    As someone who wears sun hoodies to avoid negative effects, I respect the evils of the sun.

    That being said, people in the US need to learn acclimation. It does not need to be 15 degrees colder inside. In 2 weeks your body normalizes.

      As someone who does not live in a climate controlled home but occasionally stays with people who do, I wholly disagree. I love being able to breathe and think rather than having to be in a place that’s just 7-10°F colder because of a lot of effort airing at the right times.

        Yeah, idk what that guy is about, few months ago the outside temp was like 32°C and, because my apartment has crap insulation, the inside temp was either equal or higher. That was not fun and didn’t help with going outside at all.

          I have this too. Some genius did not invest in window blinds on the outside.

          By midday I can just open up everything and let the 32c air in because it already warmed up to that temperature.
