That's only because you're dumb. What do you need heating for ? You could just wear a turtleneck and save on energy costs (according to the French government asking people to turn the heating down to 17° in winter)

Idk, I turned down my heating to 15° (C) last winter, and was fine. And I live farther north than France, in a first-floor apartment, with pretty shitty insulation (it's a pre-WWII building). I have great rent though.

15° ??? 😱 Are you sure you're not a ghost that doesn't know it froze to death last winter ?

Hmm — maybe that's why the barista always ignores my order and little children scream when I walk by...

But we have access to wifi .... take that 13th century!

It's slow, a bad connection, the neighbor keeps changing the password .... but I can watch Netflix (as long as the neighbour doesn't figure out I'm on their account)

Why use Netflix, a proprietary & centralized service, when there are distributed FOSS alternatives?
