He was a German scientist in Poland, actually.

It isn’t about being “scared” of them, it is about them being used.

And we don’t just make forecasts, we report actual temperatures.

But whatever, you just want an air of superiority.

You go if you want to be precise as Fahrenheit is without decimals.

Yet weather reports rarely include them.

Fahrenheit was literally devised by a physicist, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a European, mind you.

It was based on physical properties, too. Originally 0 was the freezing point of a replicable water solution, and 96 was set at human body temperature (96 used as it made dividing a thermometer easier). It was later recalibrated to put boiling at 212, 180 degrees from freezing, but that’s the original basis.

There is no god-ordained rule that states that 0 has to be the freezing point of water, nor 100 the boiling point.

Fahrenheit also has an inherent advantage to Celsius in that for every 5 degrees C there are 9 degrees F. There is more inherent precision.

Everything has been downhill since then.

There wouldn’t be slack if people were reasonably on time. Easier just to get rid of people that refuse to be on time.

So, you should get overtime.

As I have said, occasionally something happens. But I know too many people that are RARELY on time.

And I’m a worker. I don’t say I own anyone. Being late fucks with your fellow employees that have to pick up your slack.

I understand if it’s occasional. But constantly means you are not giving it all. Sorry, I just hate lateness. I am almost never late, but am constantly waiting on people that cannot meet at an agreed upon time. It just wastes my time and shows me they think their time is more important than mine. It’s a pet peeve.

I’m all for flexibility and flextime when it can be granted. But if you agree something happens at a certain time, it should happen at that time.
