Shenmue, so just eat it!"

They specifically requested a meat eater.

Only it wasn't exactly beef they were talking about.

I didn't realize that the hum was the AC in the first place.  For the past few weeks I have wondered what that was.  Keep that shit on dudes, so long as its not threatening the power.

Meanwhile, Vinny would be trying to cast Bufunt (take a guess), and Brad would put on a Jurassic Park mask and tell his hooker to make vroom noises.

Ryan, after watching Brad fuck up for a while, would just sigh and say "Goddammt, Brad".

I had assumed the complaints were building related (power turning off and such) or noise created in the office.  In any case turn the AC on guys nobody likes to sweat if you don't have to.

I bought a portable AC unit for my computer room a year ago, before that it was a sweatbox every summer.

Fuck man, don't know how I lived without it.

The GB guys can tell anyone who clicks "no" to S a D, and put it on anyways.

Are you guys crazy? AC ON?!?!? WTFrak?!?! You think I pay my hard earned $4.95 a month to listen to people who aren't horribly sweaty and uncomfortable? That's the whole enjoyment of it! I'm sittin there on the bus listenin to the Bomb Squad thinkin... Man, this podcast is great but whats frakkin epic about it is I KNOW for a FACT that these guys are in a small room together and all sweaty. And in the end, isn't that the true meaning of Christmas?

End communication.

The big questions finally getting answers. 
They could just line the corners of the room with small canisters of liquid nitrogen. They'll silently keep the room cool and they probably won't blow up the building.

Like someone else said, not my decision to make. Only the suggestion that low would perhaps be perfect for that room, and whatever power situation exists. And try augumenting it with a fan to increase the circulation.

I voted yes, but how loud is the AC exactly? I can put up with a lot, but if it's as loud as say, sitting next to a furnace, then i don't know. That'd probably distract me a 'lil.

They should turn it on, and should have awhile ago.  I've heard AC in the background, and it's so minimal.

@FluxWaveZ: True, but if the initial choice to turn it off was made because of people writing in to whine about it, perhaps people saying otherwise might let them know it's okay.

If, however, the AC was causing power outages, that's another story.

Would a wide band equalizer fix it? We sort of don't have A/C in my part of the world but I can clean up most dirt that gets caught in my lines, even the loud PC fans this way with negligible impact on the carrier signal.

It's San Francisco. There are 4 days a year where it's really necessary. Lots of retail stores and restaurants there aren't even air conditioned.
