Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (9/10/24) Commie vs. Capitalist Post Debate ont

happy-hour-20200821-1011.jpg

A funny thing. When politicians lie right to you face (Rep. Eric Swallow) nothing ever happens.
A big business tells a lie and they have to pay big bucks. Which of course will not be paid by the company fined buy by the consumers of said product.

KEURIG has been fined $1.5 million to settle charges that it misled shoppers and the government about its famous K-Cups.

The Security and Exchange Commission leveled the civil penalty against the coffee giant after finding that it falsely claimed its K-Cups were recyclable.

27 I didn't watch the debate. My televsion would have been hit with the remote a bit too hard if I had watched it.

I don't think that the debate will have much effect on the race since too many things are in such a perilous state due to the manner in which the Biden/Harris administration and their allies in the Uniparty have screwed things up but I could be wrong.

I'll wait until next Monday before making my mind up on this since I want to here what Baris and Barnes have to say on this matter and to see what the rest of our regular crew (JackStraw and DaveInFlorida, in particular, but what the rest of you have to say has a great deal of weight with me as well) have to say as well.

42 No surprises. Neither side lost or gained voters. ABC did everything they could to make sure Harris didn't go up in flames, and from all the chatter it appears they were successful. Harris still hasn't fixed her policy problems or her connection to the Biden Administration.

MSM will try to discourage Trump voters because that is about all they can do at this point. It won't matter. Securing the vote is still the issue.

Voters who can spot all of the debate lies have made up their minds who they will vote for long ago. So the hoaxes and lies don't matter at all.

Harris is overperforming. Trump is missing lots of kill shot opportunities but is generally strong tonight.

65 If any of y'all know any vets, or are vets yourselves, that depend on disability comp from the VA to pay your bills,
might want to prepare just in case your direct deposit doesn't hit the bank in October:

Vets’ benefits checks could be delayed without a VA funding fix soon

"Department of Veterans Affairs officials have warned that if their own fiscal shortfall isn’t addressed by Sept. 20, tens of millions of dollars in veterans benefits could be disrupted starting in October, a potential disaster for families dependent on that support."

That was probably just response bias. The same thing happened in 2012 with Romney. Biden was behind in the polls before the debate, which is why they agreed to hold it early, apparently.

It's tribal for them at this point, an army. Their heroic blue 'D' team must win at all costs (hence the ballot fraud). It's a war and their enemy is always Hitler, a Nazi, someone who will put y'all back in chains. Anything else happens and the drama riots start about them losing something somewhere to the fascists.

The Dems have pushed the Overton Window far far to the left with their presidential ticket of Heels Up and Tampon Tim. It's not good.

My wife watched it. Her read was that Kammy had all the questions in advance and had rehearsed answers. ABC debated Trump as well so 3 on 1. The damning thing she saw was that Trump let her under his skin and reacted.

Posted by: Muad'dib at September 10, 2024 10:51 PM (ER9HB)

98 There was speculation on the debate thread that Kamala was wearing an earpiece and was being fed answers and responses.

If you could "hack into" that earpiece and play any audio you wanted into her ear at high volume, what would you play?

107 my positive takeaway is Trump didn't totally implode, but Kamala was allowed to lie and that's expected but sucks.

Trump didn't end with a closing speech about anything, positive, but maybe he figures this is still September, so he'll use his "things are bad and she isn't fixing them now" final statement as the theme of the final weeks of the campaign.

I agree with this assessment. Kamala didn't collapse; if you're a Democrat you'll go to bed thinking that the downballot candidates are not going to get wiped out, like they would have with Biden. They will stay and fight for her. Re: Trump - no Trump voter will be so disheartened that they will stay home in Nov. They'll see (as I did) that at times Trump was fighting 3 against 1. The 'moderators' were shameful, and I think that regular LIVs may see that as well. CNN ran that risk and largely avoided it; ABC went all-in for Kamala and it will cost them.

Kamala didn't stop the downward trend she was already on. She may have slowed it a little bit, however.

Exactly, Ace. If debates don’t matter, then why do the MSM bother rigging them like this?

This is the fourth election in a row the “Trump Can Do No Wrong” contingent is going to blow, and their only response is name-calling.

If Trump does manage to pull out a win: great! I’ll take it. But I’m sick of being told to pretend everything is going according to plan. This is a mess.

