I meant for winter.
23/26 in summer (home/away), 18/22/20 in winter (away/home/asleep)
sotolf@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam you sleep that warm? I usually turn off all heat in the room when sleeping, so I'm often down to single degree temperatures hen sleeping, I sleep better when the room isn't warm for some reason.
That (65°F) is a pretty cold sleeper for Texas.

I honestly have no idea what people here set their thermostats to; everything is in Freedom Units™©®.
Fahrenheit is the only imperial unit I'm a fan of. I think it's just a more sensible scale for temperatures within the range that humans experience.
For anything scientific/engineering, Celcius and Kelvin all the way.
@rl_dane @sotolf @dm @roguefoam
Why, though? The "32 as freezing" thing just makes zero sense.
With Celcius 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling, the two temperatures that are typically the ones that matter the most to humans. ;)
Because 0 is heckin' cold and 100 is heckin' hot.
In Celcius, 0 is pretty cold, and 100 is DEAD, EVER SO DEAD.
I think Fahrenheit makes much more sense for climate-related applications.
I will say that 0 Celcius is a pretty important number, because you need to be aware of freezing conditions.
But 32 Fahrneheit is quite nearly as easy to remember. ;)

I don't know, I get confused about the 32 all the time. It's not remembering the number that's the problem so much as looking at a number and not recognizing it as freezing. When someone says "twenty degrees" to me, I do not and have never thought of that as below freezing immediately (and I used to use Freedom Units™©® for temperature). And you have to do math to figure out how far below freezing it is; with Celsius it's just the "how far below freezing" with a minus sign tacked on.

Ok, then how about a new unit with 0 Celsius as 0, and 100 Fahrenheit as 100?
mirabilos@sotolf @dm @roguefoam @amin @rl_dane what for other than breaking compat with all three of K, °C and °F?

No, no, you're looking for this one:
