    Dry air is overrated. It makes your skin dry up and sometimes cause allergies to flare up (skin allergies and respiratory ailments). At the least, if the humidity in my home goes below 40%, if I scratch my skin, bakat yung nails ko.

    Besides discomfort and potential health issues, if the humidity is too low, it may not be able to dissipate static electricity. In other words, if you find yourself being zapped when you touch metal objects after standing up from a chair, couch, etc., the air is too dry.

    I ordered an AKG earbuds from shoppee last week wednesday since it's local i expect it to be arrived in few days. It should arrive yesterday but it wasn't.

    I recently checked on the app that my parcel has arrived at my neareast J&T branch in better living since yesterday, so I can simply go to that nearest J&T branch / station today and I will pick up my parcel and pay it there. My payment method was COD.

    Any tsikoteers tried this? Picking up the parcel at J&T and not to a delivery courier?

    baka magka-salisi kayo ng pakete ninyo?

    personally,
    if i bought it for the convenience of home delivery,
    i'd wait for it in the home.

    today i had to return a defective tool. now you can drop it off at J&T for free (before you had to pay for the return shipping).

    however, J&T doesn't provide any kind of receipt or proof that you've dropped off the item. you simply hand it over to them just like that good thing the tool only costs less than 1k

    lazada's system is much better. you drop it off at LBC. then they print out something for your reference

    I don't remember getting an receipt last time. What I did is, I took a picture while the LBC staff was holding it.

    This is when air is too dry....which it hardly gets here w/ a portable dehumidifier, or even an AC.... unless you seal the room airtight to keep outside air off like a plane or get into an industrial dehumidifying chamber like those used to further dry kiln-dried wood.
    Got 2 rooms w/ significantly different humidity conditions. The degree of comfort difference is like hell & earth....AC is heaven.[emoji4]

    There's a only a range of humidity that is most comfortable to humans and it's not fixed. It works with the ambient temp (relative humidity) that gives you that sensation of comfort or discomfort.

    Just stating that dry air is better is really over-simplifying it.

    Bonus... helps eliminate mildew, dust, odors(armpits included as perspiration dries faster with it[emoji4]) & some allergens, too.

    Absolutely no argument from here, sir.[emoji4]
    If you can re-read the posted suggestion above, it was mentioned humidifiers are good for DRY regions/seasons, not ours. We're in the tropics where relative humidity is constantly high & a drop in moisture can help w/ comfort...w/o the higher AC purchase & running costs.
