Yeah, well that’s a cultural thing really. Celcius and fahrenheit scales are both quite arbitrary. The kelvin scale uses absolute zero, which totally makes sense, but the other fixed point is pretty arbitrary when you think of it. The fahrenheit scale makes sense for the human experience of weather, while the celcius scale makes sense for generally life on Earth where water plays an important role. Neither of them are particularly universal, and they both suck in their unique ways.

Life Pro Tip: If you take the piss out of two units at the same time, you can make everyone equally angry.

LOL, the original Celsius scale really is 10/0 cursed.

LOL, “batteries not included” has a whole new meaning now.

Very interesting. I wonder how those manufacturers are planning to make these cars cheaper? Do they just have a smaller battery, or do they go with LFP instead of NMC or NCA?

In summary: You and me, we’re in the same tribe, and we hold the superior worldview. Those people over there in the out-group are wrong. They also do things the wrong way, because they aren’t in our tribe.

Hearing this sort of talk pulls some strings in the human mind. There’s this interesting default setting that says tribalism = TRUE.

It was the same thing with IE back in ancient times. A popular browser violates web standards so many sites were designed with that rogue browser in mind. If you use a browser that actually follows the standards, some sites just won’t work properly for you.

What happened in Iceland? I really thought they would have inherited this kind of stuff from Norway.

When in doubt, always guess it’s a Swedish loanword. You’ll be right surprisingly often.

I don’t have numbers that would directly address that. However, there are lots of statistics on the number of mobile users vs desktop users when it comes to the traffic in general. This trend has been clearly visible for about 15 years now.

Here’s something I found on a short notice. link

Only took one course of immunology, and oh boy was it complicated. If there’s something wrong with the immune system, good luck trying to figure out how that works, let alone how to control it. It’s not completely hopeless, but it is a major undertaking, just like the human genome project once was.

Since we know that covid can do this, the obvious next question is: Can other diseases cause similar damage? What about seasonal influenza?
