You can’t get away without AC in most Southern states. Temps get up over 100, sometimes as high as 110 and that gets mighty uncomfortable.
The midlands of SC during summer would make him appreciate ac.
Phoenix, AZ??? Haw.... DRY heat. Try South Louisiana in August....99F/99%RH. Now THAT feels HOT.
RE: No A/C
Get bent!
Thank you and
goodnight.
PS, my little 110v window a/c is purring along keeping my mancave and COPD'd lungs happy. Hands off, or you'll lose them. Fair warning!
;)
I remember in the 1970s living in Clute Texas, feeling GUILTY about running my AC because the “smart ones” were telling us back then that our AC was destroying the climate of the earth causing GLOBAL COOLING! So I don’t believe their lies THIS time. Can you imagine being in 90 to 100 degree weather without AC? And how about winters without central heat? People would DIE. But that is probably the goal. We were in NYC 2 weekends in a row, before and after our cruise to Bermada island. It was HOT in both placed. 90s. We NEEDED the AC!
Well Sheryl also said you could use more than one square during certain “messy” incidents.
I am always too hot. On our cruise ship the other women were freezing, I was burning up. Way past postmenopausal, that was decades ago. But still always way too hot.
They have a joke in Texas.
What’s the worst thing to ever happen in the history of Texas?
The invention of air conditioning, because it made it possible for Yankees to live here.
WOW WE live on Texas Gulf Coast where it has been in the hundreds and very very very humid! I have ceiling fans in most of the rooms, plus floor fans, and table top fans. I am happy to pay my electric bill in the summer so long as I can! We don’t really have heating bills here. About 20 a month, for hot water tank, etc.
All of the Vatican HAS to be temperature controlled to protect all the ancient artworks.
So the Euroweenies have stopped putting AC units into the automobiles they manufacture ?
We bought this one 3 years ago. It works well for our house. It is a well insulated 1100 sq. ft. home. It does tax it a bit when the Temps get above 94.
Would be great for one room. Vent it thru the window fixture that comes with it and no water drain to deal with.
It’s always just a matter of time before leftists take control of any entity that has money to control. Every foundation like Rockefeller or Ford that started out as conservative eventually ends up being controlled by leftists. It’s all about control. The Catholic Church has been heading that way for quite some time.
When I was young I did a lot of labor in the sun, and no way could I make the transition from twelve hours in a fridge to twelve hours in an oven. AC went unused in all my vehicles. Got to be a habit.
I grew up in Sapulpa OK without heat or AC. We did have a water cooler in the kitchen window. But that was at the back of the house and the bedrooms were upstairs on the other side of the house. There was a floor furnace under the house that sent warmed air into the doorway area between living and dining rooms. That air never made it upstairs to the bedrooms. We didn’t have fans. This was 1954 till summer 1967. It was SO HOT! And winters were very very cold. Summers 100s F, winters 0 F. Then my folks bought a new house with AC in 1967. I will never go back.
“Phoenix, AZ??? Haw.... DRY heat. Try South Louisiana in August....99F/99%RH. Now THAT feels HOT.”
I grew up in south Louisiana and have lived in Phoenix for the past 18 years, and I largely agree with you - except for times like today when it’ll be around 115. Even with just 15% humidity, that takes the cake (and bakes the cake - lol).
The important thing there is choice. You chose, and so did your neighbors. Nobody took away either of your choices. Your neighbor chooses to use some of his money to pay for the luxury/necessity. You save money by foregoing it.
That is how things ought to be, absent pressing circumstances that make one or the other choice deathly foolish.
dear pope. Go tell a foundry worker who just got done pouring steel for eight hours that his air conditioner is a wasteful habit. On the way back to your luxurious baroque cage stop by the construction worker’s house and lecture him about excessive consumption after he’s spent his day finishing concrete in the August sun. popey, you’d keel over dead if you stood where these guys work and just watched for an hour without lifting a finger to help.
Do you have a furnace? Do you use it? If you suffer through heat than you can suffer through cold too, right?
How wide an opening is it capable of spanning. I am in a situation of an apartment with marginal central A/C and it might make more sense to use something like this and not try to beat the guts out of the main unit. But its windows slide horizontally and they are tall.
