I gotta check if Laid Back Camp has a new series!

Best get started.

Let them eat cake.

Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.

Let's start with Schengen zone membership and see how we feel after that. The currency would be a hard sell.

Yeah I don't buy 400m either.

Speaking from a university perspective - we've been scaling back our computer labs a fair bit, as there's a lot of people with personal laptops and tablets now. Almost half our former workstations are now eliminated or BYOD.

So a lot of Windows machines are just gone.

That is a weird argument. TBH there are only like six ACTUAL temperatures: fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fuckin' cold. Everything else is paperwork and doesn't really inform your day to day. The difference between say 30 and 29C is maybe undoing a button on your shirt.

One quibble - it fully ignores humidity, as does C. The subjective feel of a climate doesn't depend only on temperature. 50% humidity at 10C is very different from 50% at 40C.

Subjectively? I only really think there are like six temperatures. Fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fucking cold. My clothing choices change at each stage of that scale.

Just because F encapsulates that in a positive integer 1-100 scale doesn't really make it appeal to me. C feels much more natural, more human, because you're not dealing with ludicrously small increments that don't matter for day to day use, and the 0-30 captures almost all temperatures you're going to actually see day to day.

It irks me that people are trying to turn their personal prejudices and habits into like, objective universal laws.

There are very few places that experience -17C and 40C for that to be really useful. And I don't get it at all. 0 is cold, 30 is hot. Not a difficult concept.

Intuition is entirely based on familiarity.

They'll have to have the cannon custom made.
