Autumn lovers >>> all other seasons
It’s barely a season though. Summer and winter are months long. Any place that actually gets something akin to autumn anymore, itonly lasts for like a few weeks. If that. There are two seasons: summer and winter. They just have barely discernible transition periods which more often than not amount to a few days of back and forth weather, from nice for a day or two, back to the previous seasons temps, then lurching forward to the next, then back and forth with some median-“season” days mixed in mid swing.
Thanks Shell, Exxon, BP, Koch industries, Lockheed, et al
Yep, they fucked up the planet just to make more money. I’d rather buy an NFT made by an AI than give those people another penny, if I had a choice in the matter
Summer Enjoyers when they get 8th degree burns on their face after they pass out onto the concrete from heat exhaustion.
easier to warm up than cool down imo
Clothes-wise sure, we put it 100W at rest, we need only capture that.
I really don't get why you can still buy cooling-only air conditioners when any heat pump can work just as well in either direction
Every aircon should heat or cool the indoor space as required
Then it becomes easy to cool or warm at ~400% efficiency
As s far as window units go, one of the biggest losses is in insulation around the window.
Those that have window units do so because there's really no alternative.
Would bi-directional window-mount ACs be effective heaters, given how much loss a window unit sees through drafts?
If it works for cooling there's no reason it wouldn't work for heating. If they need to stand in the air path for cooling they will need to stand in the air path for heat
i love wearing my slutty clothes tho
i see 20 year old gals bare legged in winter and wish i was that courageous with my sluttiness
Tougher than the troops!
I hate the heat so much.
You're not going to like the future then
That seems to be true on many subjects these days...
Sorry I don‘t spend enough time sleeping to actually care
It really depends on where you are. There are places where summer is the same temperature as some other place's winter.
Also, I hate the fact that in winter you have to stay inside all the time, there's no sun and everything is cold and sad. Spring and Summer are the times of the year when you travel, go out, enjoy nature and make memories.
And if you have a decently insulated home or AC, you can sleep great.
I make memories in winter too though. Nothing better than playing in the snow with your little daughter. Or ice-skating.
Also, pubs are fucking great in the winter.
That said, I do prefer the summers we have here. The temperature is always around 23-27 °C here, which is great. Also very little humidity.
Opening the windows during sleep sucks in winter tho. That's the only downgrade for me
Another reason would be you can't use heavier blankets in summer
learn to open your doors and windows in the nighttime (with bug nets obviously) and keep them closed during the day, nature's AC.
The nights aren't very cool in some parts of the world.
I wish bug nets for windows (or at all) were standard in Sweden. In some places in the country you will be bitten by 10 thousand mosquitoes just because you dared to open the window for a minute.
I keep my PC in my bedroom so it's hard in general to keep the room comfortable but in the winter you can at least open the windows for a few seconds and nearly instantly make the room comfortable (and without insects). In the summer it's fucking impossible to keep the room cool no matter what you do. At least the PC has good cooling so it survives; I just wish I would.
You can install bug nets yourself easily. There are some from tesa, its the net and a roll of velcro-like tape. I love them.
