Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I just turn off the thermostat in the winter, set the fridge to max, open the blinds when the sun is hitting the windows, and overclock the gaming PC. Doing those simple things, the house stays a comfortable 69-72°F the entire season. Usually that's way too cold for me, but with the humidifier set to 50%, it's actually quite comfortable. Unless you live in a place like Florida, a whole-home evaporative humidifier is a must-have.

Even if my partner and I were gaming 24/7 (we aren't) the pipes would freeze. My fridge is always set to max because, well, I like my things to be cold or frozen if they're supposed to be. I also have better things to do than run around opening blinds when the sun hits them, and closing them when a cloud passes by.

There are a lot more places that don't require a humidifier than Florida. Essentially any rainforest or jungle. I grew up in the PNW and we used dehumidifiers to keep things from molding.
