Who decides what's true and what's false? Who gets to hold who "accountable", and what does that look like? How does that look any different than punishing someone for speech you don't like?

Some of y'all need more than a surface understanding of the 1st amendment, with a focus on how it came about in the first place.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a drop in replacement for smart TVs, but you can get most of the way there regardless.

I don't trust any smartTV providers. LG may be the target of this story, but I'm sure all of them are guilty of this to various degrees.

"built to contain heat". sigh. I'm not going into a thermodynamics discussion. Seems like europeans can't grasp the concept that insulation works both ways.

Anyways, get an AC for the living room and use a fan to push the cool air into your bedroom at night. Yes, it's not ideal. But sleeping on 40C is worse.

And also something something "60 kg AC". yeah, you're doing it wrong. I just checked and my 7000W Daikin is less than 30kg for the heavy part (the outdoor unit).

As for the install, I got tired of idiots here doing terrible jobs. I just bought all of the tools and nowadays I install and service my own air conditioners and have zero regrets. And no, you don't need any license to do this: the refrigerant is inside the outdoor unit from the factory, so at least for the initial install (and for the next 10 years if you do it right) you will not need any refrigerant.

Do you do that in the winter too? 10C with a couple of sweaters is quite a pleasant temperature too...

This is my favorite response to these idiots. If you don't need air conditioning, then you don't need heating either. They talk about how amazing their houses are in the winter because they "retain heat" and whatever bullshit, but they actively heat it.

Turn the heating off, or shut the fuck up about AC.
