So do I.

 

When you're inside that's cold as hell.

 

I live in Canada. That’s beautiful

 

Once acclimated, I'd be pretty cold at 67. Anything below 70 for a sustained period, no matter how hot it is outside, gets too chilly.

 

Most people I know in CA are in the SF area, and they tell me it’s pretty uncommon to even have AC because the temperatures are rarely not mild. I’ve been checking in with them and it seems brutal out there because there isn’t much to do to escape the heat.

 

If grandpa said the n word every 5 minutes who cares

 

I live in socal and in the 3 apartments and 1 house I've lived in since moving out of my parents' house, none have had central air and only 2 have had the shitty wall units that do barely anything.

 

Outside, 67 is beautiful. But there's a world of difference with temperatures inside vs. outside.

Agree. It's 75 in here right now, the same as the temperature outside, and it's glorious.

That's where my company is located and my boss lives there and was just talking about that. She's just happy they're not also dealing with wildfires there right now.

 

I grew up without central AC for most of my childhood, and even when we moved from that house to an apartment when I was a teen, we had it but didn't use it because electricity wasn't included in our bill. I did convince my mom a few times on the really hot heat wave days to use it there though because it was unbearable without it.

Probably why I'm comfortable with 75-78 AC. Also the downstairs of my current house is half underground so it stays cool regardless of what the AC is set at, and I hang out in our den down there a lot.

 

That being said, I know it won't be a popular take around here but I do feel bad for the brits. I'm sure it's an institution many of them feel some connection to and they haven't known anyone else in that role since the 50s or whatever. So sad day for them. But for the irish though....it appears the time has arrived:

 

People also just feel temperatures differently and some people get cold or overheat way easier than others. When I lived with my parents, they kept the central AC at 74/75, and that was never comfortable for me. It takes very little for me to sweat, and sleeping was miserable for me. Now that I live alone, I keep the central AC at 68 or 69 always and I’ve never once felt cold or uncomfortable in my house

 

I’m making reservations, who wants to join?

 

Never stop doing crimes

 

You've been to my house in the summer has it ever felt hot????

 

As a brit, I don’t really care for the Queen or the royals. That said, it’s never nice when someone dies and I feel for her family (well, William and Harry).

Thankfully, i’m flying to the US on Wednesday so can avoid a lot of the oncoming annoying coverage and boomers acting weird.

 

I've never been to your house in the summer, only spring and winter

 

Sometimes the worst thing about someone dying is that they died without justice being served and with their power lineage intact

 

I'm also not a complete monster if we have guests and they say they're hot I'll turn it down for them lol

 

Help. I want off this island.

 

i want it at 68 next time i come over
