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.

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’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.

I think this is the direction they should all take. Open but “quiet quit” and either do like /r/scams is doing with requiring approval but working on their own timetable, or let the subs devolve into unmoderated bot-a-thon mess.
