    A/C particularly, electricity waste. It’s damn ridiculous, even for Texas. Are northerners born in fridges?

      It gets to be 90°F with a dew point of ~75°F where I am.

      You can swim in the air with those numbers and absolutely suffer heat stroke. Fans just circulate the humid as fuck hot air. :(

        And that’s a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.

          Guys, I’ve literally lived on a tropic. Not talking about specific places where heat in times of climate change is a real health issue.

            I guess I got triggered by “northerners” lol I’m from long Island NY and it gets absolutely brutal in the summer. The NE gets surprisingly gross in the summer months
