The moment we've been preparing for all year finally arrived this week: Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party's nominee for President of The United States. With the help of the Washington Post's ace political reporter Bob Costa, we break down the whole week, from the family member speeches, Ted Cruz's speech, Trump's own speech (and Peter Robinson's brush with the Trump campaign), as well as some thoughts on the changes going on this week at Fox News. We are your voice.
Music from this week’s podcast:
Imperial Death March (Vader theme) by John Williams and the London Philharmonic Orchestra
The brand new opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

James. Your air conditioner cools the air, and dehumidifies. If you turn it off in the afternoon, what happens is the entire contents of the conditioned space begin to heat up (because the air conditioner is off), including the moisture in the air in the space (which is not being removed because the air conditioner is off).
This is called a latent heat load, which the air conditioner (provided it's working) then has to labor to remove before returning the conditioned space to wherever you have set the thermostat. Ditch the switch.
