40 below the lowest possible temperature? -313.15°C
Yeah -40 K overflows and becomes 18,446,744,073,709,551,535 K
-72 Rankine
30 degrees Fahrenheit? Hell yeah. It’s practically tropical. If it’s sunny as well, I’ll be rolling my windows down.
(Not me in pic, but I’ve been him)
Today is 42.2 C for me today. Then you factor humidity on top of that and it becomes like the gates of hell. Then I remember that I live in dallas and I basically already am in hell.
The European mind can not comprehend…
Friday looks pretty chill. Something to look forward to!
We do now, where we live in France we just had 44°. So my condolences and please stay stay safe out there.
That sucks. Yeah - we have those temps in Texas for months at a time, but at least we have air conditioning most places.
It’s also one of the reasons development is so hostile for pedestrians and cyclists here. We design everything around taking air conditioning with us wherever we go, which leads to car-first development.
Oh shit. Honestly I feel more for you guys than me. We have infrastructure built for it. Everything has AC. I even just put a window unit in my bedroom to take some load off the older main unit that has been struggling to keep up. But over there you were never built for that kind of heat. I wish you all the best with climate change.
Getting AC where we live is very difficult to install (we have 40 to 50cm thick walls) and expensive to run.
I flew to San Antonio a few yewrs ago. I remember it being about 10 degrees cooler than Tulsa.
I didn’t go outside in Dallas, though.
European here, just had two weeks of temperatures never going below 30c even at night. I had 34c at 3am the other day… We basically are all in hell at this point.
I’m slowly trying to convert myself to metric. Temperature is a hard one for me because it’s so ingrained in my psyche.
Length is easier. 440mm is much easier than 17 21/64 in. Plus all the CAD software I use is easy to switch to metric. Weight isn’t hard either since most of the maker things I use (filament/resin) are in metric. My doctor’s office even weighs me in kg thinking they can sneak it by me. I know what 92.4kg is you cheeky bastards.
I am the same way. For me I just memorized 2 C to F conversions and work it as a relativity from there. 22C is about 72F, the perfect inside temp to me. Then because I live in a hot place my other anchor is 40C being 104F. To me that is the threshold going from “fuck this is hot” to “shitty hot, avoid outside”.
I would recommend just memorizing some key anchor points that are normal for your climate and learning from those.
That’s a very good idea. I may start doing that. I should convert my home thermostat but I’m pretty sure my wife would balk at it being set to “so cold” (23°C or so)
For april fools one year I released a drawing package in metric. Merriment was had.
Mostly by me.
LOL! I’m a Celsius person.
It’s pleasant here at the moment. 35/95 and 20% humidity. Small thunderstorm passing through.
Yo its like 97 degrees. Is that like the temperature of the sun in Europe?
Well it’s 37 right now where I’m at 😵💫
I’m all for metric, but I think farenheit is better for temperature.
It just ranges better in my opinion. 70 degrees farenheit vs. 21.11 degrees Celsius
Hot take: F is the superior temperature measurement for real people. If you are a scientist in a lab, sure, maybe referencing the state changes in water is useful for you somehow.
But for a normal person, 90% of the use of tempertature measurements is knowing what clothes to wear, and the other 10% is for setting oven temperatures. Oven temperatures are far hotter than waters boiling point, so F and C are equialvalently useful.
For knowing how to dress, however, F clearly has the advantage, as the numbers map to obvious temperature ranges. Ie,
100F = really fuckin hot
0F = really fuckin cold0C = water freezes, 100C = water boils
If this isn’t more useful, tell me.
