Deddly: true. But it's "early" in the morning here and I slept at 23° C with 60-70 % humidity and my brain is cooked.

Euuugh my brain is melting just thinking about that
<Mat2ch>
.oO( ACs? Where we are going we don't need ACs! - Every German boomer in a big old house looking down at the younger people )
<Deddly>
Mat2ch, to be fair, good insulation is way better than AC
<Mat2ch>
yeah, not allowed to install an AC here. Because I would have to make a whole through the outer wall and the insulation and the plastering
<Mat2ch>
I have good insulation. That's the problem. The heat doesn't go out anymore!
<Deddly>
Mat2ch, I assume you are renting? Have you checked with the owner? In most places, I think owners would happily allow home improvement like that and will even often pay you to do it.
<Althego>
build an environmental tent inside a room with ac in the tent
<Mat2ch>
Deddly: Not here. Here the plastering is more important than the renters health (even though it's cracking everywhere...)
<Mat2ch>
Althego: I really really thought about that already. :D
<Mat2ch>
And I have glas doors everywhere and no windows. Which are huge. And let a lot of heat in, even though I have the shades down. It's just crazy.
<Mat2ch>
I'm waiting for the law that'll allow me to install an AC and the owning company cannot say no anymore.

Also, moving apartments in Germany is a nightmare because you often have to disassemble the entire kitchen, cabinets and all, and bring that with you to rebuild in the new place

<Deddly>
Glass doors and no windows is a killer. That rules out the possibility of having a portable AC unit
<Deddly>
Well, unless you want to leave a door open
<Mat2ch>
yes :(
<xxcoder>
or turn door into stack of ac
<xxcoder>

<Althego>

I thought about having the glass in one of the windows replaced by a board, where I can cut into.
<Althego>

<Althego>
37C
<Deddly>
Do you have an extractor unit in the kitchen or any ventilation ducts that remove air from the apartment, Mat2ch? I wonder if it would be possible to rig something to that?
<Mat2ch>
Deddly: I thought about that. But it's reaaaallly sketchy
<Mat2ch>
also the air has to come from somewhere. So most likely from the outside as well. A split unit would be so much better. Also cheaper.
<Deddly>
Well yeah, but it sounded like that wasn't an option
<Deddly>
Do you have any ventilation coming from directly outside?
<Mat2ch>
nope
<sandbox>
in Scotland, air conditioning isn't a thing
<Deddly>
Not even through a little slat over the glass doors?
<Mat2ch>
that's the funny part. I have extraction fans in the kitchen and bathroom, but no place where air could flow in.
<Deddly>
In Sweden, AC is EVERYWHERE because people are installing heat pumps as an efficient heating solution
<Mat2ch>
I envy you.
<Mat2ch>
how are the house prices in Sweden? :P
<Deddly>
Oh I, personally, don't have one, so don't envy me. But envy me for living in a cooler environment :)
<Deddly>
Mat2ch, house prices in Sweden range from expensive in the cities to ridiculously cheap up north, 30 mins from town
<Mat2ch>
I need faster internet and a grocery store nearby ;)
<Deddly>
You can get a great little house in the country for 40,000 euro up north
<Deddly>
Fast internet is available everywhere here
<Mat2ch>
how about mosquitos?
<Deddly>
One word: Thermacell
<Deddly>
Put one of those out 15 mins before you want to be outside and pretty much all the mosquitoes are gone.
<Mat2ch>
does it come in 1000 l containers? :D
<Deddly>
Or, for a more permanent solution, there are propane-powered mosquito killers that you leave on for the whole season and they'll gradually reduce the mosquito population to almost non-existent for a square kilometre
<Mat2ch>
doesn't sound very environment friendly though
<Deddly>
It's only environmentally unfriendly in the sense that mosquitoes are great pollinators, so if everyone has one of those machines, it can be a problem. But very few people have them.
<Mat2ch>
yeah, we need to get rid of the blood sucking mosquitos. All others are good to have around.
<Deddly>
Well, there's the gas as well, of course.
<Deddly>
In the south, it's sometimes more expensive. In the north, it's cheap
<Deddly>
But normally it's cheap all over Sweden
<Deddly>
Those prices are in SEK and don't include taxes and fees, but you'll normally pay 1 to 2 SEK per KWh
<Deddly>
How much is it in Germany?
<Mat2ch>
30 to 40 Cents/kWh
<Mat2ch>
so 3.5 to 4.5 Krona
<Deddly>
Ouch
<Mat2ch>
I see lots of cheap houses in Kronoberg ;)
<Deddly>
I think the highest it went during that winter when all the electricity prices went up all over Europe was 6 SEK
<Deddly>
Kronoberg, eh? Nice!
<Deddly>
What's a cheap house to you?
<Mat2ch>
50000 EUR
<Mat2ch>
550000 SEK I guess
<Deddly>
Didn't realise they were that cheap down there
<Deddly>
Smaller towns, I guess.
<Mat2ch>
They all need a complete makeover
<Deddly>
Oh right
<Deddly>
Just make sure you're looking at houses that are for year-round living, not just for summer.
<Mat2ch>
I can't afford to move right now. But dreaming a bit is nice.
<Deddly>
It is :)
<Deddly>
Back to the AC thing... apartments over here almost always have small ventilation slats above every window to avoid radon buildup. You don't have anything like that?
<Mat2ch>
found the perfect house. It sits on an island in a sea.
<Mat2ch>
Nope. No radon buildup if the basement is sealed against it.
<Mat2ch>

hm. I'll call my large booster "Windowmaker"

Eddi|zuHause, so it looks like the ISS covers the same location around every three days. I guess there's a potential launch window that often, assuming you have a launch license for it

yes, but you might have enough room to fudge it one orbit earlier or later than the optimal launch window

Yeah, depending on your available Delta-V

but what differentiates a polish sausage from a german sausage?
<Deddly>
ChatGPT says Polish sausage (kielbasa) and German sausage (Wurst) are both broad categories encompassing a variety of regional and cultural variations.
<Eddi|zuHause>
that's a zero-content sentence.
<Deddly>
It's only the intro
<Deddly>
Ingredients:
<Deddly>
Polish Sausage: Typically includes pork, sometimes beef or veal, and is often seasoned with garlic, marjoram, and pepper. It can be smoked or fresh.
<Deddly>
German Sausage: There is a wide variety, but popular types like bratwurst often include pork or a mix of pork and veal, seasoned with spices like nutmeg, coriander, and white pepper.
<Deddly>
Texture and Flavor:
<Deddly>
Polish Sausage: Known for a coarser grind and a robust garlic flavor, often with a hint of smokiness if smoked.
<Deddly>
German Sausage: Texture can vary from smooth to coarse, with a range of flavors depending on the region and specific type. German sausages may have a milder taste compared to Polish sausages.
<Eddi|zuHause>
it's what a politician would say if he doesn't really want to say anything, but has to fill space to sound politically involved.
<Deddly>
(It goes on)
<Eddi|zuHause>
so, both are primarily pork based, and smooth texture is more common in german sausages.
<Deddly>
Assuming ChatGPT isn't just making it up.
<Eddi|zuHause>
that's a wild assumption.
<Deddly>
I learned from ChatGPT
<Eddi|zuHause>
apparently in austria there's a sausage type called a "polish sausage"
<Eddi|zuHause>
whether that has any relation to actual sausage from poland, i cannot tell.
