stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My new apartment gets crazy amounts of condensation collecting on the windows. It's so bad that it pools around on the interior windowsill. The temporary solutions I've come up are: 1. cloth off the condensation, 2. air out the place a couple times a day, 3. keep the bathroom door closed after showers. But ideally I would not need to do any of those things, the apartment would just be built well enough that it were never a problem. I'm letting the landlord know tomorrow. Anyone have other tips on fixing or at least reducing this problem?

for some reason DHCP got disabled on my wireless card so i cant set up an ad hoc network anymore which means i need to actually get around to buying a wireless router.

Yeah, air out and then turn up the heat in your apartment like a motherfucker. Or get your landlord to buy you new drafty windows because if he doesn't the condensation will spread to the rest of the apartment.

Thanks to both of you! My girlfriend mentioned the dehumidifier thing as well, may look into that. Cranking the heat is something I hadn't considered. i thought the big contrast in temperature between the heat in our apartment and the freezing temperature outside would somehow worsen the problem. But yeah, I suppose if the heat is drastic enough evaporation will work its magic. I'm not so sold on the drafty windows idea, they already let a lot of cold in.

If you smash all the windows that would stop the condensation on the windows.

I usually crank the heat up after airing my living room so the windows reach a normal temperature.

That's her brother, Corey Feldman.

There's some kind of Godwin's Law analog at work on watmm with respect to the Two Beckys.

hmm

Where there is Skrillex, there is the Two Beckys.

1st world problem: I haven't seen Becky "1" since my Uncle and Aunt divorced, and probably never will again at this rate.

dude she's your cousin

Yeah, but things are complicated.

I'd like to get her in one of my music videos.

Or are they actually as uncomplicated and direct as a raging bon0r?

haha, not my type.
