Comment on The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!

there’s a whole host of temperature scales, some of which look similar, some look different, some scale the same at the same temperature difference but have different zeroes, and at least one works backwards. Thank goodness there’s only three you’re likely to see in the wild these days, I’d hate to have to keep in mind whether or not those degrees are not Celsius or Fahreheit, but… idk, Newton? Réamur? Rømer? Delisle?

More like only 4 than 3, at least in the us, I unfortunately run into Rankine at my job on occasion.

Welp, it is like Kelvin, just with Fahrenheit step.
