if you see an American (me) whining about it being -8 degrees just know that -8C is warm in comparison

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

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
