I am pretty sure our pooch has a bit of pit bull in her, for sure. Her bottom lip has the pittie wrinkles to it. I figure that and some hound/beagle. She's darn smart, that's for sure.
Potentially the longest thread in history...

The reason I asked about the Oujula Board is I seen them advertised on Amazon for as little as £15, I personally have never done one and even then I dont think I would. Stay away from that kinda stuff. It just seemed a bit out their that you could buy them off Amazon for so little given their reputation and I was just curious how you guys thought about it.
Came in to work to find failed AC and a lab with an average temp of 52C 
So one of my current responsibilities is that I manage our support lab which is three large racks of netsec devices and esxi servers, along with some shelves of APs and little routers and other bits and bobs - the team including me use that equipment to replicate customer issues.
The AC in there has been notoriously unreliable, with the circuit tripping every time the outside temp approaches much above 25C. Turns out this is because the AC is a 25A unit sitting on a 20A circuit.
Now, that's a relatively easy upgrade, but because the building manager wants to do a bunch of other upgrades to the electrics I have to wait until all that planning and quoting is done which has taken over a month now and will probably take longer.
That means I have to come in every day that it's hot to make sure I can turn the circuit back on to stop our lab dying from heat!

Sounds like you need an electrician out there.
When I did HVAC work, GM has a transmission research center in Brighton, Mi. It's hidden out of ordinary sight and they require an escort be with you while your inside the building. We did maintenance on their roof top units and one was for their server room, It was a small room but had a large amount of servers in it and tons of wiring. About 12x12 feet. In those days I was not into pc's. Then, mid-80's to early 90's.
We went out there 4 times a year just to make sure everything is kept up and changed filters

I am glad when my nephew added A/C to this old home he added new wiring with a new box just for it. Haven't had any issues with it. Here in Texas any home without A/C is scary. I really don't know how people before A/C lived in this heat! 112+ temps are not good for any person. Arizona has higher temps than that.

I thought those places were barren until they came out with A/C?

Nah, there were wild west towns out in the desert.

Very true. When i see the horses and men and woman in Westerns i still have the question, of how they survived the heat of the day. Was it cooler because of the lack of pavement? Was the weather cooler back then? I have nothing to measure the past with present. I can only guess. Whatever they had i am sure it wasn't the best in the summer months.

Of course, but did it affect population growths of these cities?
