Yeah unfortunately right now I don't have AC in my bedroom; only in the lounge/dining/kitchen area. That should be changing at some point later this year when I move, but for now I'm stuck with a space heater in a highly un-insulated apartment.

Otherwise oil heaters (or anything else with a big thermal mass) is good cause you have a nice big chunk of something to keep radiating heat even when the unit has cycled off.

Yeah but they also take longer to heat up in the first place, so their energy use balances out to be basically equal to a space heater at 1 W used/W heated.

I added the wifis and the bgs to our AC

Yeah when I move I'm gonna have connected AC. Very looking forward to that.

Dunno what bgs is though.

It's a very old meme. Sometimes I forget how old and decrepit I am and reference memes that only exist in ancient texts. Or YouTube videos that were uploaded in 360p.

Wifis and the *gbs

Ha! I've seen that video before. In fact YouTube even surfaces for me my old comment from 13 years ago, which must have been back before the new chat system was implemented because it's a reply to someone else posted as a top-level comment. I never would have made the connection between that and your comment, though. Partly because it was an obscure connection, and partly because I'm old enough to have forgotten more memes than I still know.
