Are there people who don’t wear an extra layer indoors when it’s cold outside?
in 1977 Jimmy Carter suggested that Americans wear a sweater to keep energy costs down, and I had a Republican colleague who in 2022 would still bring it up about once a month.

A few weeks back I sent a support ticket to Discourse. “Hawk, Co-CEO” with a flying Hawk avatar replied. I assumed it was a pseudonymous shared by their support team.
