Open post Extra Lime @sun_addict@mastodon.social · 3mo ago Replying to @maggiejk@zeroes.ca @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I am in the US in my 50s and I have finally absorbed and accepted this just this year. If I open my curtains I also open my windows so I’m not exactly in a greenhouse, but I’ve finally figured out that leaving the curtains and windows closed during the day keeps my apartment cooler. Also, a fan in the window that is blowing in is dumb but I used to do that a lot too. I had a mom who was obsessed with fresh air and I think that’s how I got stuck on this. My electric usage is much better this year than it was last year at the same time. The bill is higher because our electric company sucks, but I am using less which is still a win for me. @maggiejk@zeroes.ca @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange It's not dumb if you have two fans on each end of your house and you take care to put them both in the sense the wind is naturally trying to blow.
