alt text for four panel image
First panel: a poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids asks a smart™ thermostat "hey little man hows it goin?" Second Panel: the smart thermostat points with a large arrow at a screenshot of a graphic that reads "August Trends: Heating & cooling compared with last year", and shows zero hours more heating, 129 hours more cooling, with a small caption underneath that reads "On average, temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than August 2022" Third Panel: the poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids is shown with an unreadable smile in front of a semi-transparent image of a NASA article that reads "NASA Clocks July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record Ever Since 1880" Fourth Panel: the poorly drawn figure says "yea"
I lived through August with constant 36+ without an AC. Next year I'm fixing the damn thing or I'll just die.
DO NOT INSTALL A SMART STAT OR ENROLL IN A "ENERGY SAVING PROGRAM" this just gives control of the thermostat to other people in the name of "energy savings".
Good grief that comment history. Either a massive troll or genuinely dysfunctional. Please don't take this person's advice for anything other than deranged rambling.
