Condiv posted:fahrenheit is loving dumb. 0* being the freezing point is v nice because I want to look at a thermometer, see 0 or below and realize poo poo might be frozen outside. what kind of idiot thinks "hmm yes let me remember the number 32 that's a nice number that I want to think about for the rest of my life"? oh yeah, people who love fahrenheit who gives a poo poo if water is frozen? 0f indicates actual probable danger in going outside.

it is pretty easy to tell if there is ice outside by looking out the window, and keeping up to date with your local [weather] won't exist anymore thread for news of horrific snowstorms in your area

Fahrenheit is the superior system. Smaller increments give you a more lush tableau of temperature understandings without involving unseemly decimal places. 69 degrees is achieved with regularity in most places on the Fahrenheit scale, which is nice Celcius is like a flat soda or a limp penis. You'll drink it if its all that is available but youd rather have something that is going to really fill your throat.

Airport food isn't great, but you'd think they could just get some for the passengers if they're parked right there.

poopinmymouth posted:How abnormal is the weather compared to previous years? Any good links to what's been happening weather wise there? This past winter was unusually warm in Tokyo—I think we dipped below freezing at night on only two occasions. This summer has had higher heat indexes than I can recall (I saw a 47*C one day), but lower temperatures. The last truly bananas cicada season I can remember was 2013, so if cicadas are on 7-year cycles then summer 2020 should be  .Typhoon season is just beginning, and when the other poster said “Japan has been hit by two/three typhoons” what they meant was “the scattered outlying islands, that most Japanese people barely think about, have been sideswiped by typhoons”. For tropical weather info I typically check out https://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/ And if you enjoy earthquakes you can go to either the JMA or the USGS https://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/ https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

Jose posted:What is ice on the road Dangerous but common below 40f (well above freezing), and the extra granularity gives you some idea how slush it will be, and you can also look at the last few days daily fluctuations and precip to determine if there might be a layer of powder on top of ice to look out for.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Normal temperature range for Celsius is -17 to 38 degrees, which is 0F to 100F. As you can see Celsius has a range of 55 units while Fahrenheit has a range of 100 units. It is therefore far easier and more satisfying to describe number go up using Fahrenheit. Thus, we must conclude that Fahrenheit is the superior unit of measurement. I can't believe I never realize this before: Americans love Fahrenheit because Americans have an ingrained love of number.

The fewer degrees to describe the weather the better. In an ideal world we only would have 'cold, okay, hot'. Celsius comes closest to this model.

i think the goal should be to advance the temperature to high enough that what scale ur using is irrelevant like wow that thing over there is a million degrees hotter than this thing, which is twenty million degrees hot wow what scale u using there bud gently caress u its a million degrees

How about a logarithmic scale, like Richter but for temperature. That could come in handy in the not so distant future.

it's sort of ironic because the first settlers found the remains of ancient native canals and cities, but they saw no irony in setting up their own irrigation-based civilization right on the ruins of an old one. lots of that desert land is really fertile when you irrigate it (also, lots of it isn't desert at all by the koppen climate classification - here's a population density map for comparison), and the salt river which passes through the phoenix metro area used to be enough for a modest farming valley what's interesting is that phoenix+tucson were saved from their own profligacy by the federal Central Arizona Project, which moves Colorado River water about 3,000 feet uphill. if it weren't for that supply i don't think the growth could be kept up, but water flows toward money what will happen to arizona if/when the colorado river has a megadrought and they can't get supplies for full decades is left as an exercise for the reader edit: to their credit arizona is putting a third of their CAP water into their aquifers, which is a great way to store water long-term edit again: the reason farmers wanted to live in godawful nowhere was to feed the Army and people at Vulture Mine, the biggest gold mine in Arizona, so gold may have been the original reason for people to show up in maricopa county, arizona oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 21:58 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Real hurthling! posted:why did arizonas doomed idiot cities start booming in the first place? what industry is there that attracts people requiring pumpin so much water into the desert? Besides the lethal heatwaves, there's basically no natural disasters or weather issues (hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods except in very defined areas are very rare) and the humidity is low which makes it a good location for computer stuff as well. The old people and all that other stuff need houses, roads, stores, etc. which attracts a lot of other people to support that.
