- Live in a cheap apartment on the third floor
- Enjoy from the heating from the tenants of the first, second floor, and other neighbours
- Don’t ever put the heater on and live like a parasite
lol, I feel called out - I used to do this, I lived on a cheap, third floor apartment and didn’t use A/C or heat … the temps in the house definitely got in the 90s F, and in the 40s F - but I never remember it getting down to the 30s, and I found it livable.
Good lord. I hate how much of myself I saw in that video 😀
We got a cold snap the last two weeks of October and I typically refuse to turn the furnace on until at least November (except once in early October to give it a health check for the season). After a summer of the thermostat at 79 degrees, it was a bit jarring to adapt to a 60 degree setting when it started getting cold.
I’m cold blooded (or whatever means I’m always cold) but I don’t go to all the crazy degrees this guy does. I basically live in my robe, wool socks, toboggan, and finger-less gloves. I work from home these days and have never looked more homeless.
Bought some USB rechargeable hand warmers last year, and those things are great. I’ll often have a hoodie on under my robe and will throw those in the hoodie pockets to keep my core nice and warm. On the lowest setting, they’ll last all day. They also charge nicely from the solar panels (or from the power banks that have charged from the solar panels).
I hate excessive bedding and have a hard time falling asleep under that many layers, so I use an electric mattress pad which is fantastic.
This is me when I am allowed to be me! Sadly, my wife is the exact opposite of this, and with kids, I just cave… since its zoned heating issues will lower it to 60 at night when everyone is asleep and I sleep the best I ever do all year in winter. Im just always hot, which helps.
