Me living in a state that doesn't have rolling blackouts...
For now.
The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don't live in Texas, you shouldn't have issues with electricity.
It's not that simple, there are local grids that can only take so much. California had rolling blackouts as recent as 2020 https://abcn.ws/3er0Y8i
And completely unrelated, but due to the wildfires and the lawsuits against the power companies, they have also started cutting power when the lines are in areas of high wind. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/psps/
Me living where it’s 60-75 all year.
What country is that?
With that kind of consistency without being consistently super hot, I'd say it's somewhere close to the equator but high elevation.
I'd mention a couple examples I know of, but I wouldn't want to risk semi-doxxing them by narrowing it down further 😄
They use farenheit so I imagine that narrows it down quite a bit
True, unless they converted from Celsius for the convenience of Americans and inhabitants of certain Caribbean islands 🤷
Non-americans don't care about the convenience for americans
Not true lol, I often convert stuff for that exact reason
I guess you are not french
True lol, I'm a Dane 🇩🇰😁
And Myanmar
California central coast. Daytime highs. Fahrenheit.
California central coast
Portugal central coast is similar.
Illinois central coast.
Humid god-forsaken hellscape July-Aug.
Damn, I didn't realize it has gotten that bad in Portugal, that's awful.
Bad? What do you mean?
I see now I misunderstood. I though they meant over 60 blackouts all year.
lol room temp = awful
Ok 🤷
