Not really. I do it all the time. I guess it depends on what you're doing and if you have any medical issues with circulation. As it is I usually don't break out the jacket until it is regularly below 20F and I don't usually break out a full blown coat unless the temp is under 5F. If I'm doing any actual work then I actually find that I'm usually better off being more lightly dressed because in cold weather you're far better off being slightly chilly than getting slightly too warm and sweating. Sweating will kill you in cold weather.
Mood. I was working on a roof the other day when I happened to pull out my psychrometer for a thing and saw the ambient temp was 106F with a dew point of 87F. I just thought "Oh. That's why I'm light headed and my face is fucking tingling."
If it was then I didn't interpret it that way at all. It's all good. The job does frequently suck and anyone doing it solely for the money is going to be miserable.
Oh yeah, it makes the jobs suck much worse. But the pay is still nice. Or at least that's what I tell myself whenever I find myself working in a location where the dewpoint is getting concerningly close to body temp.
Most bar ice machines are full of snot like microbial jelly. Even if the ice machine is properly deep cleaned it will be back to some extent within only a few weeks.
In reality it's harmless (if the machine is regularly and properly cleaned) because it's mostly just yeast colonies caused by yeast being flung into the air from the beer. Yeast loves ice machines for some reason and grows very quick. Assuming the ice machine is properly cleaned regularly and not subject to overly filthy conditions then there shouldn't be anything actually concerning growing in there. But now you are forever cursed with the knowledge that any ice you get in a bar likely came from a machine full of biological slime.
Also the issue can be mostly mitigated by built in air sterilization units or completely prevented by feeding the machine with ozonated water, but I've never met a bar owner willing to pay for those options.
I'm in the US and I never got any formal education in my trade (HVAC-R). Most of the techs here didn't. The few techs we've hired who did go to trade school came out of it with practically no knowledge which couldn't easily be taught on the job in a couple months. It seems like, for HVAC at least, the tradeschool programs teach enough that maybe you could manage some light residential work, but they barely touch on refrigeration, let alone the heavy commercial and industrial refrigeration we often do. When evaluating candidates, a tradeschool cert means less than a year of experience in some sort of maintenance position.
The same seems to be true of many other trades. At least in my state no certs are required or even beneficial to become a licensed plumber or electrician. Those liscenses are all based solely on years of experience. Technically you can become a master electrician solely with an electrical engineering degree and 0 years of experience but if you have that degree then you probably have better jobs available to you.
As a tradesman who does a lot of work in schools I feel you. Gotta love those moments where the wrench slips, you lose a knuckle, and need to quickly remind yourself not to teach the passing crowd of first graders a whole bunch of new vocabulary.
You never know. My dad has been a life long handyman but he also has MS. His body still works pretty damn well considering his age but that's only until he gets too warm and his legs suddenly stop responding. He can still do most of the things he used to do just only in short stints. However, prolonged physical exertion leaves him unable to walk.
There are a lot of handicapped people who will look perfectly fine to the average person but may have a limited ability to remain fully physically abled for more that short periods of time.
Honestly just been kinda numb for a long time now. It's going to suck when my brain actually starts processing things again, but, for now, I'm a human robot level of functional.
Or enemies. I did also meet a actual piece of human garbage incel that way. DnD groups always seem to be either the most wonderful progressive people you'll ever meet or the most vile human beings on the face of the planet. It's kinda weird how little middle ground there is.
I don't even like my aircon set that high.

A jacket at 30F? That's still t-shirt weather.

Simple. They're not "male socialized", they're just an asshole.
HVAC is booming right now. That's about the only bright side of the planet getting hotter.

That's what the toilet brush is for.

Multiple rooms? In this economy?
Flesh Interaction is the name of my garage band.

Literally same. I only have my current friend group because someone I used to work with practically dragged me to a DND game.
Simply don't.
