One of the models for Houston is showing it could get down to 6 degrees f on Tuesday, the lowest recorded temperature being 5f in like 1933. Flooding was whatever but apparently pipes freezing is a thing? I don't have anything warmer than demin

BlindSite posted:Yeah... but it's easy 100 degrees and water boils They tried once but it cost too much to switch all the signs. There are still a few signs in California that use both metric and imperial. It's definitely not an education issue because everyone already learns both in school.

Celsius is great for science reasons, but Fahrenheit more accurately represents the range of temperatures humans are likely to experience on a scale from 0 to 100. Its much more intuitive in that sense. Even in the hospital, temperatures are usually recorded in F.

I dunno why we can't use both Fahrenheit and Celsius. 0 to 100 in Fahrenheit is -17 to 37 in celsius, which only gives a spectrum of 54 ways to describe average weather compared to 100 that Fahrenheit provides. Plus, describing cold but manageable weather as 0 degrees Celsius is just weird. A 0 degree temp should illicit an "oh poo poo it's cold" reaction.

Also at this point with so little poo poo manufactured in the US and a lot of crap made to satisft Canada+Us in a single package switching to metric would have a negligible cost for most businesses in the US beyond switching what items they import.

If it's going to get that cold, go to your sink and leave a tiny drip going out of your hot / cold feeds. That should keep it moving enough in your pipes to prevent it from freezing hopefully.

This for all of your faucets plus opening cabinets under your sink to allow relatively warm air in just in case (it probably doesn't matter) if applicable should take care of things. Unless it gets way more insane than I imagine it will in Houston. It'll be a balmy 35 around here today before getting back to 12 for a high tomorrow. e: Christ and a high of 7 on Sunday/Monday. SA2K this is the type of cold I wouldn't make fun of you complaining about for the record. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Dec 29, 2017 |

Should I still grab Shadow if War if I wasn’t big on Shadow if Mordor? It was okay for a little bit, but it felt super repetitive after the first two hours or so, I just didn’t feel a ton of depth to it. In fairness I’ve never met an Assassins Creed game I enjoyed, and while I enjoy Far Cry it may be that stealth-action games generally aren’t for me.

Probably not, but if you want to Redbox it for a day or two you'd enjoy it. The best? part of SoW is that you're a straight up serial killer. They really don't make the protagonist seem like anything but a psychopath.

There are plenty of QoL improvements from SoM, and where the first game used the nemesis system as a flavoring the developers realized that the nemesis system rules and use it as a base in SoW which rules. Every game should have the nemesis system
