Keeping Your Apartment Cool in the Summer Time?

Posted by Cliff on from the keeping-your-air-temp-in-the-comfort-zone dept.

uvince asks: "Sure, the air is on all day at work, but when you are at home and it warms up (as the west coast is now) what do you do when a fan just won't cut it? Do you install a swamp cooler, set out a standing air conditioner, or install some air conditioner that fits in the window. How can I keep my apartment, or at least my bedroom cool? Anyone have any creative, green ideas?"

    preferably with a hot chick who will invite you over to spend the night at her (air-conditioned) apartment!

    Do you even lift?

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    I've seen ads on TV for breath mints that apparently turn everything in their vicinity to ice. I'm not sure I understand the science behind this phenomenon, but maybe with a little experimentation you might be able to harness this strange power for your own needs.

    Good luck!

    or get an apartment with AC.

    Naw, AC is too much of a troll. Can you imagine living with him? Of course the frost piss will cool things down somewhat.
