alt text for four panel image

First panel: a poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids asks a smart™ thermostat “hey little man hows it goin?” Second Panel: the smart thermostat points with a large arrow at a screenshot of a graphic that reads “August Trends: Heating & cooling compared with last year”, and shows zero hours more heating, 129 hours more cooling, with a small caption underneath that reads “On average, temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than August 2022” Third Panel: the poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids is shown with an unreadable smile in front of a semi-transparent image of a NASA article that reads “NASA Clocks July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record Ever Since 1880” Fourth Panel: the poorly drawn figure says “yea”

    Air conditioning costs have been ridiculous this year. I have had to both run it for longer and electricity costs more.

        that is 25 °C in metric.

        Unless living in a swamp 27° C or 81°F is the earliest we’d use a fan most of the times though. I thought you’d have to get your flats to 31°C/ 90°F when complaining about how expensive AC is. 25/77 is really luxurious

          Haha I just work in 30°C with a fan that feels like it does nothing at those temps. In this house we sweat like pigs during the summer.

        Where we live, I’d run the A/C very few days in the summer. My husband gets so uncomfortable in the heat, though.

        A/C sometimes makes me feel disproportionately cold. I’m not sure why. I can be outside working in the winter, no problem, but A/C is something else entirely.
