I installed both AC and solar panels when heat got too dangerous for my kids.

Yes, many everyday problems can be solved with money, money were literally invented for that exact purpose. Other problems can be solved with time, for example - trees need a fuckton of time to grow, but I still replaced most of the grass in my garden with trees and bushes. I will most likely never rest under their shade in my life, but is that really important to see the benefits fast?

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

There's a ton of variants of this, and saying (in a form or another) apparently goes back to 1700s.

Converting electricity into heat via silicon (ironically data centers turn electricity into heat with incredible efficiency) then moving that heat outside with HVAC units (heat exchangers again, the best way to move heat outside).

Then this sunufabich buys an ac

Hey one of you finally realize that air conditioning is necessary to sleep at night when it gets really hot, a problem which is only going to continue to grow worse thanks to climate change. At least until the ocean conveyor breaks completely and y'all start freezing your balls off like you live in Siberia.

Maybe invest in a reversible heat pump so you're ready!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 5 hours ago

I wish; I rent, so it's whatever they've given me - specifically a window unit currently.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

wow a shocking amount of people here have no idea how AC works

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It makes the air cold. What's there to understand?

It makes the room cold unfortunately to make the room cold you have to whack a sodding great hole in your wall. You explain that to the landlord who doesn't care about your comfort, but they could care immensely about the wall having a hold on it.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

whack a sodding great hole

Ours have a hole about 50mm in diameter. It's not going to bring your wall down and if you decide that you don't need the efficient heating/cooling with minisplit-unit it's easy enough to patch. I own the house, so I didn't need to think nothing else than the location of the hole, but any sensible landlord would see a minisplit-unit as an increase of property value.

Do y'all not have windows?

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Let me fix that for you. A shocking number of Europeans have no idea how AC works.

[–] bouh@jlai.lu 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

So you volunteer to fund one for me and convince my landlord and the mayor to allows its installation ?

I have just one thing to say: 🖕

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Alexa! Please set the room temperature to 72F..... Would you like that in degrees centigrade?

Sorry, I can't hear you! I'm making too much cooling noise!

Alexa, it's too hot!..... I stopped cooling so I could hear you better! Totally not to send that data to Google for precessing.
