Air conditioning and Markets

[baratron]

Today I am feeling depressed and panicky. The problem with sleeping in hotel rooms is the damned air conditioning. Firstly, it's impossible to control the temperature of the room the way we'd do it at home by throwing open a window, since the windows are sealed. The hotel room defaults to 22 deg C, which is too hot for comfortable sleeping -

Pennington is somehow affiliated with Addition-Elle although they look like competition. Both of them start around size 14 (34 waist 44 hip or so) and Pennington has a size range that goes to bigger sizes than AE. I do not buy jeans often enough to have useful recommendations. I wish we had Torrid.

You can't turn it off completely. ( See reply below). And the hotel is far too well-insulated for the outside temperature to have any effect.

! at the unadjustable(?) aircon. 22 degrees is way too hot, and I'd be using just the duvet covers. I'd also be giving them the option of me running the shower all night or them doing something about the humidity issue.

One of the things I like about Newark is that there are some farmers who come to the market on Fridays with their stuff. There are three other greengrocers on one or more days who have their own farms too.

It's not unadjustable. It has three modes, "heat", "cool", and "remain". (We don't know what the proper names are since it only has symbols). If you put it on "heat" it blows hot air, noisily. If you put it on "cool" it blows cold air, noisily, and completely dries out the room air. If you put it on "remain" it blows only very quietly and the air retains more humidity.

The problem is that if you set the temperature to, say, 18 deg C, stick the thing on "cool" until it gets there, then switch it back to "remain", the temperature of the room returns to 22 deg C. Even though you'd set it to 18.
