    my gf sometimes complains about the heat in Quebec City...if you are going to leave a woman for complaining about being hot or being cold, you might as well buy yourself a sex doll and be done with the whole project.

    This has been the mildest summer I can remember and I attribute that to the COVID shutdown. First time I can remember there being an actual spring in Alabama, it was delightful. Probably what the weather was like 100 years ago.

    My trick for making this work is to let my wife choose where everything goes and then learning where that is and deciding that’s how I like it.

    Now things are always where I like them to be.

    I don't think we've broken triple digits in 2020 which is a win. August has been consistently cooler than the historical averages. Mid- 80's in late August in pretty rare for Birmingham. It's also been one of the wettest years we've had in a long time so that helps.

    My wife has asked me to take her car into the shop 3 times for them to look at the air because it doesn't blow as hard as soon as you turn on the car like mine does. Even though its hot air. Its like a melt down everytime we go somewhere. She's 33. figured she'd be used to it by now.

    Must be a chromosomal trait that women can't comprehend how auto climate control works. Mine sometimes will max out either the heat or AC prior to turning the car on. And then, like many, apparently, complain that it isn't working adequately.

    Cold, hard facts about A/C and how to make it work for you

    It’s summer and it's hot, which means your car's air-conditioning system is going to get a workout. But there's an art to cooling your car correctly. The engineers at the CR Auto Testing Center have some handy tips to help you cool your car faster while burning less fuel.

    1. Don’t Pre-Cool
    Your car air conditioning works much better when you're actually driving, because the faster the engine turns, the faster the A/C compressor runs, which lets the system cool more effectively. Don't waste time and gas by letting your car run before you go.

    If the interior is really hot, crank up the fan when you start driving, and open just the rear windows for 10 to 20 seconds. This forces all the hot air out of the cabin. Don’t open the front windows—that only moves the heat out of the front of the car, and it will leave the air in the back of the cabin hot and stagnant.

    2. Go Low
    Setting to the lowest temp and adjusting the fan makes the car air conditioning more efficient, will dry out the air less, and can actually save some fuel. Why's that? In a typical A/C system, the air is cooled to 38 degrees. If you set the temp higher, you are actually forcing the system to re-heat your air, which takes more effort, burning more fuel.

    3. Don't Recirculate
    If you have passengers in the back seat, turn off the recirculation mode. This takes air from the front of the cabin and pulls it back through the system, so even though everyone up front stays cool, the air in the back can get stale and hot.

    4. Turn Off Stop/Start
    If you’ve got a newer car that has an auto start/stop system, turn it off. This feature saves fuel, but it can also keep the car air conditioning compressor from running when it shuts the engine off. In very hot weather, you can begin to notice the lack of cool air very quickly, especially if you're stuck at a lengthy stoplight, or in stop-and-go traffic that's barely moving.

    5. Make Sure Your Filter's Clean
    Next time you get the chance, check your cabin air filter to make sure it’s clean. A dirty filter prevents optimal airflow. In newer cars, these filters are relatively easy to check on; if you see a lot of dirt accumulated on it, it's time to change it. You can save money if you can replace the filter yourself—in many modern cars the filter is accessible behind the glove compartment. But that's not always the case. In some vehicles, such as the first-generation Honda Pilot, the entire dash must be removed in order to get at the cabin air filter, and that's not a job for the faint of heart.

    Bonus: Automatic Climate Control
    If you have automatic climate control, lowering the temp doesn't make the car cool off faster. Most systems will do all the fan and temp adjustments automatically, so you can just set it and forget it.

    I would kill for a wife that cranked the A/C. We live in South Florida and if the weather dips below 88 degrees, my wife immediately sets her side of the car A/C at 80. Then she refuses to accept that if her side is at 80 and mine is at 68 that her climate setting fucks up the overall temperature on my side, while at the same time impulsively turning my side up because she feels too cold.

    We have remote start on both of our cars although in MN it is typically a feature used in Jan & Feb.

    My wife also thinks climate control, where you just set a thermostat to the desired temperature, is too hard. And at least twice this summer I’ve gotten in the car and realized she he was using the heated car seat in July. Apparently the AC is too cold.

    Our house doesn’t have AC so we have a few standing AC units to keep the house cool. Without fail my wife will trip a breaker when vacuuming because she doesn’t turn the AC off first.

    This isn't necessarily stupid - but the Mrs. gets flowers every week at the flower market.

    The flower location however, blocks the score viewing ability if I'm sitting in my usual couch spot.

    Can see the game completely, but no idea what the score is.

    Grinds my gears.
