  Besides providing verbatim records of who said what, there is a second can of worms in forming any sort of binding agreement if the two sides of the agreement are having two different conversations.

  I think this is what the part about the missed nuance means.

  Plants are green because the sun is green, duh

  tell me the last time a regular person had platinum-iridium ingot

  What, you don’t?

  But yeah, I agree, units are made up. I mean, why is the boiling point at 100C and not any other number? Someone made it up.
  I’m just saying the argument “0F is really cold” is just as true as -10F is really cold or +10F is really cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨temperature⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a difference between 19, 20, and 21 Celsius?

  First off, nobody claimed that Celsius is based on human perception so humans not being able to differentiate between these is simply irrelevant to the argument.
  Second, the bounds of 0 and 100 are based on the freezing temp of water which are specific, non-arbitrary temperatures.

  I’m not arguing one system over the other, I just think the “human scale” argument has been made up just to have an argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨temperature⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “human scale” is dismissed as even existing by the Celsius users

  Celsius user here.
  I find “I’m more used to it, therefore it makes more intuitive sense to me” is a perfectly understandable argument.

  The problem with the human scale argument is that it makes it sound completely arbitrary.
  To a human there is no objective difference between -1F, 0F or +1F. They are all about the same degree of “cold”.

  grass […] needs constant watering, fertilizing and cutting

  I think you’re not actually talking about grass but lawns.
  Grass in the wild doesn’t need any of that.

  But at least pronunciation is mostly consistent.
  In English two words can be written almost exactly the same but sound wildly different.
  Looking at you, words with “ough”

  Baldur’s Gate 3 boss

  Wow, Larian really breaking the 4th wall in this game.
  One of those boss fights where you really regret having to fight him because he actually has a good point.
  Probably still evil though.

  I’ve been told that the stuff isn’t actually plastic,

  Some even claim this stuff is cheese