It should not be this close. Kamala is a revolting Communist, race-baiting shrew. And it’s still neck-and-neck.

THIS. CNN was put on notice at the Biden debate; they knew all eyes were on them and they couldn't blow it. They also knew going in there was going to be another debate. ABC went in knowing that Kamala wouldn't be debating again, so they could let it all hang out and stall for the next 50+ days. No cost to them to openly put their thumb on the scale. Trump's surrogates like RFKJ will drive that point home. Not a knockout blow for Trump, but he's not losing any support. It's OK.

This is bullshit on so many levels. #1: who the fuck gives a rat's ass if K-cups are recyclable or not? If you desire the convenience of a one-cup brew, you will buy the K-cups. If you are like me, and want to brew a pot at a time, you don't. I find the K-cups fiddly and stupid.

#2: they definitely are recyclable. You just have to work at it. Tear the foil lid off, place with aluminum to recycle. Dump the grounds out on the compost heap. Recycled! Rinse the plastic cup out, place with plastics to be recycled. Bingo! Fully recycled! So it can be done. But not worthwhile to do it.

#3: A lot of the stuff you think is being recycled winds up going to the landfill, anyway. It's all a scam.

Hi, Doc

I noticed the RCP betting odds have moved about 3 pts toward Harris tonight. Trump still leads by 1.5 points, down from 4+.

Brit Hume at FOX News thought Harris did surprisingly well, fwiw.

Expectations for Harris were low, and she held her own, apparently.

278 Let me be clear. I think that JD Vance would have sliced diced even made Julienne fries of Kamala in that debate. And it still would not have been a knockout.

Trump was Trump. Anyone hoping he wouldn't be Trump was living on hopium. Is Trump somewhat messy in his delivery? Yes. But he's directionally correct. And he drew some things out of Harris that might not be as big a help as she thinks. Her position on Israel, her break from Biden, her support for the most lethal military force in the world back the Blue don't play well with her various factions

I think that those admissions against interest were in fact intentional draws from Trump. It's not 12D chess but it is also not just random.

Posted by: blaster at September 10, 2024 11:13 PM (QfvaV)

279 224 Kamala didn't need to get the questions in advance. They were all extremely predictable questions. Did anyone find any of them surprising? Come on. Enough with the conspiracy theories that make you sound desperate. She didn't get the questions in advance and she didn't have an earpiece. She memorized responses to the most obvious 20 questions and regurgitated them.
Posted by: Mad Max in VA at September 10, 2024 11:08 PM (IORSH)

I don't see that she needed an earpiece to get - or guess - the questions in advance. ABC was going to tee her up for the questions that she would be most comfortable with. If you watched any of her stump speeches you'd know where her stronger responses would be. Not rocket science. They would also know where they wanted to amplify Trump's 'weaknesses'. He wasn't about to listen to anyone else try to answer questions he's already comfortable answering in his own way.

The goal for the debate on Kamala's end was to show that she wasn't a ditz. She'll take lying over being perceived of as a ditz. Mission accomplished.

However, to normal people, the kind that can and have been turned off by some of Trump's cringey comments/tweets in the past, she wasn't not that endearing. I watched the debate with family who have never enjoyed Trump, but who understand that he must win, and they were disgusted with her.

Not saying Trump won, just that we're so attuned to analyzing Trump's behavior that it's easy to give hers a pass. As said earlier, she was really b#tchy - exaggerated gestures of disdain, the fakey smile lecturing that is so common on tiktok - and I wonder how that played with normies who just want things to go back to normal?

It is much, much easier to rehearse answers written by an intelligent person and get coaching from hollywood actors on how to deliver them. Even the things she responded to from Trump were predictable. Remember, he is out speaking every single day, and his lines don't change. They were prepared for his responses and attacks just like they were prepared for the questions. Both were obvious and predictable.

yeah.
I keep saying our side thinks way to highly of FACTS and LOGIC that DESTROY the left.
They don't. Never will.

What will come from this debate? Watch the closing statements.
Harris: Platitudes, warm, fuzzy, tomorrow-land.
Trump: I had thing going good, she made them suck, she could do her stuff now, she won't 'cause she's lying.

Harris might have gotten a mild bump but Trump didn't lose any support. And now Trump's team has her statements basically refuting everything she said for her entire career on tape. The ads will follow. And the economy, the border and inflation aren't going to improve between now and November. Game on.

