It's not too late to invest in mining and energy extraction equities - many are still highly underpriced before the major funds roll into the sector

I'm sure that will keep you warm.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have a hard time typing when I'm cold. Putting on jackets doesn't seem to help, unfortunately. I can't imagine trying to work in a 55° room all winter.

(Heated) fingerless gloves?

I previously worked with a developer who told me of an employer he had while working in Russia who would turn off the heating. He told them to type faster for warmth. Not sure the gloves would help much.

Installed solar power last year and an air source heat pump. My pellet burner is still going to be the main source of heat/hot water though. Got pellets at the start of the year (with only 80% premium over last year, now the prices are 3x of what they used to be ), have wood to offset use of pellets and even some coal [just in case]. Replaced every bulb with LEDs from IKEA. Set all rooms in the house to 18-19 c. Goin…

You still had non-LED bulbs? We moved almost exclusively to them over 8 years ago in India.
