Mods. Lock this turd lol

Oh my god!! We all get it!

Heated steering wheel is fine for about 15 minutes, then it’s overbearing.

Are you sure that there were low dews on August 2, 1975? I'm not sure how accurate this site is, but it shows 104F with a dew point of 77F at the 2PM observation at KPVD. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/KPVD/date/1975-8-2 I just think that its kind of ironic how even with all this global warming that is happening, we still haven't been able to beat 1975, despite many other areas of the country (and world) breaking their all time record highs.

Well said. That a major sticking point. Every wx event now is treated or pushed as if it is the "worst ever," "unprecedented," and "should not be happening," which is absolute nonsense. They completely ignore wx history and act like all that matters is what happens in the here and now. They prey on the cognitive shortcoming of "recency bias" to mold and brainwash the masses. Also, there is a lot of $$ and power to be gained when you have problems -- real, exaggerated, or imagined/concocted. Not to mention bad news sells -- the eternal constant.

My wife insists our next new car will have a heated steaming wheel… I don’t get that at all. I want the ventilated seats though. Blow across my ass!!!

I could've sworn that the forecast from GSP yesterday said that today would be dry. It rained most of the morning here, and currently I have a really strong thunderstorm with nickel to quarter sized hail. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Pretty dry here this year too, but im not familiar with back then.

Heated seats are a godsend!!!

"The US will endure one of its most expansive heatwaves in history this week." "One of the most...in history" Vague statement. Quantify it! Look for these weasel lines/statements/rhetoric. It reveals a lot. What does "one of the most" mean? Is it a top 5, 10, 20, 50 event? And the heat is just getting started. How can you know the true extent of it historically before it is has happened/finished? "In history" - which history (period)? Since the last ice age? Since the U.S. was founded? Since standardized temp records commenced (1870)? In the satellite era? I have often found "history" these days to much of MSM starts no more than a generation ago or the year 2000. I have no respect for people like this that push out relentless hype and alarmism and ignore context, perspective and balance. It is bad science. All they care about is their ego, monetization, and/or pushing a narrative.

Nope. But decently insulated. Even in the coldest parts of winter it is well above freezing. Heated seats ftw

Was wondering the same myself earlier today. I think there was a wicked drought ongoing that summer? Someone can correct me on that if needed.

I pre-buy my oil so it is the same all year (adjusts each June depending on their forecast for oil prices (this year is so awesome My electric is highest in the summer, it will exceed my oil bill probably for 2 months. But I also use electricity year round so in combination, my summer utility bills are the highest. It is driven by the oil for the most part though.

Heated?

Garage ftw

Holy hell! That was EXACTLY MY POINT! Electric rates vs fuel prices.

Haven't had a change in rates here

Same goes for if they give a bad rating.

Though, driving a farm tractor, you can smell the corn burning, lol! Summer grade is “supposed” to be cheaper because of gasoline being cut with ethanol.

August 1975 and April 1976 had the benefit of low dew points and solid W or NW subsidence. In the summer, it's very hard to have near record/record heat and low dew points just due to climo. Obviously, August 2, 1975 was exceptional. Nothing like that since. 100 even at ACK???? They struggle to even get to 80 in summer!

Januarid this winter?

Summer grade gasoline makes a big difference in my car.

Nope lol...

Contemplated J3ply

You completely missed the point, congrats!