If Cooks had made the shot right, then it would have most likely have been Nikki Haley as candidate, and then it wouldn't have mattered if it was Joe or Kamala, there was a controlled neocon as President either way, and the graft from the wars would keep rollin' and the vote could be merely dirty as usual, not nasty like it is now.

Trump and Harris have records, Trump's is much better. In time (before Nov?) the truth will be exposed. Did Trump do well enough inthe debate, exposing her lies? idk, but there is more time, and The People hate the real liars, more than those the left constantly claim are "You Liars".

Nope, nope and nope.

First, if Trump didn't agree to the first debate, Biden would still be in the race - and hidden by the media just like in 2020. The bottom didn't fall out in his campaign until he and the media were caught out by having the world see him as he is, not as they wanted us to see him as.

Second, you do debates. You campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire and do all the stupid things our candidates do get elected POTUS because that's the best way to pick someone. COVID was a once in a century event, which is how Biden got away with it in 2020.

If you're trusting conservative media to get you over the finish line - it ain't happening. The effective outlets are too small, and the other half are on the other side - not ours. Not an option yet.

397 Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala is literally going to knock the debate from most headlines. They should have waited.

Posted by: Drew in MO at September 10, 2024 11:25 PM (uCWuL)

Maybe they wanted to knock the debate from the headlines. Maybe they want to try to fake engineer a preference cascade.

Makes you wonder why they bother when Trump lost so badly. They could have waited on Taylor but they didn't. And Harris is saying she wants another debate, and Trump will agree to one.

Two things that her base did not want to hear, but the president forced kalama to say:

1) "I support Israel."
2) "I'm not taking anyone's guns away."
3) "I will not ban fracking."
=========
Yes, he got her to say those things. Yes, i think she wasn't being truthful, but was compelled to say those things because speaking truthfully would have cost her bad. She'll still get some criticism because gun-grabbers, terrorist huggers, and greens will have to have a couple of days of spazzing out over it.

You’ve got me there: the Republican bench sucks and has for my whole adult life. And Trump is certainly a far better man than GWB, Cheney, McCain and Romney.

Sometimes being the better man is not enough. This country is terminally stupid. Almost half of voters are going to cast their ballots for Kamala. That’s sickening. The GOP is probably going to lose the House. Abortion is being codified all across the nation, even in “red” states..

Maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on Trump, but there’s no substitute for winning, and there’s no excuse for losing.

Nobody who gives a f**k about the devastation of the last 3.5 years is going to be persuaded to vote for Kampala, even if she pantsed Trump.

None of this matters, the only thing that matters is can Trump get enough real live voters to counter the Donks ballot harvesting apparatus and prevent them from stealing another election.

He better be up to that task, and he needs us all to do our bit, because if he fails and we fail him, he is f**ked, proper f**ked and we and the nation will be proper f**ked like two lurches being chased down by wild dogs.

That's not the problem though. This election won't be won or lost based on wonkish policy mastery or even slick political rhetoric. The ability to just drive home big themes (broken border, bad jobs news and government dishonesty about it, runaway inflation, that kind of thing), even if done crudely, is what is needed. If the election is winnable, that's how it can be done. I don't hear anyone claiming Trump managed to do that tonight. If not, that's a shame.

I've always done ebb-and-flow systems before, so it'll be new to me.

I've drawn up a design that's basically 5'x3' plus room for bends and such, with (4) 50W full-spectrum lights.

My plan is to figure it out on leafy greens like spinach, bok choi, green onions, etc. for the first run or two, and once the kinks are worked out, adapt it for hydroponic orchids. I'll probably flip over to a 400W MH/HPS switchable ballast at that point.

Both men have had The Deep State go after them, with Lavrentiy Beria style bogus prosecutions. Both men have been victims of Leftist Lawfare.

Ever wonder why RFK did not mount a Democrat Party primary challenge to Biden this year? The Demunist Politburo pulled out all the stops to thwart RFK.

Coulter had suggestions for things for Trump to memorize for the debate ... not sure he stayed on point. His closing minute was good. "You've had 3.5 years ... but only next year will you make the emergency changes?"

But yeah, Trump is always "in the game", even if for fun. Happy warrior? He does go "off script" on ego at times, for sure. But it often serves him ... OK.

I'm thinking of building a series of (4 ) 13qt nutrient-film hydroponic tanks (for a total of 13gal) as an experiment. 27gal tank.

