Casey LissYou 🇬🇧 folks can be mad about how we pronounce “hover”, but at least we don’t absolutely butcher “router”.
Seriously, how in the hell did you get “rooter” from “router”‽
Dr. Drang@caseyliss And yet you put periods and commas outside quotation marks. Next you’ll be putting an “s” on the end of “math.”
James Thomson@drdrang @caseyliss Casey was telling me only this week that he was broadly in favour of metric units.
@jamesthomson @caseyliss That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.
@drdrang @caseyliss I think it means we're finally getting through to him.
@jamesthomson Imperial units are moronic. Except Fahrenheit which is unimpeachably the better unit for ambient air temps.
TheEJJ 🇨🇦@caseyliss @jamesthomson the world will never know peace until we can admit that both units of measurement get it wrong.
Fahrenheit is correct at the upper levels. 100 Fahrenheit is correct.
Freezing though? What the hell kind of number is 32 for freezing?!
0 Celsius is correct.
The perfect temperature unit would go from 0 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Michael Wyman@TheEjj @caseyliss @jamesthomson freezing is for water. But we’re humans:
100°F is fucking hot.
0°F is fucking cold.
0°C is like, eh, I should probably think about wearing a jacket…
@mwyman @caseyliss @jamesthomson but it’s practical both from a comfort perspective and an environmental perspective to know when water will freeze.
Whereas knowing when it will boil is silly.
