...as long as I like them. If I'm with someone I don't harmonize with, -80% (if I'm unarmed). Though, luckily, I do well with most people that aren't total assclowns. Contrary to popular belief, I'm a fairly easy dude to get along with.
Funny thing, I'm considered a natural leader, in demanding situations... but I sorely lack the ambition to take charge. It was in my early 20s - when I spent more time in the city instead of the suburbs - when I realized it was a result of the town I lived in. It's said (at least by me), "In Highland Park and Deerfield... one who sticks his neck out for others, is the first to be beheaded."
Litigation is king of kings around where I grew up, so it's best to not stand out, for risk of being sued. One instance had a big impact on that sentiment - A nearby dance academy was sued because their instructor was TOO talented. One of her student's moms felt it did irreparable harm to the ego of her daughter to witness someone so exceptional, and unobtainable without a lifetime of dedication and hard

That's great! Try slowing down the fan if possible. This will reduce the condensation, and actually lower the temp. of the air coming from the fan. Now you just need someone to keep adding ice every 30 minutes. If this doesn't work out for you, check out these portable units:
Thanks for the info. I had a few ideas about digging a deep hole and burying copper coils a few feet down, and circulate the water through to cool it down without having to constantly change the water. Though it wouldn't be as effective as running ice water through it, I wouldn't have to maintain it so much. It'd also be cool if I'm living off grid, and I can't run large appliances like a freezer or window air unit.
But, I've still got a lot of time to come up with ideas. At present, I'm happy to have a very economic central forced-air heating/cooling at my condo, which I'll try to hold onto until the housing market perks up again.
I was concerned of this, too. But, surprisingly, it didn't have a big impact on the humidity levels in the room. Both humidistats in the room indicated a negligible increase in the relative humidity at first. But, after 45 minutes, they actually registered a small reduction in humidity.
I figured, since I covered the bucket, I wasn't introducing a lot more humidity into the room. Any condensation forming on the coils, was being taken out of the latent humidity already in the room. Since I had a towel catching a lot of the condensation, and I was periodically wringing it out into a sink, I was actually removing moisture from the room. Nice!
I suspect if I was able to seal the room better (my office has no door), and I sealed the water supply a little better, the humidity would drop even more. I also considered using chamois material as a wick on the bottom of each of the coils to more-effectively grab condensation, so I could remove even more humidity.
