The discussion of the untenability of open air gas burners is an excellent didactic exercise; the demonstration of the heaters being religious artifacts is razor sharp. Hell, it's a reader's treat to have to untangle your rare knot, I don't really see a problem.

And this "exception that happens every season" is so very exactly how orc thought goes... Pregnancy's also not a state, but an exception that happens every year.

This was discovered through local press spreading "cheapest and most expensive ways to heat your space in a campaign that highlighted the ridiculousness of the folks doing the resistive electric heat thing and praised the minisplit heatpump air condidtioners as the way to go. Absent in the local discussion was the ridiculous situation where trucks carting around tanks of LPG beating piped gas on price should be anything but embarassing. Especially given this year's local handwringing over <a href="http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-27#1910131" >Petrobras wanting to give up their local piped gas business to anyone who can take it off them.</a> But then again in the local headcases, the gas is cooking gas. Winter's not really a season, but an exception that happens every year. And so the wood trucks also run around doing brisk business so the locals can burn eucalyptus in a bidding war against Europeans that would very much like to pulp the wood.
