Here's some sunset

Tomorrow is my last day of isolation. Yay!

@cleoqc

Thank you!

@Sphinx Get well soon my friend!

@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 my device result is F...

@Sphinx Lol. Okay, it's about 37,3C, that's not too bad actually.

@trinsec Thank you sir, you're the best!

@Sphinx

Get well soon.

Also, make sure everyone wears a #respirator and not just a cloth mask because the virus is airborne now and the cloth masks don't work so well.

@trinsec

@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 You poor deluded soul... ;)

@Sphinx

@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.😂

@johnabs @barefootstache @Sphinx

Let us put you to 100 degrees...

CELSIUS THAT IS!!

;)

@trinsec @barefootstache @Sphinx AAAH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE (literally, I'll die at that temp)

@johnabs @trinsec @Sphinx
Let's make a different scale, where 100% is your perfect comfort temperature and base everything off of that.

Relative comparisons might be more practical than absolute ones.

@Sphinx I hope you feel better soon. If it helps, all the people I know who have gotten COVID recently report mild symptoms, likely due to the vaccines; so hopefully it passes soon. Try to stay in bed and keep very hydrated and feel better!

@Sphinx stop the fear

@micmac yes sir

@Sphinx I tested positive back in February. Lucky I only got a light fever a couple of days and a little bit of sore throat too. But my taste and smell got really f***ed up. All food smelled and tasted like hydrochloric acid and it lasted until first week of April. Take care and hope you get well soon!

@LittleTimmy @Sphinx i keep my mask on at school in Madrid even though most teachers don’t wear them anymore

@faticake @Sphinx yeah, same happens here (Murcia). Almost any classmates wear mask anymore, just the teachers, and some of them wear double masks. I still keep it on, don’t feel that safe yet

@Sphinx that implies you're out of bed...
.

@cleoqc same room...

@Sphinx that implies you have a great view from your room! Lucky!

@cleoqc yes the view is good

I feel better today my throat seems didn't hurt any more, right now waiting for the in person test result come out, this situation required a lot of pacient

I have to stay at home 5 days before back to work it going to be bored me to death 😂

@Sphinx time to learn new skills if you're well enough!

@Sphinx I can't wait to leave either, it feels like our cycles are in sync...

@barefootstache

wait, you test positive too?

@Sphinx yes

@Sphinx
Did you test fo Covid?

@Sphinx
Get paxlovid as soon as possible.
Good Luck

@faticake Thank you I hope so too!
