For uncultured Americans like me, -10° C is +14°F, a temperature regularly seen in winters in the northern 1/4 of the US.
The only C/F temperatures I ever remember are that -40 are the same, 100 is 212 and anything above 32 is too fucking hot.
22-24 is comfortable room temp (71.6-75.2⁰F)
37 is body temperature (98.6)
40 is a bad fever that might kill you (104⁰F)
To quickly convert, take Celsius and double it and add 30. For human scale temps you'll be a few degrees off at most. Not so much for deciding what temp to smelt your steel at though.
F->C subtract 30 and then halve the result.
130F -> 100 -> 50ish (54.4C)
Where I live -10⁰C is nice and warm for half the year. -20⁰C(-4⁰F) to -30⁰C(-22⁰F) is normal most of the winter.
Also neat fact, if the degree symbol comes after the unit, in a metric engineering that means a difference of.
50⁰C - 35⁰C = 15C⁰
Why are all the costs listed in Euros?
Where do you see that? Looks like dollar signs to me.
Huh, I guess it is rendered dynamically, as @BrikoX@lemmy.zip suggests? Strange that it thinks I'm in Europe...
Site probably uses library to dynamically convert currency based on your IP.
TIL Canadian IP addresses are in the EU...
Jesus christ, the amount of trackers that site wants you to agree to.
