Me living in a state that doesn't have rolling blackouts...

The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don't live in Texas, you shouldn't have issues with electricity.

It's not that simple, there are local grids that can only take so much. California had rolling blackouts as recent as 2020 https://abcn.ws/3er0Y8i

And completely unrelated, but due to the wildfires and the lawsuits against the power companies, they have also started cutting power when the lines are in areas of high wind. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/psps/

With that kind of consistency without being consistently super hot, I'd say it's somewhere close to the equator but high elevation.

I'd mention a couple examples I know of, but I wouldn't want to risk semi-doxxing them by narrowing it down further 😄

They use farenheit so I imagine that narrows it down quite a bit

True, unless they converted from Celsius for the convenience of Americans and inhabitants of certain Caribbean islands 🤷

Non-americans don't care about the convenience for americans

Not true lol, I often convert stuff for that exact reason

California central coast. Daytime highs. Fahrenheit.

California central coast

Portugal central coast is similar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Illinois central coast.

Humid god-forsaken hellscape July-Aug.

Damn, I didn't realize it has gotten that bad in Portugal, that's awful.

I see now I misunderstood. I though they meant over 60 blackouts all year.