I've always done ebb-and-flow systems before, so it'll be new to me.

I've drawn up a design that's basically 5'x3' plus room for bends and such, with (4) 50W full-spectrum lights.

My plan is to figure it out on leafy greens like spinach, bok choi, green onions, etc. for the first run or two, and once the kinks are worked out, adapt it for hydroponic orchids. I'll probably flip over to a 400W MH/HPS switchable ballast at that point.

Disagree. “Because you’d be in jail” was a killer line. People hated her and wanted to see her punished.

She’s still free and Trump is the one facing prison time. There’s a lesson there, kids: when you actually succeed at striking the king, you best finish him off. Don’t let your magnanimity take over..

100% agree. Tonight was par for the course for Trump's debates. The last one was unusual in that the mods were fair and didn't join in on the debate. Just one data point, but Ethan Van Sciver, a Trump fan but who isn't a policical junkie, says Trump did great. All that mattered from tonight's debate is if the candidates respective supporters thought thier guy or gal did well. (There are absolutely zero persuadable voters left.). Harris helped herself by getting through it with a mid performance, but there was no way Trump could effect how she did. It was all up to her to fail or pass.

He's also the only person with the stones to stand up to the insane sexually perverted death cult that's running the country right now. It doesn't fucking matter. This debate and all the ink being spilled (mine included) doesn't matter at all. It's whether someone can throw a wrench into the works.

The MH/HPS idea is for the flowers. MH for vegetative growth, then switch out to HPS for flowering. Also switching out fertilizers concurrently.

Listen I’ve been to Haiti on mission trips

I’ve been to some of the hardest villages and communities in the nation where thousands of people share a tiny well of water for a month

I’ll never forget my first night when the clock struck midnight out of nowhere you hear an uprising of thousands of people, the entire city all around you chanting and screaming led by about 4-5 witch doctors throughout the city

From about 12pm - 4am they sacrifice animals and they also eat them to survive

I could hear cats, dogs, pigs, you name it all screaming and being slaughtered throughout the night

So to hear reports of Haitians doing this kind of stuff in Ohio is absolutely no surprise to me...

648 from Coulter on Muir:

"In March 2015, ABC news anchor David Muir
-- moderator of tonight's presidential debate -- began the broadcast with a recap of the 2014 police shooting in Ferguson, MO the previous year:

"Ferguson, Missouri: An unarmed black man, Michael Brown, is shot to death. The officer is not indicted."

And that was it: "The officer is not indicted."

Muir failed to acknowledge that the whole "hands up, don’t shoot" scenario turned out to be a lie invented by Brown's co-conspirator: ex-con, Dorian Johnson.

Muir made no mention of the fact that the officer, Darren Wilson, wasn't indicted because he was fully exonerated in two separate investigations.

And Muir certainly neglected to report that Obama's own DOJ had cleared Wilson of any wrongdoing, after a months-long, zealot-driven investigation by Attorney General Eric Holder."

658 I don't know why Trump has trouble with the abortion thing. Real simple: I don't know the answer, but I know the answer isn't having Planned Parenthood aborting as many black babies possible in keeping with their founding principles. Imagine any other institution having that disparate impact and not being sued into oblivion.

The problem with the status quo was that abortion was being used as population control by Democrats. I may not know the answer, but that cannot be tolerated, so the issue is returned to the States to fashion a way forward that isn't rooted in eliminating people the Democrat Party finds undesirable.

Trump made it clear that he doesn't want a total ban, and that their motte of "rape, incest, and life of the mother" is shared by the R party.

And he asked Harris to disavow the "bailey" of 9th-month abortion, and she would not.

Posted by: Lurker at September 10, 2024 11:56 PM (FC8SQ)

I know this will get me bombed, but Reagan was the governor to allow no-fault divorce and his amnesty really got the ball rolling on illegal immigration growth. Also, his wife, who he adored, was an occultist and both his children by Nancy are/were trainwrecks who hate their Father. Finally, the Iran/Contra scandal was no joke; why did Republicans defend Reagan on this?

688 If you want to know how to do ebb-and-flow systems for marijuana, it's super easy.

Lengthy sheet metal troughs about 8" wide. Rockwool cubes to plant the clones in. Let 'em float in there. Set the nutrient tanks on timers, and the lights (400-1000w switchable, depending on space/power). Change the tanks every two weeks. If you're in the Rockies, introduce ladybugs for the spider mites if you don't want chem pesticides, which you don't. I recommend Dutch Masters fertilizers.

