Probably not a problem for everyone but it was a problem I was running into where my meds weren’t being as effective towards the bottom of the bottle and then would work great after a refill.

My meds are supposed to be stored between 67F and 77F and my apartment has been routinely getting to around 85F for days (and weeks) at a time and by the time I was getting close to the bottom of the bottle it wasn’t really working that well for me.

So I took one of those can fridges and added some temperature control to it to automatically keep it in the temperature range I need and also added a large bag of dessicant in there to keep the humidity low as those little can fridges suck up moisture something fierce.

So basically make sure your meds are stored properly or you’ll probably have some additional issues that you really don’t need.

    No worries

    And likewise on the growing up without central air, it took a long time to break the habit of everything going in the fridge (or at times the cooler)

    I don’t miss the days of chopping firewood to get hot water.

    I do have to say though that the novelty of running water on tap still makes me smile.

      We used the gas stove to heat water for a bath, when the solar water still wasn’t working well enough, or we just showered (very very quickly) cold. Life used to be so simple. Hard, yes, but simple. It was nice. However, I do very much enjoy modern amenities haha
