Technically all arbitrary, but Fahrenheit is definitely on a whole different level of arbitrary.

Celsius - 0 = precise freezing point of water and 100 = precise boiling point

Kelvin - same as C, but shifted so 0 is the precise lowest possible temperature

Fahrenheit - 0 is the imprecise freezing point of some random brine mixture, 100 is the imprecise average body temperature of the developer

So why not make the temperature go to the hottest? Let me guess, 0 isn't the coldest either in America, right? It's just so arbitrary, and pure cope to say it's the best way to describe temperature.

Thank God the government is here to protect us from dangerous people like this man. /s

Thank you. That argument bugs the heck out of me.

These anti piracy commercials have gotten really mean.

This is like the opposite experience I had. Everyone said capitalism is bad and I get down voted to die if I say I disagree.

It's a little different than that, isn't it? More like: " look at what I built, here's a step by step guide that makes it work. Do with it whatever you want." Some people want to use it for their job. Others might use it for personal use, or to build more open source projects.

No camden tablets for sterilization?

Printers go brrrr

I think it's more due "corporatism", where government and certain privileged large corporations work together to enrich themselves at the sake of others. Technically not really capitalism, which is just a system of trade which uses capital rather than barter to facilitate trade. It's important to be clear on these things if we want to fix problems.

People in China don't have a good stock market to invest in to "diversify". They also don't have good government programs like social security. The only investments are houses, shops, or your kids. If you chose houses and the market crashes and your kid can't help, you're screwed and will likely end up on the street.

Shut down their access to computer stores and the power companies while you're at it. Only fair. No piracy without computers or power.

I use it and find it works just fine.

What's wrong with freecad?

People just can't imagine this treatment ever happening to themselves.

2 billion social security numbers? What's the population of the US?

I've got some wheels on my car still. I think my furnace uses fire when it turns on.

Not surprised. Like chromecast audio, chromecast couldn't really serve an adequate amount of ads. Basically it's only value was it forced you to use stock youtube app to stream preventing any adblocking, but if you cast your screen, then it can't stop adblocks, so it makes sense to discontinue this product. There's some open source projects out there that might be worth looking into, NymphCast is one I saw, uses a rasberry pi.

I don't support piracy of Adobe, because you're still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.

Strongest? You mean only
