    68 is shorts and T-shirt weather in my part of the world. No one carries a jacket around if it’s that warm. Maybe it’s cold to you if you live between the tropics? I can’t speak to that

    20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have. The original comment is just a decent guideline and “I just don’t believe that you can’t understand” what a guideline is.

    But if you need all this stuff to exist outside in nice weather maybe a quick guideline is not for you…

      20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have.

      What kind of shortcut? 68-80 are so massively different. Even if 68 is shorts and t-shirt for you, that means 86 is “uncomfortably hot”. And even if 68 is t-shirt weather, it means at night it’s going to drop probalby 10 degrees. So 68 is “tshirt weather right now, but bring a jacket”, and 86 is “tshirt weather but leave the jacket at home”. and the 10 degree bands of F are perfect for that. 60s is “cool, may or may not require a jacket depending on your preference”. 70s is “nice right now but prepare for cool when the sun goes down”, 80s is “warm, don’t bring a jacket”, etc.

      So sure, we don’t have the “20-30c” shortcut (again, way too big to be useful). We have EVERY 10 degree band as a shortcut

        68-80 are similar temps. I’m comfy at both. I wear the same thing outdoors at both temps.

        I’m sorry you don’t I guess and are offended that someone else is different than you.

        20-30 is easier to understand than 68-80 for most people (obviously there’s an exception)

          Yes, 68 to 80 are somewhat similar. I obviously meant 68-86.

          But 68-80 IS similar, and it’s exactly why F is better, because we have the 70-80 band. But that’s exactly the point, 68 and 86 are NOT similar temps, hence being in separate 80-90 band.

            Yes obviously.

              If you read the discussion that you were actually having to me, we were obviously talking about 20-30c, which is 68-86F. And it was mentioned several times in this thread. And the context of my reply made it abundantly clear I meant 68-86

                Yes I mistyped 80vs86. but that percentage of 100 is similar enough that I can’t really tell the difference.

                I was agreeing that 68 and 86 are both T-shirt weather. Still is to most folks. I get it you’re not most folks.

                I’m imagining your place as just filled with coats and thermometers that you care about this to such an extent.

                  Yes I mistyped 80vs86.

                  Oh, thought you were being sarcastic.

                  But are you seriously saying you can’t tell the difference between 68 and 86? That’s absolutely absurd

                  I’m imagining your place as just filled with coats

                  Yes I live in San Francisco, I have several coats.

                  and thermometers

                  My thermostat and my phone. So “full”

                    Correct I literally can’t tell the difference. That’s 100% what I’m saying. (Yeap that was sarcasm)

                    I’m saying 68 and 86 are both T-shirt weather. And 20-30 is more meaningful to me than 68-86. That’s it. That’s all.
