    Genuinely probably easier to manage when its just always one temp extreme versus having to keep track of major weather changes and how that plus activity impacts and all.

    At least with warm you can just assume its too hot. And probably be right.

    I mean, in winter, overheating is easy if you don’t plan in layers and take them off according to the outside temp and how it makes you personally feel. And if you live in a place with winter you have to keep track of so many temps through the year and whether or not a body can manage them… more temperate means less caution for extremes.

    I wear shorts when its above 40, as long as that happens between December and July. When it happens in August to December, its so cold because my blood hasn’t thickened, so i don’t.

    Edit to add: i sent a message directly to make sure this was passed along but one of the youtube creators I watch does diy material science stuff, and one of his recipes is a PCM (phase change material) made from salts that stays cool, not cold, for dozens of hours. Very long time. Feels like the cool side of a pillow for half of forever.

    So here’s that video
