But that also doesn't matter because the granularity is meaningless if you don't make decisions for differences between 71F and 70F

Not at those exact temperatures, but one degree matters in in grilling meat, making mash for beer, making candy, etc.

Sure, but you should be using Celsius for those things. That's the main argument here.

It doesn't really matter what you use. The one you memorized is the useful one.

Which was what I was going at. I sort of assumed 'chicken at 74' was enough of a pointer :)

I think you got mixed up here. My comment was made 2 months ago as a response to this one.

You win best username. I’m assuming you’re a Linux nerd as well. <3

You best filesystem check yourself before you filesystem wreck yourself

Where in the chicken I jam the thermometer makes several degrees difference. If you truly require that level of granularity whilst grilling, I'd wager reading a decimal figure isn't the end of the world. Us normies can continue to bring chicken to 74 and call it a day
