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.
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
Next time you visit the US, insist on only reading and communicating with Celsius and you'll see how the analogy works.
@ericjmorey @rl_dane @amin @dm @roguefoam first of all what does that have to do with anything? I never claimed the US did not use Fahrenheit, that would be an absolutely silly claim, your attempt at aking me look stupid is bewildering, I don't see what you think you'd get out of that?
Second of all, why would I go to the US? I have no wish to go there, and nothing that entices me to, I'm happy where I am, and as I've said 100s of times before when in Rome... do as the romans, that's why I did not Bicycle on the right side of the road when I livid in Japan, because hat would be a very silly thing to do.
You asked why it's used in the US. I provided an answer. Changing takes more effort than not changing, just like languages.
