  • As a metric person, I can confirm.

    Indoor temperatures are basically 18-22 for most people most of the time.

    15-25 covers the whole range of indoor temperatures that people with functioning heat or A/C would see.

    For temperatures outside we commonly round to the nearest five:*

    • -5 and below: very cold winter weather
    • 0 cold winter weather
    • 5 mild winter weather
    • 10 autumn weather
    • 15 spring weather
    • 20 summer weather
    • 25 beach weather
    • 30 heatwave
    • 35 and higher heatwave in the Sahara

    The only thing I admire of the Fahrenheit scale is that it can round to the nearest 10 and still be a little bit more precise than Celsius with the nearest 5. And when discussing fever temperatures, Celsius needs half degrees and Fahrenheit does not.

    But it’s an absolutely awful scale for cooking.

    Just have a look at your spending.

    Anything non-essential, big chance you were partially marketed into it.

    People rarely consciously buys something based on marketing.

    There is usually a rationalization.

    E.g. see ad for video doorbell. Rationalize that it would be quite useful. Buy.

    Or, see ad for nice TV with good price. Rationalize that it’s pretty affordable and a big upgrade to current TV. Buy




  • Censorship is never the answer.

    There are more than a billion Muslims in the world. Obviously, Bin Laden is an idiot. But within those billion Muslims there are enough other idiots that share his way of thinking. Enough that things like Hamas and ISIS are real threats to our societies.

    I, for one, do not wish to engage in a holy war against these idiots on behalf of an Apartheid regime.

    Neutrality in holy wars is a perfectly reasonable position to take.

    If Netanyahu wants to desecrate their mosque, steal their land and kill their children, then we should condemn that. Not support it.

    Our governments are painting a red flag on our backs and inflaming the stupid bull.

    This will not end well.
