While this data is very interesting I think it’s way too cluttered to be beautiful
I agree. Plus I am unsure if there would be a way to make the data more readable or if I’m just too dumb to read that properly.
I won’t say you are wrong but 0.9°C savings is pretty fuckin beautiful to me
It’s bittersweet but it’s more than I thought it was
I don’t know if I’ll call it a 0.9 savings. Kinda like how if you brought something you didn’t need because it was on special - just 0.9 not-as-bad.
