too cold >>> too hot
What are your parameters for "too"?
too cold >>> too hot
If you were to win the lottery, would you move? If so, where? I don't mean 25K scratch off. I'm talking >10 mil.
You're not wrong. I just think it's overwhelmingly likely that your life will be net-negative if you win $10m tomorrow and you don't make major life alterations immediately (that you may or may not enjoy).
More interested in all the positive tropes/futures that seem to shine so brightly that ppl don't consider how such a windfall might lead to some real bad futures for you. Obviously it helps that this group is overwhelmingly white college-ed upper middle class etc. The people who play the lottery everyday are often the people who aren't equipped to have it set up successful future for them. :/

If 70ish is ideal (room) temp, I'd much rather it be 40 and sunny than 100 and sunny. I'd also rather it be 30 and snowy than 110 and anything.

The first thing I would do after winning the lottery is commit every piece of advice in these comments to memory

no parameters necessary

i would rather feel too cold than too hot
But is it a dry heat? If so, give me 100. Anything above 92-95 is pretty rough, but I can take it. I have never not been in a situation below 60 and thought and extra 15 or 20 degrees wouldn't make it better.

Doesn't really matter. 40 in bright sun is quite comfortable (I've taken my shirt off and tanned at lunch on ski slopes it feels so warm w/ the altitude). 100 in the sun for more than 30 min is miserable.
Now anything less than about 50 and damp, rainy, misty is a different story. I'd rather it be 25 and snowing than 45 and raining any day.
Each department in our school has been assigned a "festive song" that we have to record an artistic interpretation on video for and submit to our assistant principal by next Friday and this is legit the lowest point of my professional career.
when I lived in West virginia, I lived across the street from the gas station that sold the first Powerball winning ticket north of 100 million or whatever. Like you, the last time this was posted in the chat thread, I commented that it totally ruined the guy's life. One of my high school classmates and a good friend of my brother died in the guy's house of an OD. What a 60 year old man was doing with a 20 year old kid having a drug-fueled binge one can only guess.
yeah that reddit comment is an all-timer and a reason I'm bearish on the lottery as a whole (and the rhetoric that lifts it up)
I find extreme cold to be physically painful. Extreme heat is just uncomfortable.
