Having the weather between 50-100 instead of 10-40 kind of makes sense. And for the cooking, having the steak temperature at 130-135 or 135-145 is clearer than 54-57 or 57-63. Not that I’d think it would make sense to change, but it just seems plain stupid how we like to pretend the imperial system would be inferior and stupid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 years ago Oh yeah that's why it freezes at a random 32 degrees.
