The next person who turns up the AC temperature in the office is going to lose an arm today. You have been warned.

Wouldn’t turning up the AC lower the overall temp?

I said turn up the AC temperature , not turn up the AC! Thinking of someone turning it up is making me sweat already. BRB going to check.

The sky is half smoke and half clear thanks to the Ferguson fires.  Plus it’s 105.  Breathing is a problem for sensitive folks, so I’ll need to keep my daughter indoors today.

My wife had a roommate after college who didn’t understand a thermostat. She’d come home and think it was too hot, so she’d turn the temp down to like, 50, AND set the switch to OFF. Same in the summer - too cold? Switch the whole system OFF because WTF

THAT’S WHAT THE DIAL IS FOR THOSE NUMBERS MEAN SOMETHING

Does something like an indoor air purifier work at all, even in like, a small kids room?

Yea, I mean it was way too hot in there so she turned the heat off. What are you complaining about?

I’m sure they do. She isn’t terrible with it like kids with asthma or anything like that , but still got to watch her. She has a “as needed” inhaler, which we don’t use very often.

When it’s cold outside but the sun is really warm, and we have the heat on at our house, my wife will open the front door (faces the sun) so it’s just the glass storm door that is now the thermal barrier. She has failed to notice that when she does this the furnace kicks on......

“Turn the AC up” (colder? Or raise the temp?)

“Clutch out” (release the pedal or push it?)

The two most confusing expressions in English, for some reason.

In the car, when I say “turn the AC up” I normally mean increase the fan speed and maybe also lower the temp or hit recirc. But in a home system, I usually mean “increase the temperature”

In a car, “ cluch out” means pedal on the floor. Anyone else is wrong.

If it were WaCanada it would be cold all he time. Unfortunately even in Wakanda there is that ONE PERSON who is cold all the time an has a space heater turned on as we speak..

Turn the AC up is to increase it’s output, making it colder. Turn the thermostat up would be turning the AC down. The confusion comes from using the wrong terminology to describe the object you are doing the action to .

Speaking of car AC. Thank God for those little dials that you turn to close off the vents when my wife is with me in the car. I just increase the fan as much as I want and she can close off her side.

As for temperature setting I read this recently and found it interesting:

As a technician, “clutch out” drives me insane. Clutch pedal depressed, or clutch pedal released. PLEASE!

Agreed, but in a home AC system with one fan speed and one output temperature, it can get tricky. Increasing the output of a home AC just means increasing its runtime, while a car AC can instantly change its output.

I have a space heater in my office. They’re thinking of moving the thermostat for the outer offices into mine...so I can run the space heater all day and freeze the rest of them.

I think the cusp is when people stopped thinking about how cars actually worked.

I learned from my dad, a mechanic, that putting the pedal to the floor was “throwing the clutch out” or to some people “letting the clutch out.” If you think about the clutch, it’s mentally simple.

But a lot of people just think about the pedal. Clutch in? Okay, push pedal to floor. That’s in. *bang head*

They say 109 today in Dallas. I walked into the office and the boss already has the ac at 64. One of the few perks of this job is nobody gives a damn about the electric bill.

He’s a true texan. Fan blowing directly on him and AC set at 70 or below even in December.

Then again considering we have thunderstorms and Tornadoes in December...we tend to deal with weather and the accompanying temps in our own ways.

I keep my apartment at 76 degrees F year round. My office (out of my control, sadly) is much cooler, and I keep an insulated coat at my workplace in the summer since the AC is so freakin’ cold.

I took an Alaska Airlines flight earlier this month, and I’m not convinced the temperature ever exceeded 55 inside the cabin at any point during the flight. True misery.

I’m glad I’ve scared you.

But seriously, I think I’ve posted about the asshat always leaving the heater on in the office, even when it’s 75 outside. And when I asked him not to do that, he said he liked it. Dickhead.
