thecodeboss,

Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like “chemical-free”. Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I’ll just assume you’re uneducated and afraid of things you can’t pronounce.

thecodeboss,

My legs generally don’t get cold. Even in that -20 C weather my legs just don’t seem to be bothered. I have no idea why, other than I’m acclimatized to cold weather or something, though it’s possible there’s some nerve issue in my legs that makes me not feel the cold - again, no idea.

Other parts of my body get cold, like you won’t catch my shirtless or shoeless in that weather.

On the other hand, if I wear pants, my legs will sweat profusely and get itchy, which is way more uncomfortable to me. I’m also generally a very warm person, and usually sleep at night without a blanket covering me (otherwise I’ll sweat all night and be uncomfortable). If I turn the thermostat down then blankets become tolerable, but then everyone else in my house will complain it’s too cold.

I’m also aware of the dangers of frostbite, so if I expect to be in -20 C weather for extended periods of time (like an hour or two) then I’ll put on pants. If it drops to -30 C then I always put on pants no matter how long I plan to be outside.

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion, though I expect it also raises new ones.

thecodeboss,

This is how I met my wife 10 years ago. It was -20 Celsius outside and I was in shorts waiting for a bus. She came over to ask why I was wearing shorts, which sparked conversations and now we’ve been married for over 5 years.
