not a fan of air conditioning. it's too easy to become complacent and the problem never goes away.

I mean it’s not a long term solution…

but how do you expect most people to get through heat waves

siestas and swimming. water is profoundly awesome at cooling, and the simple fix is building apertures into one's building so heat doesn't bleed between spaces as much.

but honestly, if one can't operate normally without AC, what's the perspective on wet bulb temp? maybe I'm biased, I've lived in the ME & SW.

seems a bit constrained, no? there's a heat wave, yet deliveries need to be made mid-day? why not shift the schedule to the early morning? and why would the job be viable if the air conditioning fails & open windows can't be a stopgap?

I get that some air conditioning has to exist as a fundamentally practical issue.

I agree we should be designing better for heat

But what if you’re a delivery worker in a heat wave? The car can’t be air conditioned?
