Mother told him to forgive and forget, and Mikey always does what mother says.

I really like 'Unsinkable II'. It's got layers.

I don't know about you but I'm in the top 49%. Just a couple more loot boxes and pay-to-win character enhancements and I'm probably gonna crack top 45%!

You could try Grayjay. I haven't tried watching Twitch through it and that source is in beta, but the app is great overall

Hey I've got my eye on a nice volcanic lair and the mayhem isn't going to wreak itself, people! Some of us are looking for quantum computing sooner, not later..

Seeing as how there were numerous Trump supporters already in office and supporting the insurrectionists before and during Jan. 6, this isn't all that surprising.

Given that we still don't have enough people in Congress willing to go against Cheeto Mussolini's wishes, it's also unsurprising that nothing has been done about it yet. Disappointing, but unsurprising.

The best dry humor is that which the audience has to assume is meant to be funny, because the alternative is that it's just the sad reality..

I was going to make a silly comment about her crying during sentencing and saying something like, "b-b-but I'm white!"

Then I read Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native

and thought, ahh the jail time makes sense now.

Just imagine if they hadn't taken this approach. We might be paying for services and still not getting any privacy.

Maybe God doesn't like this abomination? Isn't that the take-away religious folk make whenever mother nature does what mother nature does?

While I agree with the principle of this, I can't help but project to a future where the MAGAts are storming every state house and voting precinct..

You're a weird dude. Go find something to do that makes you happy. Whatever you've got now isn't working.

I kind of laughed when I read this - it would be really awkward if they weren't both teachers.

Abby: "Good morning class, today we're going around the room to talk about what we did over break."

Brittany: "Stupid little shits, I wanted to be a pilot! We could have taken turns sleeping and been a dynamic duo for international travel 😢 "

My original point was that Fahrenheit is more useful as a gauge of human comfort temperature.

But now you've made my other point that there is a not-insignificant number of people, like you, who's identity is so wrapped up in the perceived superiority of all things metric that you get your panties in a twist at the slightest challenge. It's honestly funny.

I mean, look at you for example. You voluntarily joined a conversation to go off on an unhinged rant and call me names. Just take a moment to think about your life and the choices you've made to bring you to this point where you lose your shit over a unit of measure.

I'd just say 52, but keep raging.

And base 3 sometimes (yards). When taught well, there's a ton of value in learning to quantify the world in a variety of base systems.

Not uniquely American, but thinking in base 7 (weeks), base 12 (years, hours, feet), base 60 (minutes), base 3 (yards), base 10 (the default unless told otherwise), etc. really helps you adapt and estimate a number of other, unrelated, things.

There is another! Woo hoo!

It's kind of telling (and hilarious to me) how many comments I was able to spawn just by saying, "I like Fahrenheit better". People using Celsius for daily, is-it-comfy-for-a-human use absolutely lose their shit if you challenge them.

We all subjectively are more used to our scales

Definitely agree. We're comfortable with what we grew up with and there's nothing wrong with that.

For water, however, freezing pretty bang on zero ... Which I'd argue is an objective benefit over Fahrenheit for weather.

Ehhh, only if you have to think of freezing as zero. For us Fahrenheiters, "above 0" is cold but manageable with a coat. "below 0" means don't go outside unless you have to. That's a pretty convenient gauge to me.

Negative? Freezing. Looks great on a graph

Of course. If you're plotting shit on a graph then you're likely doing lab work, and I'll agree that celsius is a great scale. Not for daily "how's the weather" use though.

Go figure. I guess the hotels I stay at don't exist then. Thanks for the info.

Dude you just did it, "low 60s".

???

You do know that low 60s is not a 10 degree span, right? Right??

I'm beginning to see why some of you can't handle Fahrenheit units of measure...

ETA: Sure, I might say something like "upper 70s for the high" if I don't have any better Idea but, again that is not a 10 degree span of temperature units. Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me you understand that basic premise of communication?!
