I didn't downvote you, but:
Ok, then... have a ceiling fan above it?
A very slow one, that uses little energy?
Secondary thought! What if you attached a bunch of processor heat sink type fins to the mass? Might not be good for long term regulation, but it would smooth out temperature curves daily.
Yes but then the downside is you have a giant porcupine that will draw blood, in the middle of the room, lol.
You could buff that out a bit though?
...?
Badges of honor are not so easily dismissed.
Yes but there might be nonmasochists in the household, guests, children, pets, etc.
Not everyone is defacto down with a blood sacrifice for the Omnissiah.
Very fair. I forget my selfishness on occasion. Thank you for reminding me that I am not the center of the universe.
Its ok, I can come over and cut you a little bit, if you're into that.
... I've done martial arts long enough that I've literally acquired a taste for blood, having been punched in the face enough.
All who are chill with, and have, being punched in the face are welcome.
No need to apologize for someone else. But I appreciate the thought.
And you are absolutely right. A ceiling fan, plus a thermal mass would work.
