Joke's on you; I'm an insomniac.
And FWIW we use the metric system too. We just tend to mix it with US Customary, like how Canada and The UK does with Metric and Imperial. Except the UK uses more Metric than Imperial. Vice versa for the US. Food is sold using both. Science and computing are always in Metric. And a few other things too but it's 4am and I'm too tired to think.
Edit: I don't even know how a CPU's temperature translates to Fahrenheit, but for weather it makes perfect sense. I know that 100°F is hot for outside, and that 80°C is hot for a processor. But I couldn't tell you what is what if you swapped the measurements.
If you'd swap those, your CPU would be super cool and outside would be deadly.
That's not what I meant but I appreciate the help, lol.
I meant that I don't know how to read my PC's temps in Fahrenheit and don't know how to read the weather in Celsius. I do understand that 80°C would kill me, just not by how much.
For me it's the reverse. It's just usus.
