I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

I like how this directly goes against the argument of Fahrenheit being more “graded” with integers lol

But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.

Well, the freezing point of water is very relevant for weather. If I see that the forecast is -1 degC when it was positive before, I know I will have to watch out for ice on roads.

And the boiling point as the other reference point makes complete sense.

Some countries already use it officially too :)

About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that’s about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.

Except that many Android phones also don’t have replaceable batteries anymore.

No worries, and glad you learnt something!

I don’t know whether this is a joke or not (Poe’s law and all), so I will assume this is a genuine question:

Because they were about to say Czechoslovakia, I’d assume. The country that hasn’t existed anymore for a long time.

edit: grammar fix

Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

“Converting” joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

I don’t see how your example is ‘funny’. That’s what you expect to get. -5² is -25. (-5)² = 25.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.
