Nah. Only 50F to 115f is usable. What kind of weird ass datapoints are those? I mean 10C to 45C are just as random, but at least it aligns with something practical. At least I understand that 200C is twice what it takes to boil water. I have no idea how hot 400F is supposed to be.

Fahrenheit is the temperature brine feels.

There is absolutely no reason for Fahrenheit. It made sense before there was Celsius, but it doesn't make sense today.
