    HVAC. I feel like it’s as much of a game changer as cocaine was to people already forking out lots for pure heroin.

    Sounds good, but I’ll never see the benefit

      …i went to school in the tropics without air conditioning, neither in the classrooms nor dormitories, and it still feels like self-indulgent opulence to me every time i come home to air conditioning, even four decades later…

        I see them everywhere in hot countries, and it boggles the mind that this is just this expensive thing that a lot of houses have now

          …i generally prefer windows open to the world but i’ll concede that it’s niiiiice, though: i never sleep better than nestled underneath a blasting window-box on a hot summer night…

      …does HVAC have a different meaning to you? I’m struggling to understand how you could have such an opinion about centralized air distribution. Do you look at air vents and start scowling?

      what do you mean? AC is absolutely a game-changer compared to no AC.

      i dont like heating with hot air, but i get why it happens
