Why do people even like daylight? It just gives you wrinkles and cancer, that shit sucks.
It als gives healthy bones and natural anti depressants.
I love it, for real. Short winter days suck, especially after going back to standard time. Having light in the evening is wonderful.
You are wrong and i prefer the outdoors being remotely habitable.
Even at like -40, theres gear to make it tolerable. At 100f/40c, it's just an oven, and even survivors will need shower+salt
What tropic are you from?
Yeah that's the only place it ever gets that hot.
Yeah summer is terrible, with how you have to put on five layers to stay cool in the sunshine and then go shovel out all the sunshine in your driveway and/or scrape all the sunshine off your car before you drive ten mph all the way to work while fellow commuters slip & slide all over the sunshine covered roads…
wearing 5 layers to be warm is better than wearing 1 layer and still boiling alive and literally having your skin burn and still feel painful and like it's cooking the next day while sitting in a pitch black room
As my mom always said
"If you're cold you can put on more clothes, but you can only get so naked"
I can't have warm hands and usable dexterity in winter. Only in winter can I have painfully cold, numb hands and be sweaty at the same time.
At least in summer my whole body agrees that it's warm and my hands always work properly
If it's warm for a longer period you can aclimate and get used to it, if it's cold for a long time you just die I guess
I fucking hate the summer.
I don't get it. Why 9pm? I mean 9 am and a desolate picture would make sense, but wrong with the pic for 9pm?
It's bright outside.
Thank you, but why is it bad thag 9pm is bright?
Fucks with your sleeping patterns is the most common complaint I hear. Not so much at 21:00 but if sunset is after 21 then sunrise will be about before 3.
And you left a 9μm gap in the curtains that definitely makes it shine straight in your eyes walking you up.
This is the amount of daylight we are evolutionarily adapted to pre-migration so "fucks with your sleeping patterns" sounds like a man made horror
The man made horror of moving out of Africa?
Alexandria during summer has about 14 hours of daylight and Johannesburg during their summer has about 13.
The Nordic Capitals have sunset some time after 21 and 18 hours of daylight now.
X-Files in Alaska:
Fox: "Why is the school closed on a weekday?"
Mulder: "It's 10PM Fox."
Uh, I've never actually seen the show, but I'm pretty sure Fox Mulder is the guy and something Scully is the lady.
As someone who's house is entirely powered by solar, I love the long days! I also do a lot of outside work so the extra hours of daylight really help me there too
During winter it was so overcast and cloudy that I had to run a generator almost the entirety of the season
If it weren't for having to run the heat pump, I'd have 10X what I need right now. But 3 or 4 hours of usable sunlight in the winter makes it hard to keep up.
For real, I have wood stoves (and propane heaters a supplemental) for winter heat so luckily a little less load on my system! This past winter was so cold here I had to get a subzero sleeping bag and put a living heater (my dog) inside of it because even the wood stoves couldn't keep up
I have mini splits but because of the sun situation I couldn't run them on heat without burning through my power/spending hundreds of dollars on gas for the generator!
I have woodstoves as well, but I'll run the furnace fan to distribute the heat, so there's a bit of use, and it'll kick propane in if the fire burns down, or the heat pump if it's above -15 outside and I have capacity. I tend to be around 10KW of usage but 23KW of panels struggles some days. After about 5 days of poor sun I'll be out of reserve, and I fire up the genny for 5 hours to top them back up.
I've considered building a woodgas source for the genny, that would take me pretty much completely off the teat. I'd love to get a groundsource heat pump but those are mucho dinero.
I've also considered melting urea for a cooling source, since we farm and need N for the sprayer. It's amazing how much heat the endothermic reaction takes, and using a sprayer for topdressing is much more precise than spreading dry fert.
