    Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire “hot side” is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.

    Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don’t really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.

  • A lot of these proce comparison sites are struggling with the sale, came camel camel has the same issues. It’s because the sale isnt universal, only for prime subscribers.

    Is it 20% off it’s lowest price? No it isn’t. But it’s still lower than its lowest price.

    Prices in Amazon fluctuate wildly. I have seen them be as much as 20% up or down in a matter of weeks.

    He really cared. He was then transferred to another store (even further from home) to try and improve their performance, and I heard about half the staff quit when he went. There was another manager from another branch who would visit a lot to cover for him, and everyone expected she would be the replacement… and she wasn’t. She was also really good. An unexpectedly good management team that actually cared and helped. The real “its super busy, I will take my suit jacket off and join you on the shop floor” kinda team.


  • A series of fortunate events. 3 year course at university doing Product design. then about a year in and out of retail jobs. then i saw in a news paper a listing for a job which required a designer. At the time the store i was working at was very happy with my work, but the boss was an amazing person. They drove me to the first interview, as it was very close to their house.

    3 Interviews later they called me saying I got the job, and it has been that way ever since. I feel lucky that my current career is a similar path to where i wanted to go. It was either an IT role or a design role, and my teachers at my school heavily encouraged me to take the design route.
