    This shit drives me nuts. The locals will be like “oh well, the bugs usually aren’t this bad…”

    Sure Jorge, the bugs always just follow me from the US whenever I visit. The entire European continent has such a weirdly abusive relationship with the very concept of climate control.

      I do wish screens were standard here, or at least more common… But AC is typically an excess/luxury in most of Europe. Only common in offices, schools, hospitals and the like.

      People have started to get those portable standing ACs more often now that our climate is getting clapped, but window units are alien to us.

      Heat pumps are probably more common now
