Why no Rankine?

[–] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does anyone use rankine outside of university?

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No. You use Kelvin in everyday life?

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm an engineer so actually yes. I prefer a unit system that doesn't require magic constants to be functional.

You should flex in the Celsius people like the metric people enjoy doing to the imperialists. Lol

[–] kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We used Kelvin for some stuff when I was an intern in a lab

Lounging along the main diagonal. Very satisfying

I feel like 295C is a little more than catching on fire, maybe a little melting ontop of the initial fire.

[–] Sualtam@lemmus.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's actually far below a candle flame of ca. 1000°C.

It would be a cool flame from burning higher alcohols.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I realized after doing the conversion to Fahrenheit it wasn't as high as I thought. Lol

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why 69 specifically though?

[–] CyroSignal@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Our temperature is so unpredictable lol.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

21c is pretty chilly though.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I also feel that 68° F is still jacket territory.

Yeah this is a bit too cool to be laying out in a hammock.

Unless you are in direct sun. Which would be terrible anyway. (Temperature measurements are taken in the shade for this reason.)

[–] deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

68 in the humidity is fucking hot. Like swim in the Mississippi hot

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am from a very humid place in parts of the year and I still disagree.

[–] deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’m talking Midwest in July August, summer nights being 68-70 and still so sweaty 😭 but like right now 68 is hoodie weather I agree

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

21C is too warm to keep a house at, so it can't be too chilly
