I'm used to temperature being high 70s to high 80s year round for the Fahrenheit folks. Temps beyond that is some sort of its warm, cold or hot action going on.

I could deal with that, I'd miss the snow and ice though.

I prefer cold over warmth. You can put on clothes to reach the ideal body temperature in cold weather, but once you're naked, you can't really get cooler. Can't run around with ice cubes in my pants all day.

You can cool down with a nice beer though. But overall I agree with you for any temperature over 30°C.

I like the weather in the UK, it rarely gets really cold and rarely gets hot, and I can deal with rain.

It's changing, though, we've had snow 3 years in a row now and a heat wave last summer. :/

You suck Horse. Color me jealous... although you end up paying for it with the cost to ship pretty much everything to Hawaii. Don't you guys have to pay like $7 for a box of cereal?

Seriously though, I would love living in a place where 70-85 weather was year round. We get snow occasionally here, and it doesn't usually go below 25 degrees so it doesn't really get that cold here. But I'm a wimp. If it's below 60 degrees I'm cold. Once it gets in the 90's I start getting uncomfortable. I <3 May through September here though, nice and warm!

New Jersey winters are anywhere from 10F-40F (-12.6-4C), not including wind chills. Summer is 80-105F, generally (26.6-40.5)

I'm always way too cold in the Winter, and way too hot in the Summer. I need to move. >:(

And @Maz, yeah--below 32F is freezing.

Our temperature scale is the ONLY thing I like more in the English system than the Metric one. All other measurements make more sense in metric, but not temperature. Well, they make SENSE, but smaller numbers are harder to deal with--I don't want to have to process decimal points to figure out what to wear.

I say we just make a new scale, from 100-0. The numbers are purely relative to how much clothing you should wear. :P At 100%, it's so frickin' cold that will not want to go outside, for any reason. 0 is when you can run naked through town, and no one will care because they are all delirious with heat.

:P

[EDIT]

2 of my friends go to HPU. They get to mock me all year. >:( I'm hoping May is FREEZING so that they suffer as much as possible when home for the summer.

Any of you complaining about weather can go to hell.

I live in Fargo, ND. We literally just took the title for "Worst Weather in America."

Winter is cold as **** with the nastiest wind. Summer is hotter than hell with 90% humidity and enough mosquitos to fly 30 buses.

I've seen 3 blizzards in about one month, one of the blizzards was thundersnowing. I've never even ******* seen thunder and lightning in a snow storm.

You people dont even know...

No one uses decimal points for temperature in Celsius, hell we even omit them when converting to K. Oh, and we just convert to K by adding a bit on. Yeah.


Seriously, though, I think some things are just so close to our culture that they are hard to get rid of. That's temperature, speed measurements (to the point where mph means more to me now than kmh, even though I've not even been here 2 years), and ***** size. Seriously, I know British people who will do everything in metric, but still talk about penises in inches. It's pop culture, or something.

Technically speaking, Celsius isn't metric. Metric scale is based on the distance of one meter.

Quote:
Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole (at sea level), its definition has been periodically refined to reflect growing knowledge of metrology. Since 1983, it is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.


The Celsius scale is based off of water's properties at normal atmospheric pressure.

100 degrees Celsius is water's boiling point.
0 degrees Celsius is water's freezing/melting point.

Makes more sense that negative numbers would display frost. I mean, you still have -1F, right? Rarely used, but it's there. Doesn't make much sense, though, that the temperature turns negative all of a sudden. I get that there's 180 degrees between water's freezing and boiling points on the Fahrenheit scale, but is this a circular scale or what?

Thinking about playing Rift more seriously. I mean, like I used to play WoW. Really a nice game and all. Made a tank and a mage there, pretty solid stuff.
Im getting burned out of WoW, I guess.

The History of Fahrenheit

Apparently it's based off some salt water solution being 0, water freezing at 32, and the human body being 96 (3 x 32).



Edit: Everyone in Rift on this side of the Atlantic should post what shard they're on. I've been messing around on Galena (PvE), Guardian side.

To be fair, Kelvin's the only one that really makes sense. 0 is absolute zero, afterall, and it just goes up from there. We just don't like the idea of the massive numbers.

Celsius is just Kelvin minus 273.15, though. It's the same, but with more convenient numbers for everyday use.

Makes converting a lot easier, too.

Yes, but he gets mad at me when I stick my cold hands or feet next to his warm body to warm up. =x Even when he's cold, he's still warmer than I am, and I don't think he likes it when I try to steal his body heat lol.

My LD bf on the other hand, is like a freaking furnace. So far he hasn't minded me cuddling up to him when I'm cold, but his place has central heat and air so it stays warmer than my house which has a pellet stove for heat and one really old AC wall unit that blows our circuit board if we try and watch a movie with the blu-ray player and the HDTV.

From what I've seen, women tend to get cold a lot easier than men do. I find this odd considering women naturally have a higher body fat percentage so we can have children.

I'm pretty sure the lack of body fat isn't the reason men can't have children.

Almost certain.

Thanks for the link, Digg. He's hilarious.

Yes Maz I'm aware of that. :-p The primary reason we have a higher body fat percentage is because we have children though, which is why I mentioned it. Perhaps I could have worded that better.

Kelvin is for colour temperature, not for other stuff.

It's the same unit of measure >_>
#4823 Apr 05 2011 at 11:44 AM Rating: Good
In fact, colour temperature is a measure based on (wait for it!) temperature.

I didn't even know colors had temperatures to measure. O.o That's pretty cool.

Hey all.
Been following this thread for quite some time now, but haven't posted anything so far, because, uhm, well, my druid is only level 81, poorly geared and at the moment logged out God knows where.
Mind if I join in? I'm close enough to being a viking.
Oh, and I like beer.
