During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.

Exactly. I've run Linux almost exclusively for more than 20 years. I did the whole roll-my-own thing for a while. Now most of the computers I deal with regularly run mostly-stock Ubuntu.
Bug zapper flyswatter. Like you can buy at Harbor Freight for a few bucks. It might not be a terribly effective solution to the overall fly population, but in terms of grim-bloody-vengeance-per-dollar, it's one of the best investments I've ever made.
Specific subs that don't exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It'll just take time to build those communities here.
RadarScope. I work a very weather-dependent job.
Agreed. Charger in the garage, plug it in overnight, ready to go. It's been a bit frustrating on road trips when I can't find a working charger conveniently close to the route, but a bit of planning beforehand has made it work. 99% of the time it's great.
If I didn't have a garage or other dependable access to a L2 charger overnight, it would be far more challenging. I'm also 15 miles from the closest public charger, which would be a major hassle.
Dealing with winter. I live in the rural upper Midwest, where winter can hit -20 with whiteout blizzards, week-long power outages, and car-burying snowdrifts. I've seen too many people move here from warmer places and think "I guess I'll buy a warmer coat and a snow shovel", rather than "I should have a backup generator, a backup heat source, a few barrels of spare fuel, a month's worth of stockpiled food, and at least two different pieces of heavy snow-moving machinery tested to be in good working order".
