I know you're in triage mode helping the immediately-affected get safe, but given the climate change undercurrents of all this, a statement like
> I'm not even noticing it's as hot as it is since the airconditioning is doing an amazing job here.
...just leaves a frustrating and poor taste.
What's powering all that air conditioning? It's not free.
Get safe now, but don't lose sight that it's all inter-related.
- post_break 7y agoIf your alternative is to just stay hot, it doesn't really help. Those places will be in AC whether this person goes there or not.

- mettamage 7y agoFair point, but like a sibling comment already stated: I cannot convince my uni to stop using AC in the short-term. So then better use it. The climate change issue in the long-term is gripping me. What are we — as mostly programmers — doing about it. Why isn’t FAANG doing something? For pure problem solvers this seems like a juicy problem to sink your teeth into.
