texas power grid is managed by ERCOT. These are their suggested thermostat settings to “preserve the grid” so we dont lose power in the summer like we did during SNOVID. They can go ufck themselves with these. Telling us to cut power, all the while pandering to big business, windmills and solar while still pushing electric cars. Its clear wind and solar are needed. But they arent doing it for Texas.
we need a couple big old school power plants. This is some shiat.

The memes are gold tho
82 when sleeping?!?!?!? ufck that! Try 62!

Hey baby, be cool, be cool. I was just generically bitching about the Texas power grid, I know the rules.

Besides, I didnt have AC for four and a half ufcking days. I done consvervatismed already.

This is exactly right. I'd much rather be cold than hot.
Completely disagree. I would rather have dry heat.
I lived in the San Joaquin Valley for 3 years. 110 during the day and I loved it. Sunshine 9 months of the year. If it weren't for Cali politics I would move back in a hurry

There might be some political influences behind the scenes of Ercot and Oncor that lead to this, but the biggest issue was not properly maintaining the plants, nor realizing what to do during winter. Keep the fluid in the pipes moving and you'll be better off than shutting everything down and letting it stagnate. Snowvid is what's led to our power issues this summer.

It's not humid here. But when I'm sitting in my office trying to work and pouring sweat, it ain't fun.

Thats the best part of those mini splits though. I can turn a room off and shut the door until we use it. Then cool the room back down in less the 10 minutes when we need it
If I was doing it from the ground up, I would definitely have mini splits in each area. Definitely. I still might add one to the master just to better control that zone.

My plan is if my office heats up too much with my equipment, I'll put in a four zone mini split for the upstairs, and block off the ducts to the main AC unit. Let that one unit run the downstairs only, since we only have one unit for the house.

Was thinking about this also.

I lived in Tucson, AZ as my last duty station and I’ll take a dry 115° over a humid 85-90° every single day. Shade, a mister, and a gentle fan and it feels good in the desert. Here it’s just disgusting, and even if you go back inside you’re already covered in sweat and nastiness. I hate it. And I grew up here.
