It's not the AC that are incredible. Modern heat pumps are incredible. They are the best thing since the sliced bread. I could talk for hours about heat pumps. They're just so efficient.

Heat pumps - they pump my heat.

Did I mention I like heat pumps?

Guns are fun as hell, it’s true. Unfortunately as with most things in the world, shit gets ruined because people don’t know how to act right

At 40 cents / kwh you learn to tolerate heat very quickly.

I am at this point considered liberal, but I have to say that I do like guns. Range shooting is super fun. If I could I would take up competitive Three Gun as a hobby, but I don't have a course in my area.

Also, I hike with either my 45-70 ammunition rifle or my .45acp pistol with high grain ammo. Why? I live in Wyoming where we are definitely not on the top of the food chain. Even my pistol is liable to just piss off a bear if it really means business.

I'm a US electrician who may move to Scotland within a decade. I'll hook up some mini splits for yall. Just gimme that NHS.

How is AC being a game changer surprising?? When it is hot I see my contacts in the UK sitting with icepacks in their laps or with fans all around them spraying themselves with water. Imagine if the whole room was just a tolerable temperature, it isn't hard to picture. Seems odd.

(Yes I get it just isn't a thing there and they have buildings older than time itself...but still....)

I'm pretty sure that access to guns would instantly end my depression.

Honestly it's not that bad if the building is made right. Especially old stone houses that also happen to be surrounded by trees are absolutely godly in these scenarios (the down side is the heating bill in the winter :P or rather that used to be the downside...). I honestly wouldn't have ever considered an AC a couple years ago, but now that summer means a constant 30°C I'm reconsidering. Like bro, 30°C used to be a HOT exceptional couple days, not the entire summer!

AC always gives me a sore throat after couple of days, is that just me?

We in EU also have AC, what's the difference?

American checks out.

I did, they're pretty fun.

Like an engineer told me recently, the image of AC is biased in most of us towards the electricity-sucking devices of the previous century. Contemporary AC tech is to 1980s-90s AC what LED lightbulbs are to incandescent ones.

Yes. Like that.

Seems minisplits are becoming more popular. Saw a truckload of them on the interstate a while back

Got to shoot an assault rifle in the army. Would definitely buy one if I could.
