  • Water capacity of air drops to about 0.25% around 20F/-6C. That doesn't take weeks, it's ideal gas law. Something about that difference between the 0.45%(ish) at 0C/32F is really impactful. That's absolute humidity, not relative btw. Relative humidity is weather dependent.

    In any case, there's bound to be a lot of other factors such as calorie intake, behavioral changes like exercise, and biases such as the types of activities being done in cold vs hot or the indoors temperature that impact things. The body does tend to find a stasis if it can and that adjustment does occur to some extent. More or less for any given individual. Maybe i made my previous statements too general.

  • Yeah like i said, -6 to about 10C is bad cold due to humidity. But after a few weeks of daily outside temps below zero i adjust. Colorado was even crazier when I was there. Needed thick socks and snowboots but otherwise the sun was still so warming I'd break a sweat walking with a jacket on.

  • Fair. This one usually pertains to lower risk decisions tbh. Stuff like what to have for dinner or how to spend the day off. And specifically when you otherwise wouldn't have a preference. But quite often doing nothing is the greater risk in high stakes situations too. In any case, better to have your ice cream even if it's not your favorite flavor, than none at all. That is, as long as you're actually going to eat it.

  • Sorry i was /s, the entire imperial system is now defined through the metric system standards. For example, 1in is defined as EXACTLY 2.54cm. Fahrenheit is defined as EXACTLY 5/9⁠(x +459.67) [K] or 5/9(x-32) [C].

  • If you don't know what you want, make a choice instead of just waiting. If it's not the right one, change your mind. It's always ok to change your mind. Sitting in stasis means the ice cream shop closes before you ordered and now you don't get any.

  • Once you're below -6C or so you just need more insulation. -6C to 10C in many ways can be harder to manage due to humidity, especially in wet conditions. My prolonged exposure experience is only down to -30C. I did not have enough insulation, but an extra base layer, better gloves/boots would have been sufficient. I was fine with fairly light clothing down to -18C. I hear -50C is where it starts to get really harsh again.

    Your body also adjusts a lot. In the Summer in wearing a puffy indoors at 10C(50F) but in the winter I'll go out in a t-shirt at -10C, especially if doing manual labor.

  • Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

    If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

    There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

  • After getting used to KDE I still need to use windows for work. People think big companies iron out all the bugs but they really don't. We're just so used to our default OS that we don't notice the bugs we deal with every single session.

    Windows has tons of buggy base functionality but users just work around it. KDE's base functionality is actually quite solid by comparison. You only run into issues with more technical compositor stuff that an average user would probably not interact with.

  • Ehh there's not much difference between -6 and-18 you can get warm by doing whatever activity. Somehow -3 to +3 is the hardest to stay warm in. Too much moisture in the air. Below-18 is where the dry cold starts to be tough.

  • Microsoft has features, not bugs.

    Really though, I've had less issues running KDE than Win11 by a longshot. The drivers have also just worked for all my hardware. My Win11 can't figure out Bluetooth.

  • True. Most people wouldn't know how to install windows. They use it because it's preinstalled and works. It's a lot of risk for the average user to attempt an install from media even if it's well guided. There's also the roadblock of having media for local backup and the migration of personal data to cloud obfuscating the access to the data even further.

    It's hard enough to get professionals to rtfm.
