Topic	Poll: The US should change from Fahrenheit to Celsius Y/N
Zeus 07/03/18 11:04:16 AM #11:	ParanoidObsessive posted... Fahrenheit is far better for measuring human tolerances to temperature. Celsius is better for science, but in my daily life, I don't really give much of a shit about science. I'd argue the same is true for the Imperial/Standard system versus Metric in general - Metric is better for general conversion, sharing data, and scientific discussion, but it's less useful for general life, because Standard measures actually evolved out of real life applications, whereas Metric was a more artificial creation. This, tbh. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:904415921] in Poll: The ...
