its 60 degrees and the fucking AC is on in this classroom
[QUOTE=catbarf;43067215]I'm starting to think that our shunting any and all questions and issues into relevant megathreads rather than leaving them as discrete threads on specific topics is devaluing this forum as an accessible community resource. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
it is and just makes us look like up right dicks who care more about keeping our forum proper (which it never will be) than actually helping people who really need to be informed
[QUOTE=Mbbird;43067790]its 60 degrees and the fucking AC is on in this classroom[/QUOTE]
if it was 60 here I'd have the AC on too
60°F I'm assuming
And here I was, thinking Cali winter is warm instead of being chilly

Thank you very much
someone want to put a santa hat on my avatar too please? C:
put one on the butt cheek
I posted a thread for this in GD but since I feel many of you don't visit that section very often, I will post it here as well
We are running a survey to justify our engineering project and the more responses we get the better. Only 10 questions long and you should be able to breeze right through it.

I purposely avoided text boxes since last time an engineering student added textboxes to a survery posted on FP there were some "interesting" responses.
thanks fellow ifap'ers!

It's entirely random. The ocean regulates the temperature for the globe on the large scale, and throws curveballs at coast cities on the small scale.
It'd be cool if someone added a santa hat to mine
[QUOTE=Apache249;43061250]Took the ASVAB today. We managed to stretch it to four hours by having a post-test Q&A session with the recruiter who was there to assist the proctor.[/QUOTE]
I took mine today, pretty easy test to my surprise
the online sample tests are considerably more difficult
I want a santa hat on the dong in mine :v:
And/or as replacement for his pirate hat
wait what part of the US uses celcius, like really. I mean I'm a weirdo and I use meters, kilometers, kilograms, metric tons, etc etc, but I've never met someone to EVER use celcius here
fahrenheit is maybe the only american measurement system that I actually like.
i bought a leather jacket so i can look like a tool in my photoshoots.

Fahrenheit doesn't make sense to me. Like, for example:
Water, it freezes at 0C and boils at 100C, what sense says it should be freezing at 32F and boiling at 212F :v:
I believe america and only two other countries still refuse to use the metric system despite how much more sense it makes, how logical the units are and just how universally accepted it is. Having 100 mili somethings in 1 centi something and 100 centi etc. etc. makes more sense than going hey 7 yards in a mile 3 miles in a furlong 5 furlongs in a whatsimajik and 13.2 pounds in a stone and 5 stone in a rock and all that jazz.
Ditto for fahrenheit but that mostly comes down to personal preference I've found, but centigrade does make more sense and is the industry standard temperature for the most part like foos said.
what the shit is a furlong?

I always though Fahrenheit was better for day to day use because 0-100 is basically the normal living range of humans and its important. In Celsius, theres a huge gap between 45 and 100 where non if it matters. Also since Fahrenheit is on a smaller scale, the differences between degrees are less and more precise, as opposed to Celsius. imho Celsius is important when you are actually boiling and freezing things in relation to water, like science n shit, but for just day to day living, looking at air temperature and setting a thermostat and stuff like that, Fahrenheit wins out.
imperial measurements are bullshit though and make no sense at all (though to be fair we dont use furlongs or stones or rocks you british fucks.)

Fun Fact: Fahrenheit was born in Gdansk, the city I live in.
Yet, I don't think that Poland has ever used Fahrenheit scale.

haha nobody in the right mind would defend the customary system of measurement, but people often defend Fahrenheit in particular because it gives you twice as much precision for [I]day to day use[/I]. The specifics aren't needed there.
I'm honestly used to celcius, but then mebbe because I visit relatives in Japland during the summer and I always watch the daily news to figure out how hot it'll be
(36°C-42°C)
Also I tend to use the thermometer in °C to sde if I have a fever or not :E
[QUOTE=gashol;43081897]Any laboratory will use Kelvin.[/QUOTE]
We do use celsius a fair amount of the time of the time as the majority of equipment is rated to use it and withstand certain amounts of that particular unit as opposed to Kelvin. It's just not practical unless you're dealing with some extreme temperatures or large scale experiments. It's really a standard if you're a chemist involved in regular experiments involving gasses, extremely hot/cold chemical reactions as it's the only scale that's not relative and can give you the absolute zero.

Infact every single one of our freezers, refrigerators, ovens, microwave ovens and vacuum ovens are all operated in celcius..

Ski blades: because you didn't know you could have this much fun looking this retarded
No seriously, they are a blast and super easy to pick up for beginners. From what I've heard they are a good intro too as they teach you how to turn and get a proper sense of balance, so transitioning to full skis isn't a nightmare.
I however want quite badly to powder ski, go faster, and have the opportunity to not die in crud (the chewed up snow caused by heavy traffic, causes horrifying turbulence and chattering in blades) :v:
Haha I was driving to work and saw these three black girls at a bus stop doing the slav squat and was like lolwut
