Okay, you can heat your house but only to 50 degrees.
I usually only go for 20 degrees, but I guess a sauna would be fun
Everyone in the metric world:
Something that really should be used more is using those rubber hot water bottles. it won't heat your whole room, but it's great when paired with a blanket.
And risk burning yourself when the rubber wears out in 3 years and bursts?
Nah, get yourself one of those oat-filled microwavable teddies. Does the same job but with less risk of severe burns and doesn't need replaced every few years.
If I'm spending 10 minutes walking between buildings and then an hour sitting in them I'd rather be comfortable for the longer amount of time.
:(
This instance ain't big enough
Gets ya from point A to point B.
I live in a relatively warm part of Canada and let me tell you a sweater alone is not enough 😭
There are plenty of places in the USA Midwest and Europe that get colder.
I live in Northern mn where it goes like -40f I don’t wear more then two sweatshirts all of winter I don’t do outside activities in the cold tho
Yeah, good luck with only a sweater in Newport VT.
Guys if you keep heating your houses to 15°C or more you're the cause for climate change and the corporations can't blow petawatts on their AI data centers c'mon don't be so selfish
My flat grows mold if I leave it under 18C for too long and my landlord doesn't care 🥴
Mmmm, mold.
I’m right with you on that though. Small basement apartment with a concrete floor that was built in the 1930s. Yep. Mold.

It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.
Same here.
But there is middle-ground here. My wife came from a very temperate country. She wants the thermostat set at like, 26.
I'd be happy to have it at 17 and wear sleeves indoors. 9 degrees thermostat difference makes a hell of a dent in the utility bill.
I keep my place at 15.5c in winter because it’s super drafty. (I’m getting the siding redone soon, I really hope that helps, but ultimately we have the same climate as Siberia so there’s only so much to be done) even at 15.5, it’s still about $200 USD/mth to heat, but at 18c it more than doubles in cost.
I’m like your wife; made for warmer climates. My ideal temp is around 30c, and I’m cold at 23, but I have heated mattress pads on my bed and couch (much much much cheaper to run than furnace) so it’s not too bad overall. They are a bit pricy up front, but definitely worth the spend.
Perhaps that sort of thing would be a good compromise for you two; a couple heated chair covers or couch cover or something to bring her temp up while keeping the overall temp lower.
26?! Hell, I can't even sleep if it's above like 20C in my room. My bedroom right now is 10C (vents blocked to keep it extra cold) and that's about the perfect sleeping temp. I'd go that cold in the rest of the house too but my pet snake probably wouldn't appreciate it.
snake tax snake tax snake tax!!

I have to turn on the heater for my cats or else I'll suffer the consequences.
