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