I meant for winter.

23/26 in summer (home/away), 18/22/20 in winter (away/home/asleep)

@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.

@sotolf @amin @dm @roguefoam

That (65°F) is a pretty cold sleeper for Texas.

@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam 20 in winter is cold?

@sotolf @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam

I honestly have no idea what people here set their thermostats to; everything is in Freedom Units™©®.

@amin @sotolf @dm @roguefoam

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. ;)

@amin @sotolf @dm @roguefoam

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

@sotolf @amin @dm @roguefoam

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

@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam so why would you have two different systems and have to convert between them? that makes no sense to me.

@sotolf

Same reason why we don't all speak one language.

@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam

@ericjmorey @rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam not really, all countries except a few use celsius, that's not analogous at all.

@sotolf

Next time you visit the US, insist on only reading and communicating with Celsius and you'll see how the analogy works.

@rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam

@ericjmorey @rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam as I said before it's not analogous to languages since almost every country has there own language, it's not the case that all people speak english except a small numbers of people that refuse to communicate in anything else than coptic.
@ericjmorey @rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam also you know what I do when I travel to another country? I learn the language spoken there at least enough to do basic communication, I don't go to a country expecting and demanding of them to speak my mother tongue, which is what americans do all the time. It's about respect, I use celsius as a standard unit of measuring heat because that's what 90% of countries use, why should I have to kowtow to a vocal minority? American exceptionalism and entitlement really goes on my nerves some times, I even learned your language since nobody else will go through the effort of even trying to learn a few courtesy phrases of mine...
