Saw a review of an electric space #heater, where the reviewer was concerned that their #cat was able to switch it on "by accident" via touch sensitive buttons by booping them with her nose or paw - was wondering if this is really an accident, or learned behaviour - cats like warmth, and the heater is a source of it when switched on? #cats

You've proven my point - you aren't familiar with conditions in the #prairies or the remote #north.

Calgary to Edmonton is a trivial jaunt, especially because the entire way it's densely developed (for the prairies). I'm talking about trips I take or took regularly, in -35C weather or colder (your heat pump won't work, and you'll have to have the electric resistance #heater going full blast the whole trip - that's 7 kW or so, isn't it? Goodbye, range figures...). Oh, and the #battery heater.

Think: 8 hour drive, during the last four of which you'll pass no human #settlements, much less a fast charger. When you get there, there's no fast charger, either. A standard 120 VAC 15 A plug is all you'll have access to (if you're lucky), so you're gonna be plugged in for a day or two - maybe more? - before you can return.

And then you do the math on the range, and find out you can't even make it that last four hours - you'll run out of juice, and then you'll be dead from hypothermia in 30 minutes if you stay in the car, 10 minutes if you leave the car. Even if you charged up at that last station before the Big Empty, you barely have enough juice to get there given the distance, headwind - 60 km/h is common, and wind resistance, which uses most of your energy, increases with the *cube* of the airspeed you're pushing through - and cold.

I invite you to visit, so you can understand that other peoples' situations differ from yours.

Man, part of me wants to drop the $2400 or something it would take to get the #water #heater at my mothers' house fixed. I hate taking cold #showers and the showers here don't even get warm sometimes, just got out of another freezing shower where I had to convince my body that it wasn't actually freezing and I could properly clean myself.

The boat has been using £20 a week in electricity over the past 2 weeks.

I may have the two mini heaters set too high. Their function is to keep the pipes from freezing, but I noticed the day I left that they were switching themselves on and off, and it was nowhere near freezing that day.

I used to have this open-flued gas space #heater at home. It was glorious during the cold winter nights. My new gas log #fireplace is no match.

I love this Airbnb in Platana! Our host Vaggelis offered oil from his 300 years old olive trees, wine from his vineyard, and Tsipouro that he has distilled himself. We can eat as much fresh oranges from orange trees as we like. And this pellet #heater is badass! Nice and warm cottage vibes after getting all my clothes wet while hiking back from the #Manikia waterfall. 😬

Has anyone got experience about aluminium can solar heaters? I've seen a few DIY videos before and was wondering if there was a role for keeping my garage room warm without using electricity.

Basically I've learnt that keeping things warm is really really hard, you need a lot of energy - more then I really considered.

Dass die thermische #Notabschaltung selbst beheizt ist um ein ungewolltes Wiedereinschalten zu verhindern, war mir so auch nicht klar. Der #Überhitzungsschutz ist mehr als einfach nur ein zweiter #Thermostat.
