It would be useful because it gives multiple specific and relatable reference points. How is that not useful?

The way humans relate to the temperature has a huge range and so very vague. Do you say that 0 is when you swap shorts for trousers? Or when you put a hoody on? Or is it when your neighbour puts their hoody on? Or when your friend from Texas puts their hoody on?

It’s like when you come across a recipe that calls for a knob of butter. Everyone’s knob is a different size, we’ve just agreed to say that whatever it is, it’s enough.

I love that the best way to fix cast iron is to cook bacon.

Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a ‘kit’ form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There’s a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

• What out of the box functionality are you missing? As for search, from context I’m going to assume you are not being sarcastic. Windows search has to be the single worst search I’ve ever fucking encountered. Say I made a picture of a bird. I called it bird.jpg, and saved it in my pictures folder. Now, I type ‘bird’ into explorer search, and it gives me a fucking DLL FILE called matrixRRT.dll. I waited literal minutes for this? Literally the advice on all over the internet for making windows search better is to use something else instead.

*Agreed, window snapping is better in Windows.

*It’s been a hot minute since I used anything other than Expose to choose which window I want (Which is great, btw) but don’t you just click and hold on the dock icon?

*Agreed, more troubleshooting on startup would be handy. But to be fair, I’ve had way more startup issues with my windows box than my Mac. In fact, the last Mac startup issue I think I had would have been about six years ago. Whereas I’ve probably had six in the last year alone on the Windows machine. Sample size of one, of course. shrug

*Have you met my good friend, the command line?

Are you saying you couldn’t get the home folder to open? Or you couldn’t locate the folder?

Isn’t it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the ‘go’ menu and select ‘home’?

It’s just a matter of what you’re used to.

It’ll also need AI.

If only there was something more specific that a wider range of people could relate to.

One of those things is more specific than the other.

How does that make it better?

Does ammonium chloride brine not freeze at different pressures?

Why does it have to be based on weather? There’s plenty of other reasons to measure temperature. Some with handy reference points that lots of people are familiar with.

Wait, he chose 96, or he measured it?

Well if you’re going to bring precautions into it, we may as well say the upper and lower bounds should include things like ‘feels hot even with air conditioning on’ or ‘survivable with a heated jacket and boots’.

Imperial is defined by the metric system anyway.

Rather than say people are using imperial, I just say they are using metric with some extra complications thrown in.

I don’t think I can tell the difference if something is only one degree apart in Celcius, let alone Fahrenheit.

Comparing an 18C day to a 19C day, for example, I challenge anyone to notice a difference. A 64F to 65F day? Good luck.

I agree with the Celsius scale making sense around zero. Water freezing is probably one of the most relatable, quantifiable examples of a temperature point for the most humans. However, lots of people don’t live somewhere that it snows, or even own a freezer.

So what’s the most common touch point for people? I’d go with water boiling. I can’t really think of what sort of person who did not have exposure to that at some point. That should be the zero point, the common denominator.

Should I not be cooking anything tomato based with my cast iron?

This isn’t so much a vision for the future, as it’s an option right now.

I can’t wait until work puts in car chargers- Top off the battery for free during the day, come home and sell that juice back to the grid, baby!

It may or may not be a string.
