2) yes - I own a pair with an electric heating element. I'm not quite as fast as normal, but they work just fine.
3) This one is fair, but you just need to avoid the heaters that pull a ton of power. Shoot for something around 200 watts (or anything that will run on usb) with an auto-off. A lot of folks will plug in 1500 watt heaters (because they're small), and not realize they're pulling a LOT of power. A standard 20amp/120v circuit in the US can only support a single 1500 watt heater (maxes at ~2400 watts) and 2 will start blowing fuses.
4 & 5) They do work - I promise. Also consider a head covering (beanie/hat or something).

It's not really a preference/compromise discussion - in most cases office buildings are running their AC/heat to shoot for minimum costs. Add in relatively poor airflow and building designs that have warm/cold pockets and it's literally impossible to make everyone happy.
- xboxnolifes 5y ago> 4 & 5) They do work - I promise. Also consider a head covering (beanie/hat or something). I'm not sure why it seems to be so common for people to be so persistent about increasing core temperature to make extremities comfortable. It's probably good advise for life and death scenarios to keep your extremities workable, but I can assure you that it's not an uncommon occurrence in the winter for my hands to be freezing while im sweltering elsewhere. I usually have the opposite relation with core temp and extremities where covering my feet or hands makes up a much more significant temperature difference while inside. All else the same, socks vs no socks is a significant difference between being comfortable and not based on the temperature.
- horsawlarway 5y agoPeople are pretty consistent because it's a known physiological reaction. Cold hands and feet are almost always a sign of poor blood flow in extremities, Making the heart beat faster (ex: doing 15 pushups/jumping jacks) helps the most. Decreasing blood vessel constriction helps as well (increasing core temp/ decreasing heat loss). Alcohol has a similar effect, and will increase blood flow to the extremities and increase heartrate - this is why it's so commonly thought to warm you up (note - it's not, it's just increasing blood flow and getting it to your hands/feet more quickly & easily) Unfortunately - no one is identical, reynauds is a condition where folks have an extreme version of the constriction of the blood vessels in their hands/feet in response to cold. You may be farther along that scale.
