QotD: How Do You Cope With the Heat?

How do you beat the heat?

Despite tonight's 9 p.m. NBA Finals tip-off, this question doesn't have to do with basketball. (And besides, Dirk Nowitski and the Dallas Mavericks have answered that question twice already.)

Temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-90s this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service's New York forecast office. We'll get the trademark New York summer humidity too, with the gauge topping 70 percent through late morning before it drops slightly toward late afternoon.

Some people cave on the first hot day and switch on the AC, while others sweat it out determinedly until a major heatwave in July or August. How do you deal with the heat?
