I think I came across as saying something different than I intended. I wasn't arguing that Fahrenheit IS more precise. I was saying it feels more precise.

If I'm measuring a length, then metric feels more precise. I can measure 1035mm in a nice, whole, number while 40.74803 inches is a length I can't measure well with a measuring tape and I'd probably end up calling it 40.75" which, even then, still isn't a whole number. I'm just talking about the perception, not the actual useful nature.

I'm not arguing on Fahrenheit's behalf or saying it IS more precise. I just said it "feels" more precise because you have finer increments in whole numbers. 70 degrees F is about 21 degrees C while 90 degrees F is about 32 degrees. 20 degrees of increment in F versus 12 in C which feels more precise. It's the same way metric length measurements feel more precise because there are whole number millimeters rather than fractional inches.

I have no strong opinion any one way, other than I feel like everyone should endeavor to be comfortable converting between various systems of measurement.

I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.

It's just a breed appreciation sub, so not too serious. I did post a couple of Boston Terrier relevant articles and I'm going to continue to try to post a single post a day. The sub is six days old and currently has 5 posts (haven't posted today yet), but just me and one other sub, heh. Maybe it'll take off one day.

I started https://kbin.social/m/BostonTerrier and I'm trying to post multiple times a week, but it's difficult sort of throwing things into the void. Plus, I only have two dogs!

It serves the same point it served on Reddit. There are huge bot farms dedicated to shaping the social media landscape. There is a new social media "boom" so the bots want to get in on the ground floor.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know saying goodbye is painful. We lost two of our dogs in the last year, aged 13 and 14, and it still feels like there's an empty place where they belong.

You gave him love and he loved you in return and that makes the whole thing worth it. He is beautiful. Thank you for sharing him with us.

It's a dopamine hit. That's why you did it. I'm finding myself reading whole news articles instead of the first paragraph and then two pages of other people's comments about it, so that's probably good for my overall mental health.

I have an elderly dog (Boston Terrier) that eats wet food only and can't eat chicken or grain. Her food is currently costing me about $200 a month. It's rough. I mean, worth it because she's amazing and I want her around as long as possible, but it's rough and I am lucky that I can afford it at the moment.
