The dependent variable is most likely ordinal, but they're fitting a linear regression.

ArtIsResistance posted:Man do you think people who use Celsius look at the temperature and go, "Hm 13 degrees. What the gently caress is that?" Because I see people use your argument a lot and it's hella dumb No, my point is that fahrenheit has a larger scale of temperatures, and the values from 0-100 are ideally suited for the weather conditions that humans live in. It is similar to time. We don't say that something is going to happen in a kilosecond, we say it is going to happen in 15 minutes. We've accepted that a non base-10 system is acceptable for time. I am saying that a non base-10 system for weather temperatures (again, that's the only time F is better than C) makes absolutely perfect sense. Someone who grew up with C will obviously have no issues, but as someone who grew up using the imperial system, using the Fahrenheit scale for weather temperature is the only one that I can even remotely justify.

What? because time is not decimal we should use some backwards idiotic temperature system? This 'argument' for using fahrenheit is still hella dumb. Like jesus christ we use temperature for more than how hot it is outside. Oh some boiling water, guess that's 212 degree, yes this is fine, oh some ice 32 degrees obviously. Cling to your insane loving system because you like your freedom units or whatever but don't try to justify it as a good idea that's somehow more useful.

AFewBricksShy posted:No, my point is that fahrenheit has a larger scale of temperatures, and the values from 0-100 are ideally suited for the weather conditions that humans live in. You cannot tell the difference between 73 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit, which is roughly the same difference as one half degree Celsius. Sun/shade, wind, and humidity all affect how you feel temperature to a larger degree than 0.5 C. And if you really do care, just use a digital thermometer with a hundred decimal places like some kind of obsessive temperature freak. Regardless, it takes like half a minute to learn a quick conversion that works good enough and you can do in your head for the one week that tops that it takes to get used to the other system: F->C is subtract 30, divide by 2, and C->F is multiply by 2, add 30, this is precise enough for anything but a science paper or trying to freeze/boil water. If the number you get is weird, you hosed up the order and can just retry until it makes sense. Ugh.

Aramoro posted:Is your oven weather or science? I'd say C would be better for an oven, I've never cooked anything using a temperature that wasn't evenly divisible by 5, so the larger range of temperatures in the F scale wouldn't really matter. Same goes for a fridge. I'm not trying to change the entire world over to F to measure weather, I'm just saying it's the only imperial measurement that can be justified in any way.

The virgin metric system is for loser babies who can't carry more than a single mathematical function in their brains at once. The chad imperial system is for deeply wrinkled brain geniouses who effortlessly navigate the Sefirot of measurements, through which Ein Sof (The Infinite) reveals Itself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms.

My entire stupid country is the only one that still uses the imperial system pretty much because the 2 generations before mine said "I grew up with it" so I really have no good argument here. Again, for the tenth time, I'm just saying it's the only imperial measurement that even remotely makes sense to me, and that it's the only one that I can see as possibly being better suited to a very specific set of data than metric could, and yes, I think that because I grew up using it.

AFewBricksShy posted:In that vein, I agree with the idea of using fahrenheit for weather related temperatures only. Right. For weather, Fahrenheit offers ~120 degrees of variation, depending on where you live. Celsius offers at best half that. Therefore, Fahrenheit allows a more detailed, nuance description of weather. mehall posted:If I say "My dad's birthday is on the 6th", you're going to assume from context that it's the next 6th to occur. Yeah but neither of these are relevant cases where someone would be saying the whole date. If you're giving only one data point, obviously the day is sufficient. If you're giving two, then giving the month first gives instant context.
