Hello friends, and "Happy" Holidays! In about one hour, at 4pm pst 7pm est, we're gonna watch the worst Xmas movie I've ever seen- it's The Night They Saved Christmas, a 1984 TV movie with Art Carney as the most pedantic Santa Claus imaginable. Peeee-yu! Bring your riffing goggles because shredded video tape will fly! Plus, special surprises! And shorts start at the half hour! https://cytu.be/r/BYOBmovies

I am so sick of hearing Christmas music! Arg! A few years ago you'd just hear All I Want For Christmas Is You, Last Christmas, and possibly the Christmas song that shall remain unnamed, but now it's all the "classics" back to back in the stores and sometimes at work and I'm going crazy! Christmas is still weeks away! |

Rarity posted:The reason you think Fahrenheit makes more sense is because you're used to it but seriously water freezes at 32 degrees? Wtf is this bullshit get outta here it's this - i used to have to use both (and kelvin and rankine which is just hosed) a bit and there is exactly zero situations where fahrenheit makes more sense all it means is that the range you'd say is comfortable is a different range, one that actually lines up to measurable stuff rather than someone's personal wheeze and it's like this with every measurement really - metric is all now based on in principle measurable physical stuff, and uses consistent base ten maths - i get that being unfamiliar with the system might make it less intuitive to you but there really isn't another reason to use it Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Is metric vs. Imperial the hot button issue which will finally destroy byob?! no because however you choose to measure it, yobbers are all great and chill and the best posting pals - ilu orbs! |

Stoner Sloth posted:it's this - i used to have to use both (and kelvin and rankine which is just hosed) a bit and there is exactly zero situations where fahrenheit makes more sense Well, it's not just the range -- it's the size of a degree. For non-scientific uses, a degree faherenheit is a good quantum unit. A degree celcius is too big -- so most thermostats and thermometers using C go by half-degrees (which roughly correspond to one degree F).

Having worked in an American and a Japanese brewery, metric system reigns supreme. Figuring out ratios between solids and liquids is much easier. Also, WTF is a barrel? (Barrel volume actually depends on what liquid you're measuring. For some reason a barrel of beer, whiskey, wine, oil, etc. are all varying volumes.) Also Celsius is a lot more precise. Also metric is the tool of The Devil and Satan is cool as Hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQnwx10DT9o |

Can anyone really tell the difference between 60 and 61 Fahrenheit? I mean, even if you can, then you just get used to the point five degrees in Celsius. I don't know. I moved here and got used to using Celsius and I've never understood this argument about Fahrenheit being easier to understand for outside temperatures. I'm actually so used to using Celsius now that I get confused when I hear Fahrenheit because my brain works like that and I can't switch between things that easily. |

I guess, but I don't really use quarts. I guess I'd say a liter or half a liter? Or glasses? I don't know. I still don't get the better for understanding outside temperature thing at all. This morning I woke up and looked at the forecast. It said 10℃, so I put on my lighter jacket over my hoodie and made sure I had my gloves and it worked real well for me? I think it's just what you're surrounded by. Now that I'm surrounded by metric, I just use that. |

more falafel please posted:Fahrenheit is better for outside temperature because 0 is super cold but it happens and 100 is super hot but it happens. for Celsius normal temperatures are like -17 to 37 I'm a big metric fan but i agree with this, human habitation tends to run in the 0 to 100 F range and it's kinda like having a scale from 0% really cold to 100% really hot and if you go outside of that something is very wrong I also like to be a nerd about some of the historical origins of a lot of measurements! Why are depths in fathoms (6 ft)? Because as you coil a rope you count each armspan, appx 6 ft if you're a tall sailor What the hell is an acre? It's the amount of land one fit person with one ox could farm in one year, using the technology of the time when the acre was invented A mile was originally one thousand steps (mile, milli, thousand); modern mile is nearly double that Anyway a lot of these things are cool but probably just belong in a museum |

On the flip side, the colder side of Fahrenheit makes very little sense. I see around zero and know it'll be real drat cold. Celcius was weird for me at first for understanding outside temperature, but then I'd look around and see thermometers showing the temperature in Celsius, the weather forecast was in Celcius, etc. You just sort of adapt I guess. I'm not even a mathematical person, but the increments are just more regular, easier to add, subtract, divide, and multiply. I don't know. I don't mean to sound angry about it or anything, I just seriously do not understand the argument that one is easier for understanding the outside temperature immediately. They're both relatively arbitrary scales, but Celcius is based off the temperature of freezing water. Fahrenheit was too, or ice water, but was more inexact. I mean my air conditioner/heater goes up in increments of 1 degree, as have most of the ones I've used here. It's never been an issue I even considered TBH. |

roomforthetuna posted:How is it better for baking? Temperature is never used in less than 5F increments so C will do fine. 100 grams is just as easy to weigh as whatever the gently caress that is in ounces. 250ml is just as easy to measure as a quarter-cup or whatever. Tablespoons are maybe more convenient than equivalent volume-or-weight, except they loving mean something different depending where you are (1 UK tbsp ~= 1.2 US tbsp), so it would be better to just have goddamn designated 20ml spoons if that convenience is important. Just for measuring ingredients without a scale, apparently. That's more for home cooks than commercial I think. I dunno. Metric slaps, imperial can suck it! |

Ingredients amounts are a total shitshow, particularly non-metric. Volume measurements for everything! A cup of water! A cup of beans! A cup of rice! A cup of flour! A cup of chopped celery! A cup of carrots! A cup of potatoes! At least if they used weights for non-fluids it would be ok, but recipe makers hate scales or something I dunno. Like don't pretend to have a precise itemized list when it basically amounts to "some amount of celery, a handful or so of carrots, really up to you". Just put that. Don't assign a value to it.
