13.5 is cold. At my place when the boiler was broke we were getting down to 12 degrees and you could see your breathe inside.

Off to near Wales on Tuesday to see a place my brother is looking to buy. poo poo thatch.

Nah, you don't start seeing your breath until well below 10. I did that one winter when I was extremely poor and living in an uninsulated victorian-built shop flat. The kind of cold that makes your olive oil solidify and your freezer defrost because the fridge isn't having to do enough cooling to run the shared pump effectively.

I don't recommend it.

Even now while it's starting to chill down I can't sleep with a blanket or duvet.
My house might be a cheap lovely 'affordable' newbuild, but it holds the heat pretty drat well. Average temp in my house is around 26°

So your username is wrong? It should be Salisbury Snake?

Maybe the thermostat was in a warmer bit of the house or I just have better, more visible breath than you.

worst place i ever lived was in an old hotel that had been converted into flats, it was a ground floor flat that had massive single-glazed sash windows that couldn't be replaced as it was a listed building. the flat also didn't have gas running to it or central heating so i all i had to heat the place was a couple of lovely electric radiators (plus the electric oven hobs which i turned on when it got really cold), which cost a fortune to run and did very little to actually warm the place up. i could pretty much always see my breath through winter and i had to wait until my lease ran out in february before i could move out. utterly miserable experience all round.

Yeah I lived in a house that was built in 1740 for a bit. Listed building so no hope of any heating better than the space heater in the bedroom. Also absolutely loving tiny, also no front or back yard so I had to put my rubbish in those bags the council provide and keep it in the living room. Grim. Cheap to rent by Oxfordshire standards, tho.

farts make pretty billowy clouds on thermal cameras.

the handbag is just shiny and maybe metallic which in the thermal infrared just reflects the environment.

if you have a fever and want to dodge a thermal camera just cover yourself in chrome paint, super fool proof scam

My friend took a photo of someone in an airport with that exact setup (ok, maybe not the generator) playing Smash Bros like... a year or so ago? Maybe just before the Switch version came out, but still no excuses.

E: found it. Dorks.

As a student I lived in an deathtrap victorian era apartment in Aberdeen; the coldest place on the planet. The electric heaters didn't even touch the cold in there, and the huge, ancient gas boiler was hosed and continually emergency vented steam. Turning on the hot water taps produced a spluttering mix of water and steam. My room had a sink in it, so I rigged up a very long length of copper tubing connected to the hot tap and basically created a steam heating system for the room. Worked an absolute treat (and was free). Only place I've ever lived where the landlord had a bodyguard with him at all times, fun times. Many years later I caught a news report about hookers/people trafficking and they were plying their trade from my old room so I guess it's a whorehouse now?

Probably on their way to a tournament. Gotta get all the practice they can if they want to beat whoever is the current best at smash (and not banned from the scene).
