  100 is hot out and 0 is cold. That’s not crazy. 35 being hot out is pretty arbitrary for day to day use. But if your job is boiling water every day, it’s probably not the best.

  What? People experience 100 f regularly. It’s literally their body temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only it was like that⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes no sense. K is not a constant. Is there a variable in there?

  Temperature is a measure of entropy. It depends on the disorder in a system somehow.

  Celcius us a horrible scale for science or engineering. The world literally explodes when water freezes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only it was like that⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up in Iowa which would see 0f and 100f every year easily. Now I live in Bangkok which is basically just 90-100 year round. I’m not sure Celsius helps either that much. But outside Iowa I haven’t cared much about the temp outside ever either.

  I think basically every industry has been dealing with automation for 100 years now. Art is only unique (imo) in that they’ve been avoiding it for awhile. That’s why I only ride in vehicles where every part is hand made and assembled.

  I assume they’re being quadruply careful with trump. The last thing they want is to take him to court and lose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As an American who left, it looks batshit insane to me. Everything is crazy expensive and they’re passing restrictive laws that, if passed anywhere in Asia or Africa, would be run as “look at these backwards shitty country” news stories.

  I’ve got a trans kid. We’re not returning any time soon. It seems unsafe for them to exist in the us for the foreseeable future.

  But I’ve got us friends who feel the opposite. We visited a friend in Bainbridge a few years ago who really couldn’t comprehend why everyone wouldn’t want to live on their island.

  Asia (here) isn’t really any more unsafe. I visited India recently and it felt less safe, but everyone I know there also said it wasn’t really. It depends on areas as well, and much of it (everywhere) is just media depictions and racism telling your brain to panic.

  The real advantage of the us is just cash. You can make a lot more money there. They’re rich. Money is good. It makes life easier. Its also expensive there. To save at any income level, you have to be thrifty.
