What sort of technology exists in this day and age to heat living quarters?

There should be a dial or box on the wall in the front room of your apartment. It is broken?

[obsidian_tailor]

It's on at it's highest setting.

[non_veritas]

But you are still cold?

Does your body generate much heat?

[obsidian_tailor]

I am. And half cold blooded, I'm afraid.

[non_veritas]

A down-filled comforter might help -- they are popular in Northern Europe. However, they trap the body's heat. With no heat to trap, they may be ineffective.

[obsidian_tailor]

But if I coupled them with the use of one of these charming hot water bottles...

[non_veritas]

I would consider a heated electrical mattress pad. That will give the comforter something to trap.

[obsidian_tailor]

And none of these contraptions are fire hazards?

[non_veritas]

Here? Perhaps.

Otherwise, though, I am told they are safe if used correctly -- safer than things like space heaters, for example.

[obsidian_tailor]

There are problems with space heaters?

[non_veritas]

Depending on the construction, yes -- they have been known to burn houses down.

[obsidian_tailor]

I see. What can be done to minimize the risk.

[non_veritas]

Does your apartment have a toaster?

Do not purchase a space heater that seems to work on the same principles.

[obsidian_tailor]

I'll tell Miharu- he's running the errand for me.

[non_veritas]

Miharu is a child. Tell him to get something with no visible heating elements.

[obsidian_tailor]

Thank you, that's more specific. I have faith in him.
