  • Maybe one of his sons would take over? It's hard to imagine the MAGA crew moving on. Even people Trump explicitly endorses don't always seem to get their full support...

    Eh, they'll probably just call the obituary 'fake news' and try to elect his corpse into office.

  • So humans feel cold at 0F and hot at 100F?

    In aggregate this is absolutely true, though not the point anyone is making.

    Humans start quickly dying at something around 32F and 180F

    Humans will die of dehydration or heat stroke quite quickly at temperatures well below 180F. In fact that's far hotter than the hottest recorded temp on Earth (~135F/56.7C) (not including human-made environs like a sauna or outliers like an active volcano) so I'm frankly not sure what point your even trying to make here.

    Fahrenheit is complete nonsense. It has nothing to do with humans.

    The latter statement is manifestly false. Fahrenheit was originally supposed to have 90 degrees as the average humans body temp (no clue why 90 and not 100). Due to inaccuracies in measurements of the time, It was later changed to 96 and then 98.7. Still no clue why not just 100, but the fact remains it was based on human body temps. The zero point was selected using the freezing point of a brine mixture. No real defending that one, it was pretty much arbitrary.

    And considering humans are mostly water Celsius seems a much better fit.

    But we aren't just water. In any case, humans are rarely at boiling temperature. My ideal temp scale would have 0 at water's freezing point and 100 at a humans body temp.

  • 100 F is roughly a human's body temp. (Actually 98.7 avg, but close anyway)

    0 F is goddam cold. (This one's pretty arbitrary ngl)

    That probably isn't very helpful.

    Fwiw, Celsius isn't much better if you didn't grow up with it. 0 C is pretty cold, 100 C can give you severe scalds. The actual range the people will encounter in weather in their day-to-day lives is all over the place regardless.

    Perhaps we are destined to stay divided

  • Several criminal prosecutions, a fubar civil trial, a sketchy Presidential bid, likely out of money, is one of the most hated (and simultaneously beloved) people in human history, and he's looking down the barrel of turning 80 in a couple years...

    He's not gonna get any saner, folks

  • Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I'm also playing through control again now.

    I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn't cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.

  • If the light hits the ground and is scattered then nearly all of the energy stays in the planet and eventually heats the atmosphere. If it's reflected, even though it must pass through the atmosphere again, some of the energy is rejected back into space.

  • If the top of my head

    • it cools your house in the winter, too
    • It's probably annoyingly bright if you can see the roof from ground level
    • likely to degrade over time necessitating replacing tiles to maintain the effect
    • Doesn't work as well if you've got solar panels or trees obstructing it
    • other stuff, probably
  • It's an excuse for me and some buddies to get drunk and yell at Geoff keighly for a couple hours.

    I put very little stock in them as a true reflection of quality in the industry, though it's occasionally nice to see Indies and smaller devs get some recognition.
