@OrigamiRobot apartment, but close enough

It's basically a dorm with a kitchen

Origami Robot

Ah, I was gonna say opening the windows in a dorm is bad because the thermostat is usually for a large block of rooms and you'll throw it off.

Unionhawk

1:47 PM

Not for here

We have our own

It is glorious

But I think they have it controlled such that you can't have AC on right now

just heat

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot In my dorm in college we had to keep the window open at all times from mid-fall to mid-spring or it was 80 degrees in the room.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria We had the same situation. The rooms on one side of the building were too hot so the people opened the windows and that fucked up the thermostat for the whole floor.

It just made it so the AC never came on and everyone had to open the windows.

Unionhawk

The AC isn't going to come on regardless because it's 40 degrees are you crazy

(that's approximately not warm, for the canadians in the room)

Arperum

@Frank Theyt even answered on the post...

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk If those same people opened the window in the winter, the heat would always be on for the whole floor

@Arperum I know. And I like their reasoning: "We just want SO people to have more choices!"

@OrigamiRobot Well, our thermostat is in another room.

F relates to the human body?

@Rapitor hmm that map is wrong. The glorious Liberia and Myanmar also use farenheit

Unionhawk

1:55 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Map does nothing but convey the stereotype that Americans are wrong. STEREOTYPE I SAY

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus 100 was originally supposed to be the temperature of the human body

in my dream temperature scale, 0 would be freezing and 100 would be a reasonably agreed upon "hot"

Kevin van der Velden

REALLY REALLY @UNI WRONG

Sconibulus

1:56 PM

I remembered it as the temperatures that were normalish in Europe

0 was about as cold as it ever got, and 100 was about as warm as it ever got

(in theory)

Unionhawk

Yeah, for those of you who find Fahrenheit to be arbitrary, how is "based on when water freezes and boils" any less arbitrary?

Sconibulus

because water is important for reasons

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Because it's the system I use.

Origami Robot

Jan 25 at 2:59, by OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria My favorite is when people call Fahrenheit's scale "arbitrary" as though choosing water for a scale isn't arbitrary.

Sconibulus

I dunno, water as a scale makes a lot of sense to me

and I'm a F-er

Unionhawk

1:57 PM

@OrigamiRobot Yes, I heard a great genius say that once, so I said it.

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus So does the human body.

Sconibulus

but what does 0 mean, human-wise?

water as a scale doesn't make sense. why should water get the attention

@Sconibulus Too cold

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden NO U

Kevin van der Velden

1:58 PM

@Sconibulus nope, farenheit 0 is when (some unspecified mixture of) salty water freezes, 100 is supposedly the average body temperature

Rapitor

we should just use Kelvin

Matt Эллен

how cold is that water? freezing? oh well, thanks, now I know how cold it is. total sense

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden No

100 being body temp makes a little sense, but 0 seems random

Kevin van der Velden

1:59 PM

Fahrenheit

Fahrenheit (symbol °F) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), after whom the scale is named. On Fahrenheit's original scale the lower defining point was the lowest temperature to which he could reproducibly cool brine (defining 0 degrees), while the highest was that of the average human core body temperature (defining 100 degrees). There exist several stories on the exact original definition of his scale; however, some of the specifics have been presumed lost or exaggerated with time. The scale is now usually defined by...

Frank

@Unionhawk Because that has logical markers.

Unionhawk

not freeze, the lowest temperature it would go to period

Kevin van der Velden

Brine (0 degrees) is a mixture of salt and water, anywhere from 3.5% to 26% salt

Unionhawk

@Frank NO

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk the lowest it would go to is about 0K. You can cool it past freezing

Origami Robot

2:00 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Oh, I missed "salty"

Kevin van der Velden

@MattЭллен also yeah, if the (pure) water is actively freezing then you know exactly what temperature it is

Frank

@Unionhawk Compared to Fahrenheit, yes, yes it does.

Unionhawk

@Frank Just because you use it doesn't suddenly make it more logical.

Origami Robot

Anyway, water freezing is a fine 0 because it tells you when it can snow. Water boiling is a terrible 100.

We should just define a new temperature scale adopting this.

@OrigamiRobot Why would you combine two different scales?

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot That's nonsense. Keep both measurements from the same thing already.

Kevin van der Velden

2:02 PM

@OrigamiRobot that's not a single objective measure, that's a range of measures

Origami Robot

And?

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot and you can't really make a rational system of measurement on something that isn't fixed

Sconibulus

water boiling is a pretty bad 100, mostly because it lacks granularity

water boiling would be a decent 200 though

best of both worlds!

