What sweater? Always in short sleeves and often in shorts unless we
were going to a nicer restaurant.
Maybe my dictionary fooled me...
I means the translation of Italian word 'maglione': something casual to
stay warmer (normally in winter, but also on too cooled places).
My dictionary translates 'maglione' as 'sweater'.
Ciao, Piero. |

I froze my ass off in Arizona in March last year. The lodge we were staying
at was built without any kind of insulation, the heating was supplied by
some stupid ceiling based forced-air system, that we had to turn off to be
able to sleep, and they only supplied some thin sheets for coverage.
You should visit Arizona in summer, then!
Not in a million years. |

My daughter will sometimes wear a sweater here in the U.S. in air
conditioning because she is cold natured. |

Normally, when scientists freeze cells, they replace the water in them
with chemicals that do not form crystals, putting the water back when
the cells are thawed. That method allowed investigators to successfully
freeze human embryos. But most cells, including embryos, have membranes
that allow cryoprotectants, the protective chemicals, to enter and
leave. The membranes of unfertilized eggs are nearly impermeable.

I don't think anyone is talking about liquid nitrogen in this
discussion. |

there's probably an Eu tax on that. |

Fortunately I'm not governed by the EU. At least not yet. |

Ciao, Piero.
Piero, I think you encountered older AC units that are quite
inefficient. Like you said, A/C has only been in italy for the past 20
or so years; probably because Italy didn't have the electrical
infrastructure to support it. Now they do and only newer efficient
units are available and being installed.
In older buildings I have seen air conditioning units older than 30
years. But there are newer window air conditioning units that are quite
efficient.
What I would like to see if a government program that allows sales tax
to be reimbursed if you replace these aging units.
My relatives bought me a maglione as a parting gift. |

There are some incentives this year but I don't know how extensive
they are. |
