Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

My asthma and allergies didn't like the swamp coolers we used in the various places we lived before we got AC.

Like with real estate, it's all location, location, location. In Seattle/Tacoma 90F gets the locals complaining. They would positively melt in 30C (86F) weather, in Toronto.

Humidity really tilts the difference. I woke up here the other day, it was actually cooler than the previous day but I felt like I was suffocating because the air was so thick

Evaporative Cooler Chart (Humidity, Efficiency, Temperature Swamp Coolers)

Will using an evaporative cooler be effective? This is exactly what the evaporative cooler chart (also called the swamp cooler chart) tells you. In this chart, we are going to look at the relationship between temperature and humidity for the use of evaporative coolers; this will tell us how...

Very useful chart though. Thanks.

Let's see...today will be 100°F with 26% humidity. That means my DIY swamp cooler will bring the temperature down to about 80°F for the cost of running a fan all day. That's fantastic.

People absolutely became worse drivers after the lock downs. The increase in general anxiety doesn't seem to have helped.

I remember seeing people start blasting through four-way stops during lockdowns (I'm an essential worker, so I was still out and about). It's gotten a little better, but the average is much worse than it was before. COVID really did a number on the social contract.

I blame anyone who drives into North Jersey willingly.

I do like Jersey's jug handles. Those are nice eccentricity of road design.

I'm officially jealous!

RE: AC and the like

2024 - What's your AC Set At Poll?

It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which makes all kinds of articles about AC pop up on line. (And its in my head since I spent the week before last in a tent and am back in doors now).

This used to happen all the time where I lived too. I almost got T-Boned on multiple occasions going through a green light because somebody decided it was okay to blaze through a red at a four way intersection. Like you say, it has gotten better but it also sometimes seems like police have given up on enforcing basic traffic laws

It feels like you our channeling our neighborhood Facebook group's "conversation" this week ..
