Certainly more worth fighting for than Running Back Dolls or whatever those damn things were.

I just put a new window unit my my barn office. Run it at 68F, on high. Very chill.
Odd thing is its R32. Dichlorofluoromethane. Its a flammable gas.
Now how is that better than freon?

I see the fighters there are of the same persuasion as ours here.

Hey Yogi, is it them there too?

Yes, it did look like mostly a 3rd world hellhole in there.

I am not saying we would be any different in some situation like...no food.

The difference is, these are air conditioners, and the country is deliberately making them hard to get. Ours hasn’t done that.

Yet.

I thought France was largely powered by nuclear plants and didn’t have any power problems. I have relatives there, in southern France, I’m sure they have air conditioning, but I’ll have to check with them. They have been here many times, love our country and want to relocate, but it’s difficult.

Anywhere in France as hot as Ozark Arkansas 90 years ago?

- All-time highest temperature: 120° F (Ozark on Aug. 10, 1936)

“200,000 air conditioners and fans in 1,600 stores throughout France…..$1300 USD each”.

That’s about 125 per store.
It must have been like Black Friday waiting for the stores to open.

Typical stupidity of all European countries — “We aren’t soft like those horrid Americans with their AC.”

Uhh, hey, numbnuts, a mark of civilization is modifying your environment when (WHEN!!) it suits you. Only savages just sit there muttering about how “natural” they are.

Pi$$ on ‘em.

Meanwhile, I was cold last night. It was 59° in my bedroom when I got up this morning. Not because of the A/C. No, it’s just cold in Alaska. I have a space heater in my bathroom that I run every time I’m in there.