Kevin van der Velden

@Sconibulus how come? We do have fractions though

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot What human body would you use though? Every single human has a slightly different body temperature. Pure water has the same cooking temperature everywhere. (assuming same pressure)

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus It's 212 in F

Sconibulus

@KevinvanderVelden I've seen those maps of europe where all the places has the same number overlaid

Jason Berkan

@Sconibulus I believe I've said this before, but that is my biggest issue with C.

Unionhawk

He's saying precisely 100 F would be the 100

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk Yes

Unionhawk

and 0 C would be 0

It's not that goddamn complicated

Arperum

@Unionhawk roughly is so vague. you need exact.

Even @Uni gets it, guys. cmon

Kevin van der Velden

@Sconibulus a temperature map of europe lacks granularity unless it's several meters wide

Origami Robot

@Arperum That's what K is for

Frank

@Unionhawk It's not the complication. It's using two different measurements, which is the worst of both worlds.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot These are annoyingly big numbers.

Unionhawk

2:06 PM

@badp People stop paying attention after 1

Jason Berkan

@badp Most temperature devices (i.e. my van) don't have decimal points and the difference between 20 and 21 is huge.

Frank

@Unionhawk Those people just need proper training, then.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk no, I'm saying that a map of 10 million square kilometers needs an enormous amount of data points to have any reasonable granularity.

Unionhawk

No

Sconibulus

Yeah, but in that Europe place you use decimal points to mean commas!

Jason Berkan

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn Again. You're in the bridge, of course you're insane.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Oh, you have to pay for them. That's still pretty decent. Cookies are always good.

badp

2:13 PM

@JasonBerkan No I mean is there really a large difference between 20 and 21?

Sconibulus

that'd make zero somewhere in the flipping cold range

user15026

@frank two cookies the size of my face for a buck fifty, feels like win to me :p

Sconibulus

although I am having trouble figuring out exactly how cold cryonics get

Origami Robot

My scale does not care about negative temperatures except as a means of comparison.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Yeah, that's a great price.

Jason Berkan

2:14 PM

@badp When heating my house / van, yes. I find 21 uncomfortably warm and 20 too cold. 20.5 is perfect.

Kevin van der Velden

Hmmm, I need to look at baking cookies

Matt Эллен

@Vektorweg because sometimes they're wrong?

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot and therefor not a functional basis for a system of measurement

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden +/-5 is "warm". Everything below is "Damn, I need to put pants on", everything above "I'll be in the basement below ground water level, thanks."

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden It's very functional.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn It's cold when wearing a t-shirt. Every year, I work outside at -35.

Arperum

K is actually just C where the scale is shifted 273 degrees.

Jason Berkan

But I dress way differently.

Matt Эллен

273.something

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka I was talking about human core body temperature (in the message you replied to)

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Sitting in water of 100R isn't deadly though.

Vektorweg

@Matt i mean that measuring temperature in F is stupid, because we can calculate with a precision beyond the comma.

Sconibulus

2:20 PM

Let's just define Absolute 0 as 0; 100 as Planck Temperature, and make the scale logarithmic :)

badp

What expression do weather channels say when they mean "9 to 6 Fahrenheits"?

Private Pansy

@MattЭллен .15

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden In this case, it's still the difference from the norm that's important, and "should be about 310" is good enough for everyday use.

badp

I know, say, 79-76 is "high 70s"

Origami Robot

I don't care about water except for the freezing point.

Matt Эллен

2:20 PM

I care about the boiling point. good for knowing when I can cook things

badp

Martin Sojka

You guys do know that both depend heavily on pressure? Especially the boiling point.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka I don't think we're disagreeing. I'm saying that defining a point on a scale by a range that might change over time is a terrible idea

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot How do you make food? Oh, the water isn't frozen. Close enough to cooking.

Origami Robot

It's never going to be hot enough outside for water to boil so I don't need it to be 100

Vektorweg

2:21 PM

Kelvin is just fine.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka which is why that variable is also defined to be 1 atmosphere

badp

Frank

Unionhawk

@badp "mid to high" usually

Frank

And our ovens have that scale, too.

badp

2:23 PM

@Unionhawk "mid to high 0s"?

Unionhawk

@badp Oh, usually that would be "cold"

Vektorweg

@badp the common language includes far more information.

Sconibulus

nah, they'd probably say "dipping below 10"

badp

@Frank Yes I'm sure you make do with F's just as well as we make do with C's

@Vektorweg Does it?

