> Fair enough, what about in the winter in New York?

I dry my clothes on a line in the winter in New York. It's below zero outside, but like 80 degrees and 0% humidity inside my apartment. Clothes dry fast. (And the space was already being heated, because I live in it, and it's against the law for the landlord to allow the temperature to go below 55 degrees, and they are paranoid, so it's more like 80-90 all winter.)

Its 80 in your place? Holy shit, I would just be sweating all the time. And finding a new place to live

Sometimes I feel like I have a fever and am getting sick, then I realize it's probably just in the 90s and I should open a window. Not great. This is with all my radiators turned off!

The heat is on a timer so it's not like this all the time, but I have to wonder what a world where thermostats have been invented would be like.
