I’m not arguing on Fahrenheit’s behalf or saying it IS more precise. I just said it “feels” more precise because you have finer increments in whole numbers. 70 degrees F is about 21 degrees C while 90 degrees F is about 32 degrees. 20 degrees of increment in F versus 12 in C which feels more precise. It’s the same way metric length measurements feel more precise because there are whole number millimeters rather than fractional inches.
I have no strong opinion any one way, other than I feel like everyone should endeavor to be comfortable converting between various systems of measurement.
I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.
I started https://kbin.social/m/BostonTerrier and I’m trying to post multiple times a week, but it’s difficult sort of throwing things into the void. Plus, I only have two dogs!
Same here. I walked away from Reddit and, while I understand that people are going through an adjustment, the obsession with monitoring Reddit from here and constantly talking about it is a little weird. I do think some of the creative things mods are doing is funny, though, so maybe I’m part of the problem.
I mean, I guess from their side they send a craft and it just…never comes back?
Mr Trusty sounds like a lawyer from the Simpsons.
I have an elderly dog (Boston Terrier) that eats wet food only and can’t eat chicken or grain. Her food is currently costing me about $200 a month. It’s rough. I mean, worth it because she’s amazing and I want her around as long as possible, but it’s rough and I am lucky that I can afford it at the moment.
How in the world is this of any value for the FBI? WTF?
I’m really hoping the relentless public scrutiny will keep her from behaving like the Trump sycophant she is, but somehow I doubt it.
Well, there’s zero chance the bill is going anywhere but maybe they can get people “on record” voting against it, I guess. I have so little faith in our system of “checks and balances” anymore. One thing I’ve learned over the last 7 years is that our entire government is underpinned by “handshake” agreements with no rule of law and no methods for accountability and the people who make the laws aren’t really interested in fixing that.
Same for me. Participating on Reddit sometimes felt a bit like screaming into a void anyway and it was getting so overrun with bots. Every thread had a half dozen comments copied and pasted by random bots. It’s fun to step away try new things.
They had two communication systems. They had the text messaging and an automated “ping” that went every 15 minutes. Both stopped suddenly at 1:45.
