    Minor nitpick: if it’s snowing outside (and you can do so), then wear a fucking sweater inside! Heating a whole room by a few degrees when you could just not run around with a T-shirt is just so wasteful.

    If you can’t wear one, because you’re disabled, then ignore my rant, please.

      Electricity companies hate this trick!

      For real I dont understand why people forget that they can just wear thicker clothes even at home. And they complain the electricity is expensive

      Ah, to be young again and not have your hands and feed start freezing indoors when it starts getting chilly outside…

      Significantly lowering indoors temperatures can have detrimental effects on health, particularly for elderly people. Also, electricity should be sufficiently accessible and cheap that I don’t need to freeze my butt off in my home in order to pay the bills.

        You’re reading waay too much into my comment. I specifically said that there were exceptions and only said that you shouldn’t heat up to t-shirt temperatures.
