Iโm slowly trying to convert myself to metric. Temperature is a hard one for me because itโs so ingrained in my psyche.
Length is easier. 440mm is much easier than 17 21/64 in. Plus all the CAD software I use is easy to switch to metric. Weight isnโt hard either since most of the maker things I use (filament/resin) are in metric. My doctorโs office even weighs me in kg thinking they can sneak it by me. I know what 92.4kg is you cheeky bastards.
I am the same way. For me I just memorized 2 C to F conversions and work it as a relativity from there. 22C is about 72F, the perfect inside temp to me. Then because I live in a hot place my other anchor is 40C being 104F. To me that is the threshold going from "fuck this is hot" to "shitty hot, avoid outside".
I would recommend just memorizing some key anchor points that are normal for your climate and learning from those.
Thatโs a very good idea. I may start doing that. I should convert my home thermostat but Iโm pretty sure my wife would balk at it being set to โso coldโ (23ยฐC or so)
