Just know that they only you allow to “carry on” a certain size container of peanut butter. I’ve seen TSA make someone throw a large container away. But you can check any size into your “checked luggage”.

That used to be my home alley, really awesome to see that it is still going. Growing up in the area there was not a ton to do, so the the next door comic book store and McDonalds plus bowling was hard to to resist.

This was a long time ago in Presque Isle, but I let them work on my old Jeep once and I watched them just rev the absolute piss out of it, take it for a joy ride and it was still broken. Worse, in fact.

Thermostat is set to 74ish, thermometer says it's 65ish. Whatever, it's an old building. If we're cold, we bundle up, if we're hot, we turn the heat down. When I go to bed I bump it down to 68 or so. The thermostat never reaches that low so it doesn't kick on all night.
It works out I guess, I can't sleep unless I've got blankets on anyways.

Rest of house is 65. Bedroom is whatever the outside temp is due to fan in window. We like the bedroom cold.

63, using heat pumps & propane fired forced hot air. The house leaks heat like a sieve even after shrink wrapping the windows and adding curtains and spray foam insulation and even filling the door when we're not using it with a 4" foam mattress to try to mitigate heat loss. Fortunately this is a temporary housing situation.

We have oil hot water baseboards and a pellet stove. I have the oil thermostat set to 55 at night, 60 in the day. I usually put the pellet stove on in the AM to heat up the house. The wife will turn it off at lunch (she works from home), then we'll turn it on again in the evening. When the stove is going it's usually 68-72.

Crank it as high as 68 when we’re freezing, occasionally, but usually between 63-65. Otherwise tabby cat complains.

I like my room cold and I can’t stand the house being too warm. When my family complains about the cold, I tell them to dress like we live in Maine. It’s winter, get the winter woollies on! When my nephew lived with me, he would crank the thermostat to 75-80 and run around in shorts. Lots of bickering, it was really annoying and disrespectful lol

Anywhere between 62-65, sometimes when it’s really cold we turn the thermostat up to 70/72, but it keeps the place around 65ish. We rent and the place isn’t properly insulated.

I don't even have a thermometer. But I feel like I must run the heat more than I should - blankets, hat, jammies, socks, and a hoodie. Still freezing. (Wood primary, propane backup)

Ours stays 60 degrees all the time. I do get tired of having to be bundled up in warm clothes all the times.
