The title. I live in NYC, and it tends to get humid during the summer. My AC has a dry mode, but it also makes my room cold. I've done a little bit of research, and it seems that a lot of dehumidifiers function in a similar way as AC, but just release all the heat in the room, rather than outside. Based on that, does it make sense for me to buy a separate humidifier? It mostly gets humid when it's hot outside, so I could just run the AC in dry mode and maybe use a separate heater for a little bit if it gets too cold, vs having a separate humidifier. Let me know your thoughts.

So I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I'm doing my PhD, but I'm not the biggest fan, and I was thinking about leaving with a master's next year. However, from my understanding, it wouldn't be allowed under the new changes to F1 D/S. From what we know, can anyone confirm this? That seems to really screw up my life in a major way.

They seem to be lab-tested and claim 17 STC reduction. However, they are around 400 bucks per curtain, which makes me a bit hesitant to buy them. Does anyone have any experience with them? I'm mostly looking to clock out occasional music coming from the outside.
