That isn’t consistent with K and C though. -K doesn’t exist. And water doesn’t become more frozen at -C (well I guess it technically becomes different kinds of frozen).
Zero in that sense represents the absolute limit that one could exist in a particular state, which for F would be comfort? I guess the issue with humans is that 0 would be very subjective. But I think for almost all humans, the limit would be closer to 40F than 0F.
Since when are green tomatoes toxic? I eat fried green tomatoes every summer…
It would probably be Ramaswamy. He’s ahead of DeSantis in many polls and essentially believes everything Trump does. Plus he has way more charisma than DeSantis.
For there to be actual competition the moderates would need to drop any remaining DeSantis support (which probably isn’t much) and unite under Haley (preferably) or Pence/Christie. Haley has been gaining some traction in NH so it could be possible but probably unlikely. Trump will more than likely run away with the nomination.
This is why accessibility features excite me. In addition to helping people with disabilities now, I foresee a future where I will be needing them in the nursing home.
Because I don’t think people like Woj are ever coming to Mastodon. I use Mastodon, but it is largely tech people.
You’re being downvoted but this is very true. And Twitter has sometimes made it difficult to see those Tweets when you don’t have an account.
A number of sports journalists have joined Threads though. I don’t care for Meta, but I’m still rooting for Threads as an alternative to Twitter so there would be a less scummy way to get sports updates.
Because your comment suggests that heat pumps can’t work in Canada. It’s like an American dismissing heat pumps because Alaska is part of the US. For at least 70% (if not more like 90%) of Canadians, heat pumps work just fine. Obviously, if you are in the part of Canada that gets consistently below -40 degrees, don’t get a heat pump.
Also, I’m not from Toronto or Canadian so I’m not sure all that talk about elitism applies to me. I’m from a small city in the US where I experience weather similar to most Canadians.
Which would account for 5-10% of the Canadian population. Just the three metros I mentioned would account for 35% of Canadians. The record low for the coldest of those cities (Montreal) is -36F, but the average low in January is 7F.
70% of Canadians live south of the 49th parallel (the northernmost point of the Continental US) and 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.
Tbf, most Canadians don’t live in those areas. Places like Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver rarely get that cold.
Also water. If you eat a bunch of fiber without water… believe it or not, also constipation.
I watched the video with the kid, his mom, and the administrator. I’ll totally defend the boys right to wear the patch, but he really looked like an annoying little twat.
However, even more annoying was the incompetent admin from that video.
I really wish there was a campaign to take back the flag before it goes the way of the swastika. Although, Gadsen himself was a terrible racist and heavily involved in the slave trade, so might be tough to claim the flag with his name attached to it.
I need this premise expanded into a book or movie.
For that to even remotely be an issue there would need to be millions of moon landings. If we reach that point we could probably easily yeet our fecal waste into deep space if we needed to.
Look up what phenotype means. I’ll help you, it’s the observable characteristics of an individual. The way a person looks can be part of the social construct that defines them as a race.
At the same time, I think it’s a bit more fluid than that. You’ll definitely have individuals who can pass for different ethnic groups. I’m South Indian and I can often pass for North Indian (especially because my name is typically North Indian).
You’re being needlessly pedantic and you’re trying to convince me of something that I already accept: race is a social construct that doesn’t scientifically exist. I know that. However, when I want to talk about Indian people looking more similar to each other than American people it’s kind of hard to simply say that without using race. Under your system I can only refer to every individual ethnic group of India or those of Indian national origin. Neither is what I want to refer to.
Also, since race is a social construct, you are incorrect that Indians must fall under the broader term Asian. They can be considered as Asian when appropriate to the discussion but they can fall under narrower or broader classifications when it is relevant to the discussion.
No, I intentionally used the word race instead of ethnicity. I’m well aware that India is diverse and has thousands of ethnic groups. I used race because many of these groups still share many phenotypical characteristics. In places like America there is more of a physical distinction between people of different races.
So, it’s interesting to me that humans can find ways to discriminate even when they look similar (or at least more similar than some other countries). This is probably not even unique to India. I’m sure other racially homogeneous nations experience similar types of discrimination that isn’t obvious to outsiders.
I like that Fahrenheit has a narrower range for degrees. 1C is 1.8 degrees F. So, F allows you to have more precision without the use of decimals. Like, 71F feels noticeably different to me than 64F, but that is only a 3.8 degree difference in C.
