Why? Genuinely curious.

Temperatures are the hardest to convert on the fly, specially if it gets into the negatives.
Celsius is easier for water temperature (0-100), but air temperature is what we mostly concern ourselves with in regard to weather. And actually if I’m cooking I can tell if the water is frozen or boiling by looking at it. I don’t use a thermometer lmao, so I’m not even sure that’s such an advantage.

Fahrenheit is more precise. The ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit — a 130-degree range. On the Celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees — a 72.1-degree range. This means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using Fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.

Using a temperature scale with a higher degree of accuracy is important when programming a thermostat, considering the cost and nature of the fuels needed to accomplish that.

Temps are the only thing I can sort of convert. I always just double and add 30. It's close enough lol. Never thought about negative temps, though.

If accuracy is the reason, don't decimals fulfill that? If you're trying to pinpoint something in Celsius can't you just break it up?
 
Slightly off topic but I was at open mat, and I had a roll with one of the really good guys that beats me up every time. I could smell alcohol on him and was scared to death the guy was going to accidentally break one of my limbs. Didn't turn out that bad though.

this is what has me avoiding the thing altogether. i don't fear superior ability, i fear stupidity.

I was caught off guard by it but I suppose a buzzed guy who's that good is far more composed and in control then most. I've only been hurt three times and they all were from spazzing white belts. Two of my knuckles can't crack and I had a knee injury that lingered for about two months. The same principle seems true in Rugby. The time I got most hurt was always from some person who came down for their first practice. Funny enough, I have a third knuckle I can't crack and it's from that. The slight califlower I have on one ear is from some dumbass clapping both his hands on my head as I was heading into him (Rugby, not BJJ).
 
Why is it considering escalation to quote someone who didn't tag you about how you act and you simply ask for details. That doesn't seem wrong to me.
I'm not a part of whatever this is brother. I've just been on the internet too long.

@Lead who did you guys ban that they got so pissed off they ddos'd the site all day?
 
Fahrenheit
Seems like it isn't anything malicious. I am a bit paranoid myself though. Hopefully that was the last one.

It seems that the Deep State has made an enemy and is in denial mode. :D

I didn’t say accuracy, I said precision. Accuracy would be determined by the device you use to measure not the system of measurement. Decimals fulfill that lack of precision to an extent but it’s easier and more intuitive to not use decimals.

The main point is the simple old thought that at 0F you’re cold and at 100F you’re hot; at 0C you’re cold and at 100C you’re dead. Which is where the intuitive part of it regarding air temperature makes sense to me.

It was a kind of throwaway statement on how if I personally had to use Celsius for one and Fahrenheit for the other I’d do the opposite of how the apparently do it in Canada. Not really that Fahrenheit is necessarily better.
 
Ok boys, I'm gonna hang out in here for the next 30 or so days to prevent my banning.

I get along with people better here and I seem to be in crosshairs of some of the men in blue.

It's very easy not to get banned bro.