That's about it.

Uh back then we had a looming Evil Empire. Perspective. The illegal alien problem was much smaller then, not just relatively, but also absolutely. As for Iran/Contra, back then there was a large faction of the Democrat Party literally kneeling down and bending over to fellate the Sandinistas. Advantage: Uncle Ron, again.

When did the GOP go off the rails on immigration? Back in 1994, when of an otherwise rather RINO like Governor, Pete Wilson, sounded the alarm. But the Corporate Greedhead Wall Street Journal types just had to have their cheaper gardeners and maids, and they joined in with the Commiecrats in the race baiting of Governor Wilson.

I think Abortion is one of the few real issues the Dems have to drive turnout, particularly where there are Abortion related ballot issues, like Arizona and Penn, if memory serves.

I still think the whole thing will hinge on the Black vote. If Trump hits 30% with black men, or 25% and 15% of black women, I don't think the Dems can overcome it. Black men are 15% of the Dem votes, so 20% of that is about 3% of the total votes for Dems. They'd never make that up that difference even with an AWFLanche.

You won't get bombed by me. Reagan did at least two very, very big things that secured his legacy as a conservative icon: he stood by and protected Volcker while he created a recession to defeat inflation, and spent the Soviets into bankruptcy. The other side of the ledger has some of his decisions and in/actions having us dealing with them four decades later: not bombing Iran; not avenging the Marines at Beirut; Sandra Day O'Connor - who didn't end Aff. Act. when she had the chance; the amnesty; picking GHWB when he should have picked Laxalt, which gave the GOPe a new lease on life; you get the picture.

Still a great POTUS, but not like before.

We really need to change this so that the individuals responsible pay out of their own pockets, otherwise there is no disincentive in getting sued. You sue the city and the city pays, but you also sue the DA, judge, cops, etc. (anyone who did wrong willfully) as individuals and they pay.

But now- I’m not sure I can do that anymore without thinking about her using her fame to influence this presidential election- so sad this had to happen tonight….

No to both, obviously. The only surprise was the timing of Swift's endorsement.

IIRC, Oprah's viewership did take a hit. Seems all those dumb women who watched her show religiously didn't like her making an overt political stand.

Swift has been political before, so maybe it won't make a difference. However, given the costs now for seeing here, she's just given a lot of parents a reason not to spend the money/time it takes to get to one of her concerts. Or maybe they'll continue to do it to make lil' McKenzie and Sophie happy. . . ? Glad I had a son and didn't have to deal with that crap.

They noted all PDT did for Veterans, the historic $ for HBUCs, and more. Plain, simple explanations.

Saw Craftsmen stuff for sale a few years ago in local hardware store. Made in China. I’ll buy Made in China.. hell, Harbor Freight isn’t that bad.. but I expect Made-in-China prices, not Craftsmen prices. Another great brand ruined by clueless American consumers and Wall Street.

I bought a few model airplanes back in the late 60's. No idea what they cost. I doubt they were even $4.99. My mom saved a lot of old stuff, but none of my models, few of my comic books or baseball cards, "dammit Mom".

Pookette is still figuring out her place as a big sister. She's terrified of hurting him and refuses to hold him, and is shocked at how loud he can get. We're trying to take it slow with her, because she can get pretty entrenched in her thinking if she thinks she's getting pushed in any direction.

The Texaco fleet of Oil Tankers in the 1950s/60s, were actually beautiful ships, the Ocean Liners of the commercial commerce fleets.

In this case, I'm not so sure. What are the risks of Ozempic versus certain levels of obesity?

Personally, I successfully lost my excess "husky" weight in my last year of high school through a month of will power and healthy lowcal dieting and sports (I was sports active anyway). But that was 50 years ago when obesity was nowhere near off the charts in the US as it is today.

I'm no pharma fan but I'm not fan of the food industries poisons either.

BTW, I gained a lot more weight over my married years. As of June 2023, been dieting and exercising and lost over 20 lbs. so far. I'd like to lose at least another 20 but I'm stuck on a plateau, which isn't helped by my occasional succumbing to my sweet tooth.

