    the fact that 20-30 points goes from freezing cold to death and destruction and fire is everything that’s wrong with Celsius for weather.

    F for weather C for chemistry K for astronomy

    FCK one unit of measure.

      Why is that a problem once you know it? I know 0 is kinda cold, 20 is kind warm and 30 is kinda hot.

        Loss of precision. Most digital thermostats only display two digits for cost savings. I’ve had experiences with mini-splits that are too cold at 27 and too hot at 28.

        I enjoy rabble rousing C-freaks. I lived in a Celsius country for 3 years (Hong Kong), each degree is too much, decimals for weather is silly.

        Farenheit is so simple, on a scale of 0-100, how fucking hold/cold is it?

          So what is 0F defined as and what is 100F?

          Can these units be reproduced without variance?

          Absolutely trash system.

      Mate, it’s metric, if you need more units just go down an order and you have 200 to 300 units.

        talk about your silver lining! Hey, we never really got to use 50 deg C in weather yet! Hype!
