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 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.
@sotolf @ericjmorey @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam
It's also far easier to convert between C and F than to translate between any languages. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure most people in the US know how to do the conversion.
@ericjmorey @sotolf @rl_dane @dm @roguefoam
Really?
I know it was tought to me when I attended 1st grade in the US. And any science class is gonna teach it…
I guess people might forget it all once adults.
I'd bet that at least 1/3 of people in the US couldn't identify Texas on a map. Anything involving simple math that isn't tied directly to their livelihood, I'd expect at least 50% to not be able to of the top of their heads.

I'd bet that at least 1/3 of people in the US couldn't identify Texas on a map.
Seriously??? It's really not hard to recognize, at all. Very recognizable shape, the largest shape, the biggest sticking-out part of the overall shape…
