Lmao. We do need ac though, the problem is Europe has a ton of older houses which were build when it was much more beneficial to try and keep warmth in rather than out. And it’s a pain in the ass to retrofit all these houses with ac. I live in a flat which was build about 15 years ago and the difference compared to my previous apartments is enormous. Still no ac, but it’s not needed here because of proper isolation and smaller windows.
Silly the rest of the world, my windows are superiour, I don’t need AC. dies
Jokes aside, our windows are superiour
Your windows are superior in how they open, however the average American would need better education in order to operate them.
I was just there in June and my apartment had 3 options for the window to open depending on latch position. One would open the top for venting, one would open wider with just the glass part of the window leaving the bug screen in place and another would open the whole unit so you could hang out the window and fall 10m to the ground.
Best we have what are called double hung windows, top and bottom open (up/down or left/right side slide). Almost every house i’ve ever lived in has screens.
Don’t they have these cheapy portable ACs with a radiator you can drag outside? It shouldn’t cost too much, you just need a hole in the wall to stick the radiator through. Then, once you stick the radiator and it’s pipe through, you can slather the hole with cement or whatever so the heat doesn’t get in. Shouldn’t cost more than 500 USD and take more than an hour to set up.
Edit: Photo showing what I mean (found on google):
That assumes you have bought you own house which you can alter. Where I live it’s 60% owns and 40% rents, but the cities, where it’s much warmer and which heat up faster and thus need ac the most, have more renters than buyers. So you’re dependent on whoever you’re renting from to do anything like that.
Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire “hot side” is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.
Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don’t really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.
69 Fahrenheit here in Düsseldorf
About to go for a nice run
mhmm… If you say so
So you’re not just denying anthropogenic climate change in general, you’re also denying CURRENT TEMPERATURES? You science deniers are a fucking trip 🤦
temperatures are just a construct of the liberals to push their nefarious tree-hugging agenda, man!
/s
last year we just pretty much froze to death
I’m enjoying the heat and sun but i don’t want to be working through it. Let me sit outside all the time.
