I guess so, but maybe the body and brain adapts too, depending on where you live. Average annual temperature where I live is 26 degrees C, could be lower indoors.

But how would they determine this if it is true that they do not store messages on their servers?

Thanks for the detailed response. Great points for me to note! I think hope and optimism are what keep us going, even when everything around us is mostly negative.

I see. There is a reference to BASIC in mid Season 2, where they had to use a computer to unlock certain doors. The UI was Text only :-)
