It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.
Same here.
But there is middle-ground here. My wife came from a very temperate country. She wants the thermostat set at like, 26.
I'd be happy to have it at 17 and wear sleeves indoors. 9 degrees thermostat difference makes a hell of a dent in the utility bill.
Agreed. Funnily I'm from a more temperature country and she's from where I'm at now, but she's the one that is always cold and wants to keep it at ~22. I ain't gonna argue considering she pays the electricity bill, though.
Team 23.5 represent! My toesies are cold but the rest of me is alright!
26?! Hell, I can't even sleep if it's above like 20C in my room. My bedroom right now is 10C (vents blocked to keep it extra cold) and that's about the perfect sleeping temp. I'd go that cold in the rest of the house too but my pet snake probably wouldn't appreciate it.
snake tax snake tax snake tax!!
I don't seem to have any actually good pictures of them in my phone atm and they're in the middle of a shed right now. So the best I've got is a pic from the time they decided slither into my couch frame and made me partially dismantle my couch to get them out. They're lucky that they're cute.
aaah handsome baby! Using the single communal braincell to get into trouble is a great honor in their culture, I've heard.
Don't you get nightmares, sleeping in the cold like that?
Nope I sleep like a baby. If it's too hot them my dreams might get weird though.
I grew up in cold but have spent almost two decades in humid subtropical. If it's 20ish outside, I usually won't turn on the heat, but 23 if it gets any colder (though that's in part because old japanese house loses heat like crazy. 21 is good for me)
I keep my place at 15.5c in winter because it’s super drafty. (I’m getting the siding redone soon, I really hope that helps, but ultimately we have the same climate as Siberia so there’s only so much to be done) even at 15.5, it’s still about $200 USD/mth to heat, but at 18c it more than doubles in cost.
I’m like your wife; made for warmer climates. My ideal temp is around 30c, and I’m cold at 23, but I have heated mattress pads on my bed and couch (much much much cheaper to run than furnace) so it’s not too bad overall. They are a bit pricy up front, but definitely worth the spend.
Perhaps that sort of thing would be a good compromise for you two; a couple heated chair covers or couch cover or something to bring her temp up while keeping the overall temp lower.
19C during the day, 14C at night, 22C in the office because sitting still and concentrating is no way to keep warm.
I can't wait until it's warm enough to just keep windows open 24/7 again.
Don't be lazy. You can type with your toes.
Who said I'd still have toes?
Alright, well, you should at least have a functional nub or two
I think this meme is mocking the people that turn their house up to 72°F instead of just leaving it at 60°F and wearing a hoodie. The difference in price is quite extreme.
THAT'S VERY COLD
Damn. It's only 4 degrees for me, but my room still gets cold if I don't have the heater on max because some moron decided that an entire fucking wall in my room has to be window.
