Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin
  • Humidity. I'm guessing you don't live in a humid place because freezing temps are horrifically cold here. You will need a winter coat and multiple layers of your going to be outside for a while. I layer long Johns under my pants and wear my parka and a light jacket as well as 2 layers of socks. Everytime a northerner comes here they are shocked at the cold/heat. That's because the air here is full of water to the point that you will actually get wet just from the humidity, not even sweating.

  • Freezing temps here are definitely considered very cold. Cold enough that you need multiple layers and you should be wrapping your pipes to prevent freezing. It's very humid here. Our freezing is insanely cold. Like chills you to your bones cold. Our hot here is insanely hot as well.

  • "the original paper suggests the lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).[2][3] The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F (about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale)."

    That's from your link. Seems like the guy you responded to was correct or the wiki isn't.

  • No one said it represents "100%", whatever that is even supposed to mean. 100F is really hot outside. 0 F is really cold. Doesn't have to make 100% sense. Celsius doesn't make perfect sense either. There is no perfect magical scale that works completely.

    Can someone explain the benefits of Usenet to a long-time torrent-er?
  • I'm interested. I haven't torrented in years because of security issues. How would one go about utilizing this service. You pay for Usenet, but where? And how do you use it?

    So excited to be back
  • Same! I can barely tell I'm not on reddit all the time. I missed this app so much. Finally deleted the reddit app today after I installed this one

  • I wasn't gonna join Lemmy but seeing the notification that boost for Lemmy dropped I had to check it out. I liked it so much I paid to remove ads and made an account. Thanks for all the work on the app <3
