    60% humidity is great. Too much lower and you would be drying out. Here we kill for 60% humidity.

      Possibly. We just use them on beds in the summer.

                I have one. I also have an aversion to using it.

                    same reason I leave my heat at ~60F in the winter.

                    I'm cheap, and I hate wasting energy.

                      Outside it's 33C (91F) at 10:30 in the morning. 5 hours left to the hottest part of the day.

                            A dehumidifier combined with a couple of good fans are probably your best bet.

                              I'm sitting here sweating bullets as I type. Environment Canada tells me its 26C, which comes to about 78F.
                              I'm supposed to take this seriously?
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                                Yes. Because 26C is ****ing hot. I'm not built for this ****. When I was growing up 85F was a big deal and everyone complained and moaned until it went away.

                                Anything higher than that is for the animals, its inhuman.

                                But please, if you want to talk about extreme temperatures, you guys would be pissing your pants in terror when it gets to -40C without the windchill up here in the winter.
