We don't need anything most of the year, but in winter it can get
close to freezing at night.

I know that youve been led to believe that. If you stop believing biased
news and think for yourself, stress over a foreign leader that doesnt
affect you should sort out in your troubled mind. You may find peace.

Wait! No! It cant be! You wouldnt be trolling, would you? Didnt
trolls live in Scandinavia? I imagine that troll seed could have wormed its
way to the south and then spread to Australia.

We do. Our house is kept at 21.6 C, except when the windows
are open. Then it might range between 15.5 and 23.3 C before we
turn the climate control back on.

I have one of those for the heating, it's great, I haven't thought
about the heating since it was installed. Sometimes I would forget to
turn it down at night and wake about 2 a.m. feeling stifled.

Mine has several settings, differences for weekends, or going out to
work etc. They are great.

I don't like the dryness of airco. I prefer central heating like we
had in the Netherlands. Or just the natural temperature if it's not
under 19C/66F and not above 34C/93F.

That's the main reason we like it. The humidity right now is something
like 82%. It's been hot here this week, right around 32 F every day,
but the humidity bottoms out below 50%. Usually when it's that hot the
humidity is around 70%.

We have central heating, of course, because it gets so cold in the
winter. It's below 66 F half the year.

My old thermostat has an on and off switch. That's all I need.
I prefer fresh air and only use heat or ac as needed for
a very short time in extreme weather.

All goes off when I leave for work or go to sleep at night.
In my temperate area, neither is needed constantly.

On this day in the USA, you can plead the 5th
while drinking a 5th.

I go to all the trouble to get the conversion, and then I absent-mindedly
type F anyway. *sheesh*

Years ago, I was at a friends house and she asked me to
run to the grocery store for her. As I had walked over
there, she said to take her car so I did.

Before I got out of the neighborhood, my butt was on
fire and I was wondering what medical condition would
cause that.

I had never heard of a seat warmer in a car and she
had her's set on high. LOL

Why would you carmelize Vidalia onions? They're sweet and mild
and made to be eaten raw. Carmelizing wouldn't leave much
onion taste, imo.

You are a piggie too. one pound burger with 5 pounds of onion?
That's one hell of a dinner, pal.

Also, since your wife won't allow you to cook onions and
she will be gone until Monday, now is the time to cook
a giant batch and freeze portions so you can still enjoy
and she won't have to smell them cooking.

When I lived in Perth, I used to put on a sweater when the temperature
dropped below 28C:-)

The Pledge of Allegiance I remember. We didn't have to say a prayer in
elementary school. Then again, I attended a lot of different elementary
schools because Dad kept getting transferred.

It was in the early 70's when people started objecting to prayer in
public schools.

Carmelization brings forth an even more sweet taste. 5 pounds does sound
like overkill.

Did you see the picture he posted? I'm re-posting his link:

What kind of bread is that? If that's a 1 lb. burger I'll eat my
tinfoil hat. It doesn't come anywhere close to fitting on that
bread. The onions overwhelm the plate. I did notice it's not a *paper
plate*. Heh.

I really didn't need to see that mess swimming in grease.

Actually, I think the usa is in the middle of crash and burn.

The "Rise and Fall of the USA" should prove to be a
much shorter book than the "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire."

You put on a sweater when temp dropped below 28c (82f) ?
What a baby you are. How do you even survive in Canada?

There was lots of butter, that's for sure. I'm not sure what kind of
bread that is. Fact is, if you want to make a burger it doesn't have to
be round. You can make it in any shape you want, just like you can make
a rectangular pizza. An oval burger would have fit better. That one
didn't fit the bread at all, it got lost. And waaaay too many
carmelized onions piled on that plate. JMHO, of course.

One adjusts to the environment. When I lived there, I enjoyed the heat
as I became accustomed to it. I have become accustomed to cooler
temperatures here - but I don't enjoy -35C:-)

Yes, in summer it's the same here. But now, in winter, it gets very
dry with the airco on. I can even see it on our cats.

Yes, you need decent heating then. We have a fireplace, which is nice
when it's really cold, but it's a bit of a hassle compared to pressing
a button.

Get rid of Trump and assume your prominent position on the world stage
again. There's a lot to criticise about the US, but I'd rather have
the US than crime boss Putin or fascist Xi-Ping as the dominant dude.

Yes, I got a surprise too when I got into a modern car for the first
time in ages. When my car was made, people didn't have bums yet.
