What are you thinking now?

[MystyrMystyry]

Can't get to sleep dammit!

[papayahed]

@ papyahed - what's LOOF? Is that like LEET?

erm, that was a "1" as in "One hundred degrees Fahrenheit"

That I am much too young to have an 18 year old son.

I can get up at 4 am...

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

I should probably get up and go for a walk before it reaches 100F.

I'm right there with you.
We're going on day 16 of 100+
I'm trying to think positive, this is nothing compared to the summer of 1980.

This reminds me of our 110F+ summers Fortunately this year there seems to be a more realistic winter down here.

I can't help it. Every time I read about a "100 degree something", I picture it as something hot. I know I'm thinking of Celsius and you're thinking of Fahrenheit, but it confuses me all the same.

Actually, in my country we also use the Celsius system. When I speak in Fahrenheit, I do it for the purpose of making myself understandable by the US citizens on the forum, who are somewhat unfamiliar with the Celsius system.
Regarding conversions, I use Converter, which is a unit conversion plug-in embedded into my Firefox browser. For example, I just highlight 110 F and right click on it, and the tool shows me the equivalent 43.3 Celsius as an element on the context menu. Easier impossible

My goodness, I love nigahiga.

Very nice. I'll have to check if there's such a widget for Safari.

I use this website:

I'm thinking someone should devise a neural component with automatic unit conversion capabilities to be implanted in our brains, so we wouldn't have to highlight figures, or click on links to conversion sites

[MystyrMystyry]

I inherited a Canon Palmtronic FC-32. It's a calculator with metric conversion - I keep it handy, but it's a bit bulky to carry around

I use this method of temperature -

40 degrees C = 100 degrees F

0 degrees C (freezing pont) = 32 degrees F

It's not accurate, but hot's hot and cold's cold

Or better yet convert to one system.

[MystyrMystyry]

That's what we did down here, from Imperial to metric, back in the seventies - it cost a fortune but it was deemed going to be a huge money saver in the long run

I don't have the calculator for exactly how that was supposed to work, nor any proof if it had - sounds like someone made too many 30 centimeter rulers and Celsius thermometers that year though, and wanted to dump them on us
