It seems like it used to be 35° but now it’s ~34°.

I don’t have access to the actually study but I would hypothesize that it’s likely because we are seeing more studies about things like this and as we collect more data that’s changing these values to be closer to what we see in the real world.

It’s also at 100% humidity in case that wasn’t clear.

Edit: ok so what he posted wasn’t wrong but the study said that it could be as low as that for some groups of people. For the average person it’s almost 10 degrees C higher which is lower than it used to be.

However for heat sensitive people (not sure what that means) it can be disturbingly low

100% but it might change enough

During COVID, I had multiple people shrug off how hard everything was with kids and disregard parents struggles. That's a cultural thing which is what studies like this are addressing and trying to help build momentum to change.

It's easier to build that momentum with data instead of just vibes because even though this is self-evident to both of us, we're not the hearts and minds that require changing.

It's similar to how young and single people will be expected to work longer hours because "they don't have to go home" as if that means that they don't need time off as well.

Totally. I was just being silly.

So true. We've been on a tax-cut & deregulate spiral for 40+ years and it feels like we're left with a government that can't accomplish anything anymore.

I'm hopeful with Harris but my god do we have to hold her feet to the fire.

His ass. This is a conspiracy theory that’s been going around for ages with dubious sources at best.

My only regret is that I have but 1 upvote to give you. This is a fantastic summary!

Right??? AP is left center?!? They report the literal facts so I guess facts are left center?

Wait that actually checks out…

Honestly, everyone else has it spot on with the retirement advice. Even people that are north of $10M net worth follow that same advice.

For personal day-to-day stuff I would recommend You Need A Budget.

This is a fantastic way to keep a budget.
