[quote]Was Biden in office when Nissan designed the 2017 Armada?[/quote] Yep. Y62 production started in 2010, Biden was then in the office of Vice President. It wasn't sold in North America until 2017, replacing the old Titan based 1st gen Armada. These are generally reliable and comfortable v...

There are some glaring inaccuracies in your post. The main battle of San Jacinto happened in the afternoon. Santa Anna's group of the Mexican Army had just been reinforced by General Cos and had a numerical advantage over the Texians (something like 1,800 if IIRC, not 10,000). They were wiped out ...

[quote]That’s 95 degrees. Come July 95 degrees feels good to me most days [/quote] That's not the same as a temperature of 95 degrees. I think y'all fundamentally don't understand what a wet bulb temp is. For you to have a 95 degree wet bulb temp at 95 degrees dry bulb, you would have to be ...
High Temps are "dry bulb" temps, not the wet bulb temperature we are talking about. You are essentially saying, "I'm right, and here's data measuring something else to prove it." Again, water has a very high heat coefficient - it is very capable of storing heat energy (hot humid air) and removin...
Are those regular dry bulb Temps? That doesn't really add to the conversation. The thing about wet bulb temp is that it measures the ability for water to drop temperature due to evaporative cooling. It is a defacto measure of the heat present in the air, as it takes a lot more actual heat (energy, n...
