Seems to me that it does in fact mean that that excuse for gun proliferation is pretty useless.

Pure nonsense. "The left" as a whole did no such thing. You are mistaking some vocal individuals with an entire group of people.

In Denmark as well. The entire European heatwave of this summer seems to have stopped right at the border to Germany curiously enough.

Cryptobros are a bunch of whiners.

110 = really fucking hot

-10 = really fucking cold.

Yeah, really useful scale.

It is useful because you are used to it, it has no inherent better qualities over any other scale.

US scientists are a very tiny minority of Americans, and getting tinier day by day.

Also they always forget that on modern digital thermometers, we have decimals, which means that the F scale doesn't really have a wider range to describe common outside air temperature at all.

Why are you insisting on integers? Why are you scared of decimals? They are perfectly easy to use and provides a much wider range of scale than your arbitrary 0-100 scale does.

He literally designed the scale around common temperatures.

Common temperatures in some places. And also just because it is scaled this way doesn't mean it is better. It serves the exact same purpose as any other way to measure temperature.

It is demonstrably not. You are more familiar with it, and you loathe decimals, so you are of the personal opinion that it is. But that is all it is, your personal opinion about it.

It is pretty insane to use 2% of global energy for that piece of shit technology, almost exclusive developed only to give more billions to billionaires and nothing else, at a time when we desperately need to minimise energy consumption.
