They also look huge, in Europe the standard is to have an outside unit and an inside unit.

They're also monstrously inefficient compared to mini splits even before you account for leaving a giant uninsulated hole in your wall with free movement of air between the inside and the outside.

I laugh every time I see one of these shoved in right below a brand new quadruple pane low-e argon filled latest ultra efficiency mega R value vinyl window. Yeah, the window is not where your air leak is, bro.

Nah the noise is perfect to drown out every single noise in the hallway because the doors aren't soundproof at all.

They're noisy because they are inefficient. But still more efficient than any ceiling fan

Eh.

The Echo Base was the facility established by the Rebel Alliance on the frigid planet of Hoth

The interior of Echo Base extended seven levels below the surface, with the lower levels for barracks, rec rooms, maintenance hangars and fuel stores.

I haven't seen that but I believe you. Can you not just get an extra card from the front desk, or do they have it further enshittified in some way?

Eh, if you're leaving your ac on all day when you're out, that's quite a waste. Card operation helps avoid accidentally leaving ac and lights on.

Any card works though, you can probably buy blank ones for this purpose.

I hope you'll think about not using vacation rentals like airbnb. I obviously have no clue what you actually do on vacation.

They're so destructive to local communities. Homes are for living, not some ~~entrepreneurs~~ dickbags financial instrument.

In that Super 8s probably rarely see cats who enjoy urinating on electrical equipment (although I'm sure that's happened nonzero number of times), it's probably a ton of condensed meth. When it's in secondhand form, exhaled or wasted, it's hydroscopic and instantly mixes with the room humidity, which is then processed by the A/C coils, where it accumulates.

Possibly the room was actually used to manufacture meth. I mean, I used to manage REO properties on Bremerton, and I definitely cleaned up the remains of a few meth labs.

But maybe Mr Fluffy did go to urinetown on it, who knows. Bremerton.

You judge a city by their Super 8?

Perhaps it's more of an American thing, these are super common in budget hotels and have the ability to freeze you to death

I think it’s down to lack of maintenance. Either there’s a refrigerant leak, or the condenser side is clogged. Most budget hotels don’t have the best maintenance.

I am so fucking old.
