Good luck, stranger! :)

Oh, true?! Much to learn, I still have.

Thank you stranger :)

Except the ones who are dead.

Hmm, I don't see it either. Expanding "more" on a reply gives me:

Up, Down, Reply, PM, Report, Block, Fav, View Source.

Maybe we're missing something obvious? XD

TY in advance if we are :)

Ouch, you can keep that! Hit me up if you're ever near Melbourne; we'll take you for a walk through Sherbrooke Forest; if you're here at this time of year, you enjoy cold mornings, and you're very lucky - you may even get to hear a lyrebird song - imitating every other native bird in the forest! 😀

Nice! Contribute literally anything, it all helps. 10 year reddit lurker here, also making an effort to bring something to the table. Until it gets busy. Then I'll fade into the background again :)

Ahh yes, we also suffer from a lack of insulation. Empty ceiling and walls. The 50s was a pretty relaxed era for Australian housing.

And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

I'm afraid I don't know anyone that can help you with that.

Hahaha not sure where you are exactly, but my memory of Houston and Corpus Christi involves using my arms to swim through the air - the heat and humidity was suffocating; the air was so thick! Sunglasses fogging up instantly when you step outside from an air-conditioned room.

We regularly see 110F here Down Under in our south, but it's a dry heat. You can at least spend the day outside getting stuff done.

It's been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

Some things are just worth dying for 😁

 

So at work today, the discussion of household heating and gas/electricity bills came up (entering winter Down Under), and I commented that we have our central heating set to 14 Celsius (approx 57 Freedoms) overnight, and off during the day/evening. We find that 14 is quite comfortable under a fluffy doona/duvet. I was warmly mocked (well natured), and informed that something closer to 24C (75F) is appropriate, day and night.

Surely not... right?
