Are there not times when a difference of 1F changes your decision making? That is absolutely a noticeable difference in the temperature of a home. 76 I’m sweaty, 75 I’m comfortable.

Have you ever heard of this thing called a decimal point

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well yeah but that’s the point, the fact that Celsius requires using decimal points in order to accommodate a human scale is the thing that makes it worse

I’m not saying Celsius is unusable or anything, it honestly doesn’t really matter, we could measure temperature in Kelvin as long as we all understand. But if you’re designing a system, you should want it to be as smooth and painless as possible.

I have never used a decimal point tbc. I just don't think you need that many gradations, and from my perspective having so many numbers seems like the opposite of painless. But it's what you're used to isn't it, and not being bothered to learn a different system is perfectly valid. Just don't try to tell me that farenheit makes more sense lol

Out of curiosity, do you ever adjust your heating or air conditioning by a single degree?

Relatively frequently, although for the most part I’ve figured out the precise numbers that work well on my house and don’t change it

really embracing the climate control stalin mindset

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

That's interesting, because mine is in C and I never feel the need for finer gradation than integers. In fact, sometimes I'll even hop up/down by two. I can't begin to imagine noticing the difference between 27 and 27.2

not for me, personally, but my thermostat does adjust in 0.5 °C increments. I guess I can't assume that for everyone

Are you diabetic? Wait that sounds like I'm pathologising this. That's rude and uncalled for. It's just that I've heard of situations where people get that specific about room temperatures being linked to stuff like diabetes and I got curious.

I’m not but I do have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which can cause issues with temperature regulation

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Ah that would make sense. Thanks for indulging m curiosity and sorry for the rudeness.
