This translation sounds weird to me, but it might be right.
As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

I don’t know Hungarian but the title sounds ok: in many places in Eastern Europe and in most ex-USSR republics heating is very centralized and done by huge heat generation plants. So every autumn we have a few weeks when it is quite cold already but there is still no heat in flats. Time when heating plants work is called “heating season”. In Ukraine, for example, those plants start work when the median temperature is below 8 degrees for 3 consequential days.
Yup, same, and the translation is correct. Tho sometimes because of the age of this comic they use words that are not exactly part of my everyday vocabulary like “idény” which means season but idk what the nuanced meaning is.
Dang, I didn’t know district heating was an old concept. I live in Belgium and it’s all the rage in new developments called “Écoquartiers”.
Northern Europe as well.
Very interesting. How is the heat distributed, steam pipes?
District Heating. Steam is used only in very old grids.
NYC has the largest such system in the world so it’s not just Eastern Europe:
