    at our old condo we generally kept our AC at 78 anyway and it was fine. in our new place the upstairs gets a lot warmer than whatever the thermostat is set at, so we've been dropping it to 75 at nights, and leaving the fan on "on" instead of "auto". the stuffiness is more bothersome than the heat itself, and opening the windows does no good since its always dense, humid air at this time
    You're in Charlottesville right? I just looked it up and your dewpoint is like 49F right now. Last week in San Antonio we were having dewpoints in the high 70s in the middle of the day and mid 70s Monday and Tuesday this week. Sorry man I can't call ~50F dewpoint humid. Seems like comparing apples to oranges the difference in 78 degrees there vs in a place like San Antonio, Austin, or Houston if ~50 degree dewpoint (eg absolute humidity) is standard.

    you caught us at a good time imo. Last couple weeks were worse. Weather this week has been nice. Cool evenings for once

    bear in mind my frame of reference is coming from having lived in LA

    I see your average lows are in the mid 60s in summer. Ours are in the mid 70s. Dewpoint can't exceed temperature and out here dewpoint = daily low temperature usually in the summer so yeah your humidity is nowhere close to ours so a complete apples to oranges comparison. But I can see how any place would feel humid compared to LA.

    Ugh ~75 it really feels disgusting. ~80 though is really nasty. Thankfully it rarely gets to 80 dewpoint here but imagine it does pretty often in Houston, which is a whole other level of humidity that makes San Antonio feel comfortable in comparison.

    Chinese are coming for your electricity Texas.

    Bitcoin miners exit China, beat a path to the U.S. as crypto climate shifts.

    Jiang Zhuoer became a multimillionaire a few years ago by operating some of the most lucrative mines in China. His commodity? Bitcoin.

    Jiang had about 300,000 computers humming around-the-clock in 20 specially ventilated warehouses across remote northern China, guzzling enough electricity to power a small city. The sophisticated machines cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The digital currency they minted was worth even more.

    Today, Jiang, a fast-talking 36-year-old, is winding down in China. He and several Chinese investors — some who became billionaires off bitcoin mining — are considering shipping their equipment to Texas and Tennessee.

    China’s bitcoin moguls are coming to America.

    For years, Chinese miners like Jiang were enabled by the glut of cheap — and often dirty — electricity in China, where a massive fleet of coal-fired plants and hydroelectric dams fueled the country’s rise into an industrial behemoth. At their height in 2018, China’s bitcoin prospectors accounted for 74 percent of the world’s bitcoin production....

    But the arrival of industrial-scale mining in U.S. communities could raise the same thorny questions about the technology’s environmental impact that have vexed officials in China.

    Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences this year predicted China’s bitcoin mining industry by 2024 could consume more energy than Italy. University of Cambridge researchers estimated that bitcoin miners globally accounted for more energy use than Argentina....

    One Chinese miner, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared political repercussions in China, said he predicted 60 to 70 percent of his peers would migrate their operations to the United States or Europe.

    He said he is building about 50 shipping containers to house his computers to plop onto an oil field in West Texas, and is breaking ground on a 33-megawatt site in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

    Texas looks like a third world country sometimes. It was a perfect example of how capitalism is not always beneficial to the population. Some things are better when handled by the public sector.

    How a week-old fire at Comanche Peak shut down a nuclear power unit and pressured Texas’ grid

    The cause of fire in a main transformer at the plant 60 miles southwest of Dallas remains under investigation.

    has been offline for more than a week following a June 7 fire in the main transformer,

    putting pressure on the Texas power grid and

    contributing to this week’s plea for statewide conservation.

    Republicans and greedy energy companies not only can't keep the lights on, ratepayers will be paying for the privilege of getting screwed by the same for twenty or thirty years.

    Meanwhile, public bonds and money from the RAINY DAY FUND will heal the energy companies.

    If only education, healthcare and (other) infrastructure were so lucky after an epochal pandemic.

    and an avoidable winter blackout. the problem was known after 2011, and Republicans did bupkis to fix it.

    Republicans are bad at governing. Why do they hate the public and undermine the public good?

    Profit before people, tbh.

    Though as soon as mother er Biden got his illegitimate ass in there he promptly shut the pipe line, thus (undermine the public good) at a rate of a $1 more a gallon gasoline, just like mother er Hussein did 12 years prior...The democrat credo:::"Make President, installed or not and raise gasoline a $1 a gallon."

    Every ing time you get your asses in there. I'll turn that question around to you, Winester:::"Why do they hate the public and undermine the public good?"

    it, I'll answer: because they got theirs and don't give 2 s, not 1 ing lick for "the public good" because THEY GOT THEIRS!!! (They) can afford to us over, because THEY GOT THEIRS!!!

    Like pullin' in' teeth with you, Winester.
