The first rule of jury nullification is that we don’t talk about jury nullification.

It’s not a headrest. It’s whiplash protection.

Yes, I thought I was very clear that I was explaining my rationalization for why Fahrenheit is my preferred arbitrary system for a specific use case. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and centered around human existence. Celsius is also arbitrary and centered around the phase changes of water. I made no mention of season because again, that is totally arbitrary, not universal, and depends wholly on geography. The only temperature scale that even gets close to trying to not be arbitrary is Kelvin, but I don’t see you bullying for it’s everyday use.

Because of its scale, Fahrenheit works better for describing the temperature as it relates to people and how comfortable or dangerous it is. Celsius obviously works better for science and engineering. Both systems are arbitrary and either will work once your used to them obviously. Fahrenheit is anthrocentric. Celsius is centered around the phase changes of water at a standard (arbitrary) pressure. The only temperature scale that approaches universality and attempts to not be arbitrary is the Kelvin.

Fahrenheit is my preferred scale when dealing with weather and heating/cooling my home because with Fahrenheit, you can describe almost the entire range of normal human experience from freezing to death to burning to death with (almost always) only two digits and no sign change. If you see an extra digit or a negative sign on the Fahrenheit scale you know shit just got real. And as for the numbers in between 0-100, you can conceptualize them as a simple decimal range like we do for lots of other statistical things like movie ratings, school/exam grading brackets, political polls on TV, percentages, etc.

Also, it’s older than Rock and Roll. It’s from a time when big sound meant more band members, but the current music ecomony doesn’t seem well suited to supporting acts with lots of members. I long for asignificant fourth wave ska revival.

Duckduckgo is basically just bing results. But, I still use it for the bangs and lessened tracking. Being able to search any engine from the same search bar is remarkably convenient.

It’s not arbitrary just because you don’t understand the how and why of it. The expression could certainly be written more clearly, but that’s an entirely separate matter.

I understand that people are scared of “new” math, but for a 1989 birthday just take the last too digits of the current year, add ten, then add one if you’ve already had a birthday this year, e.g. 23+10+1=34. Almost the same math I used to count change when I worked retail.

I’m an android user that’s been messaging and calling over the internet using the default messaging and calling apps for years. What you’re describing isn’t an android limitation, it’s a vendor comparability and standards issue. And I’ve had just as many problems with iphone users breaking my group texts among android using groups. The fact is that sms on iPhone is broken by design, but because you’re all broken in the same way you won’t see it.

Why bother locking the door if you’re going to leave copies of the keys all over town? I guess on the upside you’re still protected from people without physical access to you. Maybe I have trust issues.
