It is 73 degrees here with a nice breeze and my neighbor's A/C just kicked on...

You lucky duck! It has been in the low 90's with a heat index in the 100's here for weeks now!!

Some people can't stand humidity. I admit, I'm fine on a 'dry' 80 degree day. On a "humid' one, I'll run the ac more or less just to dry the air. 73 wouldn't bother me.

Been pleasant here today for once. Currently at 86 with 30% humidity, which is the lowest in many weeks. Had my windows open all day and amazingly haven't even needed a fan. Probably around 81 inside, but compared to what it has been thats pretty damn nice! 🙂
 
Turning on the AC when it is pleasant outside can make it far more pleasant inside without costing more than a few pennies. Why not spend a few pennies to be just absolutely perfect.

The real energy waste is people who want it absolutely perfect inside when it is 108°F outside or when it is -23°F outside. People like your neighbor who take it from near perfect to perfect spend almost nothing compared to doing that.
 
I got in my car yesterday it read 123, of course it cooled to a real nice pleasant 112 after about 10 minutes
 
been 103 with high humidity every damn day here. it's like walking around in a hot wet blanket.


i would really like a thermostat that also regulated for humidity. 80 with low humidity is fine. 73 with high humidity sucks balls.
 
It has been in the low 80s here. Absolutely unacceptable.

I cannot wait for it to be 20 degrees and snowing.
 
It's all about dewpoints! When they get above 70F it can be very muggy/uncomfortable. With 100% relative humidity you are there when the thermometer is at 70F. In the tropics its not uncommon to see dewpoints well into the 80's. So a single pane window is completely fogged on the outside when the inside thermostat is 76F!
 
Humidity causes your dead skin which you naturally shed everyday to stick to your body making it increasingly difficult to stay cool. Now just imagine what happens when you throw a blanket on top of yourself at night with a moist dead skin coat on. Think about it and tell me how much that would disgust you.

You could market it as an all-natural skin moisturizer - it locks in the moisture and keeps your living skin looking great!
Then peel it off, toss it in a food dehydrator, and save money on Beggin' Strips.

But it won't sell anymore. Billy Mays isn't here. 🙁
