jaykrownThese outdoor heaters are stupid and a waste of electricity
They do suck but CTA stops in Chicago have these and they’re better than nothing in the brutal cold. A lifesaver when the train is going to take a while
Sure, but just dress warmly with another layer. The reason they’re a waste is because the vast majority of actual heat energy is just lost to the atmosphere.
Brother I don’t think you understand how cold Chicago gets. I was wearing 2 sweaters and a coat and it’s still fucking cold as balls
NotSteve_Similar deal in Canada. It’s bitter hell waiting for a bus or train in -40c even with as many layers on as you can fit. These heaters are absolutely worth the energy use
That’s -40f for those south of the border.
No need to thank me for doing all that math. On a serious note, some actually helpful points are:
0c = 32f (probably the most well known one)
10c = 50f
20c = 68f
30c = 86f
40c = 104f
Aside that, I figure I’ll be cooking and therefore using a nice enough thermometer to have both scales. Otherwise things have gone terribly, terribly wrong, and I have much larger problems to worry about than conversions.
Makes it worse that you’re being a dickhead then
czardestructoCan you explain how hes being a dickhead? Hes being very factual/logical and everyone else is downvoting him to oblivion. Hes just debating the fact that wearing proper clothing avoids the need to burn energy wastfully for a partial solution.
I’m amazed by how poorly many people dress in the winter. “Uhhh, you are dressed for September.”
