From the weather desk...

[bjarvis]

The temperature is supposed to reach 98 degrees F this afternoon. With the humidity, it will feel closer to 105F.

Excuse me... my owner's manual and design specifications clearly state that I'm supposed to be kept in an environment ranging from -20F to 75F.

Bleh.

My manual was written 10 years before Canada went metric. I suspect my parents lost the original copy on the way home from the hospital anyway since I'm assured my current state of retardation is due to being dropped on my head a few too many times.

stop making excuses! all gummint stuff is metric now, and it's been backdated. if you don't convert, we may not let you back in to the country.

however...

you were not born in new liskeard, you were hatched at south waterloo memorial hospital, in what is now Cambridge ON. That means your thermostats were factory-set for southern ontario. Right now in Cambridge, it's 30C, and with the humidity that feels like 40C.

I'm not really sure what these quaint "farenheit" thingoes are that you cite; but I understand that 40C is equivalent to 104F. So, as I said, stop whingeing. You're presently within design tolerances for a Cambridge ON native.
