  They did an excellent job of sweeping this under the rug while crowing about evil liberal turbines.
context: I have ice on the inside of some of my windows and a space heater in my room that is barely keeping it above 60°F.
  I feel like I am living like a king right now. >
  
  I'm in California. I feel like a tool. >
  
  I'm in central CA, it actually has been below freezing at night. Xmas day is supposed to be 70 during the day though lol >
  
  I'm in the Bay. It was getting close to freezing about a week ago but now we're sitting at 62/42 for the next few days. >
  
  Yea, last week was miserable here too by California standards but also nothing to complain about compared to anyone else... >
  
  Yeah, true. My students were walking around wearing blankets telling me they were freezing. I told them they don't know what cold is. To be fair, neither do I, but I know it exists. >
  
  Cold is when you get frost bite walking from your front door to the mail box 50 feet away. >
  
  I believe it >
  
  I hate it! I live in the northwest. We never get this cold west of the cascades. >
  
  I'm so sorry! I'd send you a scarf if I could (it's all I can crochet!) >
  
  Was on a rez in ND last winter when we were snowed in. I was staying in a Katrina trailer apartment when we lost power for one day. I couldn’t imagine longer. >

  Pretty sure the insulation is toxic >
  
  The wood off gasses things like formaldehyde. >
  
  I grew up on a ranch 50 miles west of the Pine Ridge Reservation. You will not find a bunch of poorer people than the people who live there. It is just massive poverty. It breaks my heart to hear this. My dad was one of the few ranchers who used to hire them for work on our ranch, (This was back in the early 60's, he sold the ranch around mid 60's). >
  
  In eastern Europe poor people buy clothes (per kg) thrown away by West / Middle Europeans to heat because it's cheaper than wood or coal >

  Where? How many geographical subdivisions of Europe are there? >

  This sous vide med rare free range dolphin safe American wishes you a happy new year. >

  2021 Texas power grid failure, families were burning their furniture in their fireplace for warmth. 200 people died. >
