Um…

I mean all the SI units were redefined last year anyway so why not 🤷‍♂️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_redefinition_of_the_SI_base_units

Also… water is everything. When does rain become sleet and snow? Near zero. When do puddles freeze? Near zero. When do roads become icy? Near zero. C. Always C. What’s “hot” out? To some, 70F is hot. Others, 80. Or 90. Or 100. Subjective.

okay new scale:

0° = freezing point of water
100° = 130°F (approx highest recorded temperature)

Best of both C and F.

Ya I like that better. Fahrenheit for temperature is better.

Metric or Imperial. Which one is better and why? State your case

I dunno though.

0 = jacket
10 = sweater
20 = room temp
30 = hot day

Those are pretty straight forward.

fwiw I was determined to switch to Celsius a few years ago, and actually set all my devices to it. I lasted about 8 months, in a temperature range from 10-36, and concluded that Fahrenheit is more expressive and switched back.

Caleb, usually I agree with you. But this time I have to say “everyone is entitled to their own opinion… unless they’re wrong” 😂 Celsius is logical. 0°C=freezing H2O and 100°C=boiling, vs 32°F/212°F. 0F and 100F mean nothing.

oh no. Celsius is only logical for water and science. For communicating with people about livable temperature ranges Fahrenheit is much more expressive!

Maybe I'm more sensitive to smaller temperature changes, cause for me the difference between 70°F and 80°F is huge, and that's just 21°C-26°C

Also... Celsius.

0° = freezing water
100° = boiling water
20° = room temperature

Such nice, easy numbers to remember.

I'm all for metric for everything except temperature. That 0-100 only works for water. Fahrenheit does better at expressing temperature ranges that humans live in. e.g. "50s" (sweaters), "70s" (comfortable), "90s" (too hot).

If you are presenting content online w/o any audience interaction... you should call that “making a video” and stop doing it live over Zoom. Learn to edit, get a camera, start making something actually watchable.

Talking over text-laden PowerPoint slides was never a good idea.

Our weekly delivery from Imperfect Foods included some fairly below average pears. Tonight, I sliced one up and tossed it into a tumbler of Makers Mark. Now, they’re the best pears in history. 🥃 🍐 🎉

If you find yourself watching reviews of new cameras all the time, but you haven’t bought any lights yet, I have some advice for you:

Buy some lights.

@aaronpk haha we're missing each others points in this discussion. You're frustrated about a specific feature and I'm trying to hint about the liberty part in Free Libre and Open Source software ^^

I guess what I mean is I would rather put my energy into advocating for open standards than open source

Nah, I'm just not really interested in getting into a much smaller community for a hobby that has nothing to do with software. The resources available for Adobe/Davinci/FCPX far outstrip any of the open source apps.
