    Yeah, the Balkans have had aircons since forever for this reason. Meanwhile dumbfuck boomers in Austria are blocking aircon installations because “it’s not that bad”, so we’re stuck with portable versions. Which are louder and less efficient. They also refuse to have split system with central units on the roof which are very quiet, because hurr durr too expensive for only 3 months a year. People are so desperate right now they’re willing to vote for anyone who runs their campaign on removing the law restricting aircon installations.

      A few more summers like this and they will all die. The vast majority of the people dying from the heat are 65+

        …mate, that’s what we thought during the pandemic but a depressing proportion of younger generations have also fallen for the siren song of reactionary propaganda…
