    the fact that 20-30 points goes from freezing cold to death and destruction and fire is everything that’s wrong with Celsius for weather.

    F for weather C for chemistry K for astronomy

    FCK one unit of measure.

          It’s not supposed to be.

          It’s supposed to be for “not relevant or doesn’t add value to the discussion”.

            You’d think after a decade or so somebody would figure out some system better than upvotes and downvotes that don’t mean what everyone assumes they mean. How about a tooltip to explain?

            Even adding a separate 5-star agreement scale next to the up/down arrows would help so I could like upvote for a good contribution and give one star to say I disagree.

        I enjoy rabble rousing C-freaks. I lived in a Celsius country for 3 years (Hong Kong), each degree is too much, decimals for weather is silly.

        Farenheit is so simple, on a scale of 0-100, how fucking hold/cold is it?

          So what is 0F defined as and what is 100F?

          Can these units be reproduced without variance?

          Absolutely trash system.
