Yeah, Volkova went completely nuts, joined Putin’s party and tried to get elected, now shes full on Z war supporter and talks about how much she loves patriarchy. Katina remains sane and cant stand her shit, but I guess cant say no to a boatload of money so they occasionally reunite for shows at government funded events. Neither of them were ever lesbian, though. It was a shtick their pedo producer was playing on, which has undoubtedly traumatized them both.

I’m not claiming that AC units emit Co2 (other than at power plants).The problem is with closing windows and doors. I guess people see thing on the wall blowing cold air and assume it’s coming from outside, which it is not, and skip on airing the room they’re in, which, while not immediately hazardous, has detrimental health effects.

I don’t see what it has to do with anything. I guess you’re implying that by merit of lungs being less efficient the composition of air doesn’t matter as much, but it very much does, you dont want any toxic gases nor components being too high or too low, just like you wouldn’t want piss in your gas tank regardless if it’s a new or old car.

All HVAC systems recirculate the inside air, without bringing in fresh air.
You’re wrong on that one. Ducted air conditioning systems do bring fresh air in, as well as positive inflow and heat recovery ventilation systems.

It’s not, that’s why people dont suffocate indoors, you get tiny bit of fresh air in, a tiny bit of stale air out, so it has to stabilize eventually, but the level at which it’ll end up will definitely be in the impairment range. Brain fog, fatigue, heavy breathing, trouble concentrating, that kind of stuff.

You might be right but I am certainly not opening my windows once an hour during winter, if that’s the standard then we’re all screwed by the time we go to bed with the windows closed. I don’t think this problem is significant enough to justify running an Air Conditioner with the windows open…
Just to be clear, I dont mean wide open, just a litte slit to let some air in, which should be totally enough to keep levels below 1000ppm. If you’re just airing twice a day you get to 450-ish briefly but it jumps back in an hour or two and you spend the rest of the time somewhere in the 1500-3000ppm range. And I feel that about winter, yeah, it’s either warmth or fresh air, gotta choose one. Not even heaters can spare one from annoying cold breeze. But in summer it’s at least avoidable. Whole point is, even right now where I am, whenever I go anywhere, I see AC’s set to some stupid low settings, like 18C or lower, so the places are colder than they are during winter, but the air is so stale I feel like I could swim in it, which is arguably even more wasteful than running AC straight out the window, but it’s so hard to get the point across to people, especially the oxygen-deprived ones inside those places…

I can have the windows closed all day with no AC and not worry about rising co2 levels
That’s the thing about co2, you don’t really notice it unless at extreme levels, but it definitely affects you, at pretty much all levels.
split device with an outside unit, it does actually bring in fresh air
That’s the common misconception. The lines running between minisplit units are for refrigirant, not air. It’s essentially a fridge without a box, with the room where theyre mounted becoming the box instead.
Why would it be different with this device running and circulating air? It’s not like it emits co2.
It doesn’t. It’s just that people who run AC’s usually shut everything closed and then exhale all that co2, which in an ordinary room with just 1 person in takes <1hr to reach noticeable impairment levels. AC or not, ventilation is important.
The only point of concern would be if you have a gas heater for water etc
You’re probably thinking about carbon monooxide, not carbon dioxide?

Beware that those things do not bring fresh air in, so if you close windows shut the Co2 levels would rise rather quickly and elevated co2 levels are linked to decreased cognitive abilities. I’d suggest running them with windows open if you can afford it.

The only reason you even need a straw in the first instead of drinking from the cup like a normal human being, is because fast food chains dilute your drinks with frozen water.

Weird. Chugging cola from gallon jugs sounds like the most American thing one could think of, strange it’s not a thing yet. Also never understood why Americans buy milk in jugs. Isn’t this like the one thing you actually want to be in the smallest container possible? Do people drink that much milk, or are they commonly tossed unfinished when it inevitably spoils?
