Knowing nothing?! I think Fahrenheit clearly wins as it's normalized against your own perception and experiences. If you ever have direct contact with 100C, it will be less pleasant than 100F.

But my point was that both systems have their uses and I just code switch between them depending on the task. But if you have to have only one, it should be Celsius. I won't disagree with that.

Use the right tool for the right job. Fahrenheit helps plan your day, with weather or pool temperatures or whatever. Celsius is for science and engineering. This argument sounds a little like driving a nail with a torque wrench.

I can ballpark C to F. But pressure is never going to happen. Like what's 30psi? 547000 Pa or something? Who the fuck knows. Or you could use bar, with a scale of 1 to 5, lol.

Florida's MAGA magnetism is a net positive for the rest of the country. They're effectively gerrymandering themselves by packing into one voting area. Even if they gain EC votes, other areas of the country will be relatively more Blue and as Florida policies Brownback their quality of life, it'll only help the Dems win votes.

Those aren't the stereotypes that comes to mind for the worst Florida has to offer. More like old retired Boomers and upper middle class culture warriors who thought DeSantis' Covid denial was a great idea. But I didn't take a census or anything.

I'm obviously a fan of LE but a simple self-hosted option with a custom CA would be great for local machines:

  • I don't want every Raspberry Pi/laptop/temp VM/whatever published into the cert transparency record
  • Configuring the router to forward every local hostname to the machine's .well-known would be awful (if my ISP even allowed port 80)
  • Exposing local machines to the Internet is an unnecessary degradation of security

Trump is a narcissist who cares about image and the cheers of crowds. If pardoning J6 traitors gets him that, he will do it.

Gotta disagree. MS Paint is so blisteringly straightforward for how to use it. Google pointed me towards Preview but there was no menu option to create a new image from the clipboard contents. And then for editing, there was no easy to use tooltray that gives you everything you need right from the start. You could crop and such by going to through menu but you could feel the app hating you for trying to use it that way.

What's the MacBook equivalent of MS Paint? Open it, paste from clipboard, and then do a simple crop/edit? I was looking to do this the other day and nothing seemed to work.

I don't think Macs are as batteries included as some people think.

E-scooters are multimodal friendly and can do a mile without a lot of fuss.

City Beautiful also has a good video on the shitshow that is I-35. TX DOT must have a little shrine to Robert Moses in their lobby.

People moved there because anything inside 128 costs a million dollars. I have friends with pretty good jobs who can't hope to afford to live closer to Boston. MA has their "MBTA Communities" upzoning push but it doesn't go far enough, IMO. We need to eliminate single family zoning entirely.
