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.
@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam and then you ant to cook, work with steel or talk with someone outside your country and you sound like a dork :p
Not worried about sounding like a dork, but I did say elsewhere that I thought Fahrenheit was better in the context of weather, only.
But why is Celsius better for working with steel? Steel doesn't have state changes on any easily-memorized numbers in celcius, does it?
I do think celcius should he required for all science and engineering, though
thedoctor@rl_dane @sotolf @amin @dm @roguefoam I prefer Kelvin for science but that's at least easily converted to Celsius.
Or maybe we all settle on Réaumur? Anyone?
@thedoctor @rl_dane @sotolf @dm @roguefoam
Yeah, Kelvin's the ideal for scientific purposes.
I think using Réaumur at this point is probably unlikely. ;)
@amin @rl_dane @sotolf @dm @roguefoam Ah sorry, I didn't realize we were having a serious conversation. My bad.
@thedoctor @rl_dane @sotolf @dm @roguefoam
You're fine, I'm honestly not sure whether it's serious or not either. ;)
Some subthreads have gotten pretty heated, others have been pretty jocular.
@sotolf @thedoctor @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam
Well, that's different for everyone, I think.
But some of these were less storytelling and more "here is this dystopia I have envisioned, let me explain to you in excruciating detail why this is a problem and hint heavily at the similarities to the real world."
@amin @sotolf @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam I'm beginning to see why I didn't choose a career as a writer although, once upon a time, I dreamed of being one.
@thedoctor @sotolf @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam
It's definitely not the easiest path. ;)
