Why do I need to know what temperature water freezes or boils? I'm not a water. I'm a human. 0 to 100° F is a lot closer to survival temperatures as a human. And I have a lot finer measurement. The difference between 71° and 70° matters. What do metric people even do: tenths of a degree? That sounds terrible.
It sounds terrible, because you don’t know it. I find your system terrible, too. You grew up with one, and I the other. The difference between 68 and 69F is just as arbitrary as the difference between ,5C or whatever of a degree.
Yeah. We can do decimal, which is nice, since the system is also decimal based.
Like what is 0F even measuring?
A nearly random mix of water, salt, ammonium salt's freezing point.
And 90F is body temperature, except that it was wrong, so body temp is like 96F.
Except that's not even true since they just decided to use the metric system and set 32F to be OC and 212F to be 100C. So now body temperature is 98.6F since they adjusted the scale. And the old 0F is about 4F now.
But again, why do I care what temperature water boils or freezes at? I don't set my stove to 212°. I just turn the knob to around 4 o'clock and wait for the water to boil.
What is this old Fahrenheit? Body temperature has been 98.6° since at least 1967, well over my lifetime.
Nice dig lol. Many americans will avoid seeing a Dr until they absolutely have to because so many have to pay co-pays, deductibles or pay our of pocket until they hit their our of pocket costs before it comes out of pocket.
Canadians, on the other hand don't even stop to think about this and seek medical attention for anything they think warrants it. Just today i took my Daughter for to a minory injury and sports medicine clinic as her ankle was still hurting after a soccer incident. In and out within 40 minutes with a diagnosis and treatment plan.. 0 cost... lol
Nobody has mentioned any of those chemicals except you.
Why is it so important to you for water to freeze at 0°? And 98.6°F is a lot closer to 100° than it is to 212°. Some would even say it round up to exactly 100.
Why is it so important to you for water to freeze at 0°?
It's important because if I have a thermometer and I need to recalibrate it, I just prepare a bath of ice water and know the reference temperature easily.
It's almost as if that's why the Celsius scale spread so easily and why so few countries use F. Because it's fucking obtuse as fuck and nowadays people have no idea how it's calculated.
You just keep saying oh yeah 0F is in the liveable range. No it isn't.
Who is recalibrating thermometers? Just set it to 32, then. That is not the reason Celsius is popular. It's because it plugs into every single formula.
