    Do the hospitals not have air conditioning?!?!

      I went to a popular hardware store here, earlier today (B&Q).
      Even their air conditioners broke. There were people trying to repair them.

      Madness. The buildings here keep heat in.

    It’s no wonder, my 8 year old PC’s PSU blew up last month when we had those 2 hot days, I can’t imagine the state of their equipment.
