@VonVladimierV @WEschenbach @KirkegaardEmil Degrees being the same size doesn't help much when Stefan-Boltzmann has T^4. The complexity comes from the offset zero, not the degree size.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

The one and only virtue of Celsius is that the degrees are the same size as Kelvin, making it easy to convert to actual scientific units. 0C is kind of interesting as being somewhere near the freezing point of water at everyday pressures, but freezing and melting are messy processes and in practice water freezes and melts across a range. Boiling is even worse. Water boils in a range around 95.4C at my house, which is no easier to work with than 203.7F. The fact that it boils closer to 100C in some places is not obviously more useful than the fact that it boils around 100F in other places. (Roughly 60000 feet above sea level.)

Um, "former president"?

@rlkieckhafer @iamfxlord @grunthos14 @ThePunnyWorld The date line dodges around it. But it crosses 180 longitude.

@JonErlichman China 76. Egypt 74. Iran 47. Russia 34.

@DrewPavlou I wouldn't worry about aura loss too much. Most of us didn't notice.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@actingliketommy Ok, but how about instead of making them "tax dollars", you keep your dollars and I'll keep mine and we can each decide what to buy to benefit ourselves? We'll call it, I dunno, "free exchange"?

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@AlisonMoyet To be fair you were like 3 years old at the time, right?

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@RealElliottHope @uncle_deluge Ozenne originates in Normandy, and I don't really know how they'd pronounce it there. The California branch of the family from which I originate all pronounces it o-ZEEN. Even if I knew the original pronunciation why would I consider that more correct?

@DefiantLs "Not even being hidden *anymore*" is a sort of delightful admission from the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state.

@RoKhanna I am honestly unsure whether in your formulation I am building wealth or hoarding it. Can you explain the difference?

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@aevisary I suppose the point of the bottle is so if things go wrong in just the right way you can die?

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@FurkanGozukara $120k per child?! And that's cause for celebration?!

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@stephen_taylor @NateSilver538 @howardanglin We should insist on the c in America.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@NateSilver538 There's no central authority of English, and hence no "official". There's only assorted style guides and a usage histogram. Thus the only tool for deliberate change is persuasion.

@caroljsroth @nikitabier I wouldn't call it fake slop. I would call it an op.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@lymanstoneky If you could produce an Earth-like atmosphere somehow it would hang around for tens of millions of years. So like as long as you can keep producing it at least that fast you're good.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@BernieSanders Where did those billions come from, Bernie? Answer that honestly and precisely and you might learn something important.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@sarahhepola At home I'd probably pull the wheels, put them in my other car, and take them over to Discount Tire. Does that count? On the road I might either swap to the spare or call a tow service, depending on location safety, outdoor temperature, etc.

[David Ozenne @dmozenne]

@jenatlionra It's pattern matching. It's writing the kind of resume that goes along with those names. You're railing at the fact that women write different resumes than men. You could always try writing your own.
