We have 35-40 degrees Celsius in summer, but absolutely everyone has air conditioning. Why don't you have them?
very expensive, idk if u read when i speaked here, but the minimum sallary here is around 1300 reais ( around 250 USD), and air conditioner will prob increase the electricity bills at the end of the month by around 200 reais or more( around 40 usd), our shower use electricity too, a " normal" energy bill with around 2-3 people here, is around 200-300 reais( more or less 1/5 - 1/6 of the total minimum sallary), still have to pay for house, food, and gas( we don't use the one that come in pipes, some houses have them, but they're pretty expensive and we only use to cook) we use gas cylinders to cook( cheaper).

resume.

using air conditioner would increase the bill so much that it would be around 1/2- 1/3 of the minimum sallary people receive here.

if we receive 1300, around 500 would be only for electricity... and housing is expensive too, the worst of the houses for around 600 reais it being very rare, more common to find 1000 reais houses to rent( in são paulo at least)...

only people with a really good sallary can use it here, like receiving around 10.000 reais( around 2.000 USD) ( i dont know if ther eu use . or , but i meant 10k and 2k

Rough... Honestly, I'm afraid to read this, because even the poorest people in our country can afford the simple benefits of civilization to an unlimited extent. It doesn't even have to be allowed, it's just affordable and very cheap. What you are writing is beyond my understanding and I am very sorry that life in Brazil is so expensive and inaccessible to ordinary people

XD, that is pretty cold here... would love if it was 16o celcius
Yeah my ideal temperature is 16-21°C (60-70°F for my fellow imperial users) Around this time of year though it averages about -4°C (27F) where I live.

I'm just super glad I have heat right now as we just went through a major rain and wind storm that caused almost historic levels of flooding and power outages. Some places had wind upwards of 90mph (145km) and over 7 inches (18cm) of rain. Which caused about 60% (500,000 customers) of the state to lose power.

About 8,000 people still don't have power today. I got power back on Thursday night after not having power on for 82 hrs. That last day the temperature in the house was down to about 4-5°C luckily we had lots of blankets and we spent that day at the in-laws who had power and a wood stove.

Nonetheless I very happy to have heat, power, warm food, showers, and wifi back! Hopefully by the next time we have another storm like this I have better secondary sources of heat and battery backup.

Ok folks👋, I probably will be out most of the day today since it's my Birthday today (and probably tomorrow too from eating all the junk food I can get my hands on).😊🎂🍰🧁🍿🥴🤮🤕🤒

So, If any of you missed AWA Winter Weeks of Sweeps Daily Login Rewards during the week, there are 2 more days left to claim them before the week is over(y), and make sure to Equip the Twitch Artifacts before you do the Twitch Quests after switching them for the Vault.(y)
Happy Festivus Birthday Legolas. 🥳
I hope somebody gets you some Cake & Coffee. 🎂 :coffee:

In Russia, they really like to celebrate holidays. So that you understand, we have 118 days off and holidays a year. That is, in fact, we have been working 2 \ 3 years, the rest of the time we rest, travel, drink, etc. The longest periods of holidays occur in May, when we celebrate Labor Day (hahaha, we worked hard) and Victory Day over the fucking fascists and in January, when work in the country stops for almost a month. No, officially people go to work, but believe me, this month is not considered a working month. Everyone is drinking, relaxing, going crazy and celebrating New Year and Christmas, which Orthodox Christians have on January 7, and on January 14 we have a strange and incomprehensible OLD NEW YEAR holiday for other civilizations (hahaha again). In the last days of December, I go on vacation with my family to another region of Russia for about a month. Maybe I'll go back home for a week on business and go back to them. I will periodically access the Internet from the hotel room via a laptop, but for sure my online activity will be much lower. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am very glad that I have the honor to be a participant in this forum. I found a lot of good friends here. I get a positive charge here. You are wonderful people, thank you for teaching me English, thank you for putting up with me (I know I'm not a gift) and I wish you good health, constantly win games and in life and most importantly enjoy it!

Glad you had power back, sometimes we understimate how important is having a warm place for cold winter, or having necessary things like power eletricity.

I lost power for a few hours myself just with a small touch from the same storm...and it was nasty.

I didn't even realize it, just sitting there gaming and all of a sudden lights out (thankfully I do have a battery backup UPS) and I didn't lose my progress :LOL: but we had no power for a few hours as well.

I plugged a lamp and my phone charger into another extension cord powered by my UPS and was pretty much good until power came back so I never even mentioned it, but I can see if I didn't have that how bad it could have sucked.
