"room temp" is 70-72. I think a lot of ppl would find 78 approaching the "uncomfortably warm indoors" range

We keep the HVAC at 26.5-27 C to avoid getting a cold due to inside-outside difference since it's 33-39C outside.

I do this during peak hours due to variable electricity rates between 2pm and 7pm M-F, but you bet your rear end the moment it hits 7pm the thermostat goes down to 72F.

I'm bizarre
The AC removing the humidity seems to be more important then the raw air temperature in terms of comfort. I can be comfortable at 74, but miserable at 68 depending.

It's 78 in here most of the day in the summer and I'm totally fine. 72 would probably even feel chilly to me when it's 90+ outside.

Suffering from chronic rhinitis, if i get a cold i also get "i would like to split my head on the nearest pointy corner thank you" migraines. Also i pay 0,30€/kwh now so i'm not eager to make the HVAC burn power if there is no strict need.

You let the wolves in. Why would you do that?
72 or 74 during the day is for people who live in rationale places with reasonable climates. Those of who live in stupid places with unreasonble climates (like much of the American Southwest) keep our ACs higher. Not because we enjoy 78+ temps, but because it's too expensive to do otherwise. Or if you have an older unit or an older home with worse insulation your AC may not even be able to keep your house at 72.

Mini splits are heat pumps...

Edit: for most installs they are more efficient as well, since you remove the ducting losses and each room gets exactly the cooling it needs directly.

Much easier to insulate a small coolant line than a large air duct.

DP: Seriously, why is anyone sholling for central air cooling? It only exists since we had furnace setups from the word go.

Reversible(Heating & Cooling) mini splits are the future, gently caress central air.

forced air with a heat pump that can control air flow to upstairs and downstairs zones separately is better than 7 mini splits in your house.

Do we have a heat pump thread anywhere? We've been talking about getting heat pumps installed but I don't know what the best option would be and don't want to clog up the thread with my questions.

I mean, if I lower the temp to 25C I start to get runny nose and shivers since my body expect a baseline temp and the environment is lower than that. If you guys can move from 40C to 20C and not have any adverse reaction, I envy your youth and wish to remember that after a certain age you will not be able to pull similar stunts.

I never said that tho? I said my body gets hosed up. If you guys feel better i can say "my body will get into an adverse state where it will show symptoms such as migraines, muscle and bone pains, runny nose, shivers, rashes and chilblain" instead of "getting a cold". Good christ.

Agreed, I was noticing this too.

Concerns about his channels being seen as trustworthy aside, it further validates the stuff Madison was saying in that whenever she was bringing up legitimate, substantiated issues about her treatment or abuse from others, it was spoke of by upper management and around the office as "drama". Just another cool way to invalidate and perpetuate abuse and not address real issues.

I think the only effect will be the comment section being a 70% of stans congratulating on fighting the woke crowd, 15% of artificial contrarian that would never touch ltt but now they need to fight for feminism or whatever they feel like and 15% real angry people. No adverse effect otherwise.
