Test positive for covid

F**k

Keep the mask on everyone!

Right now just throat hurt temperature 99.1F( I grew up with C, the F one I have no clue, as long as under 100F is good?)

My wife is little panicking now we sleep in different room last night, she test negative so far)

At 10am I have appointment with drive through test, I been told that one is more accurate.

Thank you for those left a comment here, you're the reason that keep me at mastodon (Qoto)

@Sphinx Why didn't you just mention it in C then? There are a lot of people here understanding C! Let the Americans convert!

But really, get well soon, take plenty of rest... Don't stress yourself! Take care!

@trinsec @Sphinx Sphinx, I hope you feel better.

Trinsec, F is superior if you aren't a water molecule, change my mind.

150: dead
100: very hot, still alive
98-75: hot and warmish
70-40: sort of cold/sort of hot depending on other conditions
40-10 coat weather
10-0: very cold, still alive for a little while

Celsius:
100: dead
60: dead
40: deadly fever
36: body temp
20: good weather
10: jacket weather
0: coat weather

I want a temperature system designed around my perceptions, not the rovibrational states of water molecules. Both have their place, bur higher resolution decision making for human needs, F is better IMO.

And this is from an ex-chemist, I used C and Kelvin lots

@johnabs @trinsec @Sphinx
Interesting how you put more emotions into the Fahrenheit system versus Celsius, like defaulting 36C to body temperature without mentioning the equivalent in Fahrenheit.

Wondering how much location has to do with how we flavor a scale. Like when the average temperature is higher in one region over the other.

When someone in the north would consider 16C as t-shirt weather, though you quantifying it as jacket weather.

The idea of revolving temperature around water makes more sense if one lives in a climate that gets snow or has to deal with freezing temperatures. It is easier to remember that water freezes at 0C than the equivalent of 32F. Thus while driving if the sensor is telling you that outside temperature is around 0C, then one could handle effortlessly.

Wondering also how much it has to do with the beauty of a round number, comparing 0 to 32.

@barefootstache @trinsec @Sphinx All I'm saying is that I prefer a higher resolution based on my own perception: e.g. when I set my thermostat to 70F, that's perfect to me and +- one degree isn't a huge deal, but going 70-75 or 70-65 is. Hence, I typically use a jump in ~5 degrees F as a noticeable change in perceived temperature to the point of discomfort in certain clothes, but even 1-2 degrees would be noticeable after a long while in a room. Hence, I don't have to worry about using fractional degrees to determine my exact temperature preference for anything, whole numbers work great.

While there is a linear transformation between the two, C is a lower resolution scale as compared to my perceptions, as one degree in C is roughly 2 in F, and is offset by 1/3rd of the scale of really cold and really hot. Hence, to dial in my preferred temperature, I need it to be 21.3333333 degrees C, and really hot is only 39C. Why am I stuck using only ~40% of the scale from 0-100?

To conclude, I love the metric system for basically everything else: I like cm and mm for woodworking over fractions of an inch. Better resolution and nice round numbers instead of 3/64ths and such. I prefer grams to lbs because factors of 10 are great, and you get higher resolution! But I think using C over F to do nonscientific work is sort of a moot point; we lose the nice rounds numbers the metric system is known for for our daily lives, and get whole number benefit for phase changes of water and that's basically it. Yes I am composed of ~70% water molecules, but that doesn't mean I care how fast they're jiggling relative to their phase transitions! LET ME HAVE MY ROUND NUMBERS AND HIGHER RESOLUTION, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S NORMALLY IN METRIC. I DESERVE THIS.😂
