As I understand it, yes it was a saturated solution.

You're totally correct that Celsius is the more sensible scale with easier to replicate reference points (when using water). It was also invented almost 30 years after the Fahrenheit scale and with all the insights gained from that period of technological advancement. In fact in the modern day the Celsius degree size is defined in reference to the Boltzmann constant since Celsius is essentially the Kelvin scale with the numbers moved around.

It also used 100 as the freezing point of water and 0 as the boiling point when originally proposed, which changed after Anders Celsius died because everyone knew that was a weird way to do it.

It makes no sense because that's not what the 0 of the Fahrenheit scale is. The 0 point is the coldest an ammonium chloride brine mixture can be cooled to. The 90 point was an estimated average for human body temperature (it was adjusted up over time). These were chosen because the goal of the scale was to provide a way for people to have a defined temperature scale with a range and degree size that could be reliably reproduced without passing around standardized tools. 100 is really hot because human bodies were used as a reference for the high end, but the low end has nothing to do with the human body.

Frigate is the go-to open source self hosted solution for this. https://frigate.video/

Yes. I would say people shouldn't have to pay for the basic necessities required to live. Why should anyone live with the threat of homelessness and starvation?

It's a two pack, so $5 per cap. Slightly less ridiculous for a niche tool.

There is a world of difference between taking issue with someone making a poorly received argument and a government deciding that making that argument is inherently illegal.

Ah dang, I forgot it was still needed during signup.

Signal can do messaging and calling over wifi and can be set up with just a username.

Yeah, most customer service jobs don't let you kill people and get a vacation for it though.

This same fungal infection causes the males to have sex until their butts fall off, so I'm pretty sure some humans would seek it out.

So what you've demonstrated is that a fraction of less than 1 percent of voters registering in a few states MAY be non-citizens, a number so small it's barely a rounding error, and that of that small number of people it seems we catch most of them long before they vote. I do not understand why this issue seems worth the effort you're putting into it.

I'll concede then that it does and has happened. However, I still think you're going too far by claiming there's no consequences while literally linking to attempted convictions.
