You're what I'd call a sensible tourist. But lots of people seem to go abroad to see cities. WTF is so interesting about a city? It's just concrete buildings! Go see nature FFS.

I've never seen a steam radiator. The water ones in the UK require manual venting. And most of the air in my system gets jammed in the pump, stopping the whole system from producing any heat. Then I have to clamber up into the attic and release the air from a struggling pump, which is probably damaging itself.

So, not better than forced air, then.

I think they both have advantages and disadvantages.

I am pretty much that way. I am OK from about 65 to 95 in shorts and a T shirt. If it gets much colder, I put on a hat.

Ah, a sensible person for once. Although that photo seems to contradict itself - a cosy hat and gloves, but shorts and tshirt with no socks?

Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, and all that fusty s**te doesn't draw tourists? I suppose you wouldn't necessarily need living royals. For that matter people apparently shell out money to get in the proximity of a dead one.

This was just a momentary thing as the compressor cycled down, not a constant vibration. The new ones don't really do that. These were old piston compressors that were huge compared to the ones today. A 1 ton window shaker weighed over 150 pounds and ran on 240v. Now you can get an inverter model that weighs about 80 pounds and runs on 120 @ 8.25a (990w).
