I strongly disagree on one key point:

no one can really feel a 1F difference

Yes I can. Changing my thermostat by a single degree can be very impactful on my comfort. And on the "too warm side" each additional degree is noticeably less comfortable.

Days with highs of 68F, 69F, and 70F and comparable humidity all feel different to me. Sure, there are more factors at play but holding the rest equal, 1F differences are noticeable.

    I'm OOTL, can anyone explain what the "manipulative procedural maneuver" is? I'm seeing some stuff about a vacancy requiring an election (Kentucky disallowed governor appointments), is it fear the seat will go Democratic?

    I don't care about the socks. I was just pointing out that you based your disagreement at least in part on dressing up when OP said casual wear. And then for some reason I can't understand you doubled down on it and told me I was wrong about the words you wrote that are still right there. So I broke down my understanding of your very straightforward sentence.

    I just did. Mind clarifying?

    I would challenge your assumption

    Indicates you think OP is wrong

    White socks are not the norm in the US

    A characterization that does not match my experience as an American

    especially when you're wearing something with visible socks

    Not relevant to my comment, but still not true in my American experience

    or are dressing up

    Completely irrelevant to the OP talking about casual wear.
