    Originally posted by -SpectraL Benny's right about the exhaust poison thing. Around here, idiots forget that the high winds can easily blow snow up to a person's waist, so what happens is they don't clear the snow away from the exhaust pipes on their home, so the pipes get blocked with ice and snow and they all die inside from carbon monoxide poisoning overnight. Some idiot just killed himself and his whole family the other day by forgetting to clear the exhaust pipes on the family home.

    thats some retard shit right there. theres no reason the exhaust vent couldnt be routed to the roof...the way exhaust vents have been installed since humanity invented homes...and completely eliminate any possibility of being clogged.

    Some here are done like that, but many are older houses which use PVC pipe which comes outside from the oil furnace at ground level.

    Originally posted by -SpectraL Everyone around here has to deal with that all the time. I insulate all my pipes by wrapping and taping old blankets, old towels, etc., around them. Many vehicles here won't start in the morning, because their engine blocks are frozen solid. We get quite a few people discovered in the mornings frozen stiff and stuck to fences and walls and lampposts, too. Heating is super expensive, especially electric heaters.

    Never hear of heat tape eh?

    heating lines will freeze I've seen it happen at a few apts. if people try and relieve the stuffiness by cracking a window,

    If it gets rly bad here, our city will open up the LRT stations as shelter.

    In nunavut it would suck even worse, not just the cold but the darkness, right now I think the day is 4hours long over there.

    When people freeze to death, they take all their clothes off, so you find them stark naked and frozen solid like a statue.

    This post led me to discover that Celsius and Fahrenheit become equal at -40 degrees.

    Fahrenheit is retarded.

    It's a more precise reading of the temperature than Celsius.

    Having smaller base units =\= more precise.

    When it gets above zero here we refer to it as a heat wave.

    It's really easy to remember 32° as the freezing point in F, then 0 as sort of the really fucking cold mark, and 100 the real hot mark. 1-100. Easy. 212° F is boiling temps for water but that's not really that necessary to know

    Shows your basic lack of comprehensive reasoning. If I measure a circle in degrees I can only report 360 directions from the center of that circle. If I measure that same circle in mil-radians (mils for short) I can designate 6283 directions from the center of the same circle. This means that mils can identify more points if measurement than degrees in a circle.

    Now apply what I just learned you to temperature measurement.
