@MichaelDDonalds@crimson77776219@Lurker640463@_britmonkey Storage is a big issue too - I live in a sizeable house now so it wasn’t a problem but in my previous flat it would’ve been really challenging to store the aircon, which is why I only got one after moving. American houses tend to be much larger
@MichaelDDonalds@crimson77776219@Lurker640463@_britmonkey Not sure - it might be just some sort of economies of scale thing with the demand not being high enough. And if you have to modify your window etc (which is probably true for most people), it’s easier to buy a floor unit with the hose - most people on my road seem to have one now
@MichaelDDonalds@crimson77776219@Lurker640463@_britmonkey Those American style window aircons aren’t sold here, nor they are really compatible with our windows. You can buy a portable aircon with a hose that goes out the window though, which is what I did. It’s quite nice, but the cost is still close to £1000 and you have to store it
@sobermediocracy Я в первый раз в Китае в похожей ситуации встал в очередь на такси и кое-как попросил таксистку доехать до кэш машины (через гугл транслейт)
@Rainhandss@daveinitalia@rhysrmann I was referring specifically to people using iPhones - it's turned on by default there (although not super obvious either)
@Cooleach@_Naklejki_ Это бутлеги на самом деле, без официальной лицензии - они придумали "загадочного Майкла Фроста" и издали кучу Fighting Fantasy книг под его авторством. Конкретно "Чернолесье" - например вообще перевод фанфика: https://t.co/hme3W4j2aC
