@linuxPigPen In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Go f*ck yourself", because you can't directly relate any of those quantities.

Scottish, not Aussie.
Personally I'm in favour of metric over imperial, the only thing it doesn't work for is the calendar.
- linuxPigPen6 years agoSeasoned Ace@MAGICDAVESHROOM I drove through Canada once awhile back and all their gas stations had signs that said although their gas prices looked higher we were getting a good deal because they were quoting in Imperial gallons. I call BS. 🙂

I have always found it confusing that a US gallon is smaller than an imperial gallon, the USA's🇺🇸 measurement system was copied from the UK,s🇬🇧.
Petrol in the is now sold in litres as it is supposed to look cheaper than the price per gallon.

thx everyone for the rain as it is a fall/winter drought here !!!
"terribly" cold day today at 44 degrees F - I know, single digit Celcius, but it could be still colder !!
We may have had a freeze (0 C) once or twice in December but not even close in January

You should change your phone settings to belfast, Jamaica and perhaps you and your cacti will feel warmer.
- 6 years ago@MAGICDAVESHROOM I think we will psychologically feel warm, but physically cold xD man...if its that temperature, my cactus will be huge by now~~

I like the Fahrenheit scale for temperature because it correlates readily with the normal grading scale.
A (90 - 100) is HOT
F (60 and below) is COLD

And water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F. Super easy to remember^^

Stop applying common sense little frozen shroom.
- 6 years ago@MAGICDAVESHROOM I only have a teeny bit of common sense left....*pfftt....* i need to use it before its gone.... x(

I know, right? And how long did you ponder before being able to TOSS out those numbers so readily? Hard to remember, indeed.

In my view Celcius is too "compressed as a scale" to be able to gauge the weather properly

And on The Great British Baking Show, every time they say, "preheat your oven to 170", I start shouting "You can't even warm bread at that silly temp"!
