It is 100 degrees at night in Texas? Historical weather data shows more like low seventies and that's what I experienced when I visited there. Obviously not an option during the day.
People are responding pointing out that there are lots of places where it's too hot for this -- but actually, I do live somewhere this would work, except that the condo I live in has tiny slivers of barely-openable windows (I think it's because of the environmental certification the building got?) that don't let a meaningful amount of air in or out. All the heat from lower floors traveling up also then means there are times we have to run the AC in winter... thanks, architects.
When I was a kid growing up in Central Texas we didn't have air conditioning. In the summer we did sleep with the windows and the exterior doors open. There were screens on the windows and at the exterior doors for air circulation. You could sleep well with a lightweight sheet. Being young and being accustomed to spending all the time outdoors that I was allowed, I was totally acclimated to the situation. The worst part of all that were mosquitoes and chiggers in the summer. Once the nights became cool enough to require a blanket we kept the windows closed until things started to warm again in March or April. We had a gas floor furnace that heated the house. On the coldest days all of us could be found in the living room where the floor furnace was located.
By the time I was a teenager we had moved into a house with window units for AC and central heating.
Anything is doable if you are prepared. I suspect a lot of people today have become acclimated to an unnaturally limited temperature range and therefore they can't handle being outside all day in the direct sun without needing a way to cool down. Same thing in winter. People have acclimated to a range of 65-80 and anything outside that range requires different clothing, moving chilled or heated air, etc.
> The AC removes the humidity though so it is a non-issue indoors.
The AC removes the humidity when the AC runs.
But if you set your thermostat to 75F (24C), and your in-door air temperature is ≤75F with a humidity of 80%, the AC will do nothing for you because the temperature is "correct".
One needs a separate, stand alone dehumidifier with a hygrometer to deal with humidify independently of temperature.
Do a search for "whole house dehumidifier" for available products.
In theory, yes, but in practice basically nobody in Texas has dehumidifiers. AC does the job well enough.
The situation you're describing can come up occasionally on mild days, but (unfortunately) Texas doesn't have many of those. It tends to go almost straight from winter to summer and vice versa.
On the rare occasion when I feel that it's too humid inside (a rainy day in spring or fall), I just turn on the AC for half an hour. It wouldn't be worth it to have a separate system for that.
Is there a good reason why it takes that committee over a week just to meet? Why can't they just schedule a zoom conference and then issue an executive order the same day? It's not like starving babies are a time critical issue like missiles for Ukraine or something.
Maybe the US is just good at maintaining a facade that they aren't authoritarian. The US border agents are acting in an objectively authoritarian manner while the Chinese border agents are not and yet somehow you conclude that the Chinese are the real authoritarians. It seems like you are a victim of propaganda.
I don't think the point is "China is not an authoritarian regime", but rather that America is more authoritarian than most Americans think, or are willing to admit.
And my comment: Piracy and kidnapping of property existed long before cryptocurrency -- just google Somalian pirates. I don't have to reason about person kidnapping I assume.
Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware#Encrypting_ransomwa... please read the history of ransomware. I guess all the criminals of the past since 1989 need to use time machines because they could not possibly do ransomware pre-cryptocurrency... /s
P.S. Downvoting because you disagree with a comment that addresses another comment is not really polite.
Just like trying to report a security vulnerability to a company in good faith, you are often better off just publishing it anonymously even if it is worse for the company.
AT&T made it apparent that acquiring/retaining customers by being a decent service wasn't a priority. Instead they acquired companies to bundle like Directv and got on the government Firstnet corporate welfare scheme.
