I teach you.
Below zero: freezing cold!
Above zero, below 10: cold, very cold, but not freezing.
between 10 and 15: cold...ish, long sleeves and layers.
15-20: depends on the person... most still require long sleeves, one layer. Some can venture into short sleeves.
20-25: warm... spring-time.
25-30: very warm - short sleeves, or AC.
30-35: hot - go to the beach!
35-40: too hot, stay in bed with a slave waving a huge feather thing.. ooops... AC on!
40+: you're in the desert.

Do not like. Tongue

Don't get me wrong, I understand Celsius just fine, I just don't prefer it.

The portion of the Fahrenheit scale between zero and 100 is with the range of typical human experience and it's very easy to know what your comfort level level is.

Celsius is far more useful in the sciences but for everyday use Fahrenheit is better - for me, which is obviously subjective and based on familiarity as much as anything else. Yeah it's arbitrary. It also happens to be sensible, unlike our brain damaged standard for length, volume, and weight.

yeah... it all comes down to familiarity...
I grew up with the Celcius scale, so it make total sense to me. The Fahrenheit scale is completely weird and counter-intuitive.




Portugal scores!
1-0

Took one of the kids to the rollerskating rink. Wanted to try out her inline skates while she skated in my roller skates and I managed to fall hard enough I bruised both my wrists and palms of my hands. I'm not allowed to take any pain meds and tylenol doesn't do squat for me. Hoping this clears up as I have school tomorrow night.
