First of all, many many homes do not have grounded outlets.

Where do you live?

Second, I've seen other people attach a wire and run it out the
window to the ground.

I would report that to the nearest building inspector, if I ever
saw it.

Third many people attach the wire to a cold water pipe.

That's the proper way to do it.

So I'm looking for solutions, not sarcasm.

So attach a ground bus to the cold water pipe, with solder. Not
the "painted radiator pipe", you ignorant bitch.
