The idea that the optimum room temp is 19C - 22C (66F - 72F) gets trotted out all the time, but what people fail to mention is that is considered "ideal" with blankets and pajamas. Dive deeper and you will find that the caveat is that underneath that layer of blankets and clothing, the body is encased in a microclimate of temps between 31C - 35F (88F - 95F)

I find myself constantly waking up to adjust blankets/sheets when I use them. I go to sleep comfy, wake up sometime in the middle of the night hot and throw them off, and then later wake up again cold and put them back on

With an elevated room temp, shorts/short sleeve, and no blankets I fall asleep and stay asleep through most of (if not all of) the night. The only downside is it takes slightly longer to fall asleep, but the upside of sleeping through the entire night is worth it

Summer came late where I am. We stayed relatively cool (<90F/32C) most of the season up until the past few weeks. Man when it, it really hit

System has no issue keeping the house at 80F/27C when it's less than 100F/38C, but between the sun loading and the high heat she is struggling. But when it's running like this the humidity is low enough that it's not unbearable inside. Just under 50% at the moment

How's your unit doing in this?

He was hired as an "Offensive Wizard" yet never lived up to that. Ravens consistently put out bottom tier offensive performances outside of two seasons. But look what he had to work with: Banks/Dilfer, Grbac (with a makeshift line and no Lewis), Redman, Boller, Smith, and the ghost of Steve McNair. '07 was a nightmare season between key injuries and offseason losses. We weren't a good team, it wasn't all on the coach either

I know it was pretty much inevitable he was out, he apparently rubbed ownership the wrong way even before that season. Besides that the team had attitude and discipline problems that Billick couldn't rein in. But what if Billick stayed for '08?

Was Boller's lack of output due to Billick not being able to develop a QB? If so, does Flacco follow a similar trajectory?

Or does Billick finally get the QB he needed in Flacco to unlock his offensive prowess?

I see a not insignificant number of people on this site who claim that even what would be considered "moderate" temperatures severely affect them

Like one guy was saying his in-laws kept the house set to 25C (77F) and he was sweating so bad his shoes were sloshing with it

Numerous people claim anything over 15C (59F) makes them start sweating

How do these people function out in the world?

Out of solidarity with our friends across the pond out in Europe, I haven't turned my AC on yet. I have not entered an air-conditioned space at all in the past three days

It is currently 86F (30C) inside my house and I'm not suffering. The highest indoor temp so far was pushing 90F (32C) and outside temps have been in the 90Fs for over a week now

Your body really does acclimate to this after a while. This is the latest in the season I've ever left AC off and I'm surprised by how much easier this is than I thought it would be

They both play in the same NJ stadium

If you want to go by history, they both began playing in Manhattan

So how does one from NYC decide which New Jersey team they're rooting for?

Idk why but this has always bothered me. If you aren't actively searching for something in there, putting something in there, or pulling it out then close the door

He's been passing through the neighborhood on his "commute" for years now. Super nice guy, just probably the happiest guy you'll ever meet in those circumstances. He comes by and stops to talk to everyone for a minute whenever you're outside and always says good morning or good afternoon

A couple weeks ago he asked me for three bucks (he's never asked for money before) and all I had on me was a twenty. He promised, swore up and down he'd bring me back the change. I gave it to him and he thanked me then set off. As soon as he left I thought to myself, "he's not going to bring any change back and I'll probably never see him again"

I'm not even mad about the twenty, I handed it to him fully expecting to be out the full amount

I was driving home from work a few weeks ago and turned onto the street that leads to my house. The intersection where my house sits was blocked off by cop cars, a tow truck, an ambulance, and two wrecked vehicles. Once again there had been a pretty gnarly accident at that intersection, both cars were obviously totaled. I had to turn around and go in the alley to get to my house.

Before we continue, I'll kind of give you the lay of the land. This is a neighborhood, its not a main road or thoroughfare even though people treat it as such. But, it sits between two fairly busy roads and is three blocks long in between the two. Idk what the original city planner was thinking, but there's no stop signs coming up/down that street, the intersections are only two way stops with the cross streets. Even though its a 25mph zone, we get traffic hauling through here constantly. Something I have been pressing the city to do something about since 2019 or so

Anyways, I'm sick of it. I go up to my front window and take pictures of the wreck, which obviously happened well above 25mph, and start drafting another email. This time, I get on the city website and CC every MFer who has their email address up there. From the Mayor to the city council and every department head on the website. I let them know how many of my neighbors have kids/grandkids who play outside, how there's plenty of homes with dogs, and how kids use that street as a shortcut to/from school

The next day at work, I finalize that and send it around 10am. To my surprise, the mayor got back to me and said he'd talk to engineering. To my extreme surprise, when I get home I see they set up a speed camera to monitor traffic at the end of the street. Currently, the highest score I've seen is 47mph, forty freaking seven miles per hour in a 25mph zone

Obviously someone is monitoring this thing because a few days after that one of the city commissioners emailed me telling me how seriously they take traffic safety and if I had any questions to reach out. Seeing what I've seen from the time I spend outside, I cannot imagine they don't do something permanent to slow down traffic here. I really think it is finally happening