Unionhawk

or "below freezing"

Jason Berkan

2:24 PM

@badp "dipping into the single digits"

Frank

@badp I'm just wondering how Fahrenheit is useless for cooking.

Unionhawk

Yea, that

It's not quite useless no

badp

Useless might've been a strong word; unwieldly?

Unionhawk

Meh

Frank

And we have a weird mishmash of metric and imperial.

Unionhawk

2:24 PM

Depends on what you're used to

Origami Robot

I think you guys are just misunderstanding what I want out of my temperature scale.

badp

"Cook in oven at 470°F"

Vektorweg

@badp definitely. Except you have extreme big numbers for temperature that are equal to a description of information using language.

Sconibulus

oven instructions always seem to be increments of 25

Jason Berkan

@badp Pfft. 475. (It's always a 25) And sheesh, that is hot.

Unionhawk

2:25 PM

@OrigamiRobot Probably.

@Unionhawk Do you need help navigating the area?

Vektorweg

Celcius is an offset. Offsets are for little kids.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka so you want a different way to measure temperature for every single mixture and pressure level?

badp

Celcius sucks. Celsius is where it's at

Kevin van der Velden

That sounds, unwieldy, do you just have a room filled with temperature gauges?

Jason Berkan

We all just need to agree on a scale. As usual, the problem is the Americans, who refuse to join the rest of the ~~collective~~ planet.

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden No, just for people to not confuse "pure water at a specific pressure boils at 100°C" with "the water (with crap in it) in this pot boils right now, so it has to be 100°C warm".

badp

@Arperum Well we could use scale 36 pretty easily

Martin Sojka

@Arperum You could be writing in 6 groups of 10, or 5 groups of 12, or 4 groups of 15, whatever.

Q: Pokemon Bank Issue

So Pokemon Bank has been giving me issues in which it would refuse to save the game. I didn't think before acting and I may have screwed myself over-I restarted my game... Now the bank keeps saying to user the non-existing file because it didn't save properly. The Pokemon in the Bank are from Kan...

I think all weeks should be 42 days long, that just makes sense

> The Erisian week consists of five days: Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-Prickle, and Setting Orange. The days of the week are named after the five basic Discordian elements: Sweet, Boom, Pungent, Prickle, and Orange.

(Note: there will still only be 5 workdays)

@OrigamiRobot wat

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I like your way of thinking. The economic problems that would cause aside.

Kevin van der Velden

@Rapitor religions shrug

Vektorweg

@KevinvanderVelden love this idea.

"Boomtime"

Origami Robot

Prickle-Prickle is best day.

Today is Prickle-Prickle! Yay!

@OrigamiRobot I will continue to misread this as prickle-pickle for quite a while I believe

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden That's acceptable.

Rapitor

Origami Robot

Also acceptable

@Rapitor I think my brain is just refusing to accept that it's the same word repeated twice and grabs the next closest looking things

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden mahi-mahi

Martin Sojka

In regards to time, I think it depends on what you want to measure and label. If it's a measure of "how much time passed", seconds are fine. If it's a label for "when in human history something happened", day (+ fractional part of it) is the better idea, even if the mapping of it to time in seconds looks like a drunken gorilla trying to draw a line.

@OrigamiRobot Dolphin.

@Unionhawk Shh, I wanna see what his brain interprets it as.

Brains are weird

Unionhawk

dolphin is delicious

Martin Sojka

(And yes, the gorilla tends to sometimes skip parts of the line and draws curls and squiggles in it. Deal with it.)

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk SO says my mom. I've never had it.

I'm not big on fish. There are a couple exceptions.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot It's a very light fish, takes on the flavor of what it's cooked with.

Blackened is the best

Origami Robot

I like tuna and salmon

Unionhawk

2:52 PM

I honestly just said it to get people to react in a "WHAT YOU EAT FLIPPER?" manner, so I can say "TOURIST ALERT. (dolphin==mahi-mahi)"

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk I was also waiting for this.

Unionhawk

YOU HAVE DISAPPOINTED ME BRIDGE

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk for not hating you for eating dolphinfish?

For not being dumb tourists? =p

Unionhawk

FOR NOT BEING STUPID

:P

Right, I'm in a room with a Floridian, some Europeans, and @OrigamiRobot. Not the kids from Kansas I was getting at Sea Base.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk well it helped that I googled it, got the dutch name (literally translated:) Golden mackerel

Origami Robot

> Also known widely as dorado

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Mhmm

Origami Robot

Now I know what animal crossing meant

@KevinvanderVelden wat

Unionhawk

Dolphins (flipper) are assholes anyway. I don't imagine them to be tasty, but I wouldn't feel sorry for them.