But neither I nor Mrs. BD are on any meds. We pop about 18 nutritional supplement daily. I try to make it my business to do 45-60 minutes of exercise 4-6 days a week. I feel good and my checkups confirm the benefits.

I can’t believe Trump doesn’t understand the concept of word economy. He has a very limited time to make a point and make an impact. Debate prep should be all about fine-tuning and optimizing the message for maximum effectiveness on a range of topics. He just doesn’t do it. He can’t go 60 or 120 seconds of strong, focused answers without some nonsense interjected that lessens the blow. Makes me sad.

887 What did Kamala say that moved the needle at all?

Did she in any way reassure undecided voters that she'll be a reliable new leader and not just more Biden era policies?

The most memorable moments of the debate came from Trump, for good and for I'll.

The first impression of Kamala was that she was small, with a trembling voice and overly rehearsed speeches instead of answers.

People on the left are celebrating tonight because Kamala is three degrees above "barely living corpse," making her better than Biden. She didn't embarrass herself with a gaffe so they call it a total win. Low bar.

People on the right are wringing their hands tonight because they spent weeks telling themselves that Kamala would just implode on stage, ignoring the fact that her biggest mistakes come when she's forced off script. Tonight was always going to be a carefully controlled environment with ABC making sure the training wheels and pillows were on and around her.

Meanwhile people in the middle are still struggling to buy gasoline, bread, and a roof over their heads. Nothing Kamala said told them to vote for four more years. Nothing Trump said told them he wouldn't be better than the past four years.

He was 'outraged' because they used his FF song 'Hero' at the GOP Convention. It quickly vanished from the newz cycle because nobody cares. Not sure Dave cares.

925 Can't sleep, Kamala's Haitians will eat me.

Anyway, I was dreading an inevitable Taylor swift Kamala endorsement, but nowjust find it hilarious. She should've gone on stage the last night of the DNC, it would have given the convention a lift. Instead her timing couldn't be worse.

1) Her holding one of her cats is supposed to be a cute Swiftian swipe at the childless cat lady comment. But after at least 24 hours of relentless Trump cat memes, it totally loses its teeth.

2) she was seen supporting Mahones' wife at the US Open, who has unapologetically liked Trump posts on social media. Her fans are furious at her for not cancelling Mahones and throwing her on the social media pyre to burn. She thought it would be a cutesy way to support a friend, instead it's blowing back on her. So this quick endorsement is as much to rehabilitate her with her cat lady lib fans as it is to rehabilitate Kamala.

3) It's coming out immediately after a lackluster debate for Kamala. It stinks of trying to rehab her... send in the swift!!!

If she actually goes to her rallies and sings for her, then I'll feel this endorsement might be genuine. Otherwise it's just lip service.

927 >> Space Stuff: The potentially deadly risks of Billionaire-funded civilian spacewalk

I wonder if the authors of that have any knowledge of the history of this. The Gemini and Apollo crews did the full cabin depressurization for EVAs many times.

There was the "trans-earth EVAs" the last three Apollo missions had to do. They had a bunch of cameras and other stuff in a bay on the service module. It took pictures and other measurements during the 3 day lunar orbit, and one of the astronauts, the CM pilot, had to go out and manually retrieve them and bring them back inside the CM.

And the Polaris crew went through a fill vacuum-chamber test of all the procedures on the ground to test it and refine it.

One of the interesting things is the Dragon uses a full 1 atm, normal air mixture during flight.

Apollo and the previous used pure oxygen at around 5 psi. Keeping it "over pressurized" at sea level with pure oxygen finally bit them in the butt with the Apollo 1 fire. It worked without a hitch for Mercury and Gemini.

Although, I remember reading that if the Gemini astronauts ever had to use the launch escape ejection seats (which were nuts), the rocket motors would've probably ignited the space suits, saturated with O2. The astronauts would've been human torches.

939 Hi JQ. Sort of followed your A/C saga. I lived for many years at the Equator - very hot and humid at the Coast, fantastic climate above 2500-3000 feet. Then many years in the Tropics - similar weather, with coastal areas similar to Miami - skin never dry and getting out of a shower was meh! Definitely needed A/C where possible.

Every summer is a struggle, but it's mostly due to my wimpy intolerance to the heat. Gets worse as I age.

It's not humid here (thankfully!) in the middle of Idaho, just hot and very dry in summer. Like a convection oven. Add wildfire smoke, and it's hell outdoors. Ugh.
