Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Popcorn and a tangerine make a good breakfast, right?
One of my classmates was saying yesterday that, when he was home in Poland, it was -20 degrees. I had to go through the whole, "OK, -20 divided by 5 is -4. Times 9 is -36. Plus 32 is -4," before getting to "Yeah, that's pretty cold."

Instead of dong all that math, I'd think, "OK, zero degrees C is 32F and -40 degrees C = -40 degrees F, so -20 C would be halfway between 32 and -40F, so that's about -4ish F....
Or you can double it, subtract 10%, then add 32.
I just learned this -- after talking with Sue.
My method is to hunt up the nearest thermometer, which cleverly has both scales on it.
It's too damned cold. There's condensation on my office windows and it sure is not humid in here.
And the roads are so salty, clouds of deicer billow up and you can taste it. Uhg.
I never convert the temperature in the winter, but in the summer, I often do. I guess 77F seems warmer than 25C.
Of course! It's a bigger number.
That makes sense to me, Sue. You may want to be afraid, now.
With the fever thing -- I was just thinking that a 1 degree body temperature jump is in Celsius is so much more significant than it is, in Fahrenheit.
37C is 98.6F; 38C is 100.4F; 39C is 102.2F; 40C is 104.
Okay, the Women's final is on at approximately 8:30 pm Central time - there would be no logical reason for ESPN to NOT show it live, right? Same with the Men's tomorrow?
And there is a preview for the Top Chef finale up - it looks like they brought back Betty instead of Cliff. Interesting teams: Marcel with Sam and Michael and Ilan with Elia and Betty.

Yeah. I think if people measure body temperature in C, they include the first decimal for greater precision (for the reason you mentioned).
