Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You’d say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

And specially, from every shires ende

Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."

Good take

I wouldn’t even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads

I’m not in the market for a new car. I don’t need car ads.

But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I’ve been eyeing would be nice.

Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.

If ads were helpful they wouldn’t be annoying

your freezer at -18 °C (0 °F) or lower. This will keep your food out of the temperature danger zone between 4 °C (40 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) where bacteria can grow quickly.

According to Canada.ca

Every 2 F is basically 1 C. You have more whole numbers with F.

Like -15°C is 5°F

6°F is -14.4444°C

-14°C is 6.8°F

So 5, 6, and 7°F are about equal to -15, -14.5, and -14°C.

And it’s not just a random number. You know how much more energy would be used if everyone kept their freezer just a couple degrees colder? It’s the optimum recommended temperature.

USA uses US Customary units, not Imperial units.

Fahrenheit is grouped with US Customary units but is not one.

I agree metric system is superior and there isn’t a reason to use Inches, Feet, Yards, etc.

But Fahrenheit is a great system for weather and works great for everything else.

For science if I have to heat a beaker to 280° it doesn’t matter if it’s C or F. I’m not going to be able to relate to 280° in either system. The instrument is going to have to tell me the exact measurement.

Same with like a tape measure. I can measure out 3 meters. I don’t need to know how long 3 meters is to do that.

However, mark two lines on a piece of paper and I will get closer guessing in inches than cm because I know the US customary units better.

Eventually US will change to metric. But I doubt we will ever not use Fahrenheit for normal day things like weather

When do you use 0° and 100°C?

This is also at standard pressure and most do not live at sea level.

I don’t put a thermometer in my water to make sure it is boiling or one in my water to make sure it freezes.

It can snow and roads can ice before it hits 0°C

It has no real world applications

90-110 is hand washing temp. 100 average.

110 is hot

120 recommend max

130 very hot

140 very very hot

150 burns

If I said to you. Would you stick your hand in 50°C water for 100 dollars would you do it?

What about 60°C?

65°C?

I bet you don’t know what would happen if you stuck your hand in 65°C water without looking it up. There’s a huge jump from 60° to 65°C. 70°C will instantly scald you.

Someone out there is stupid enough to think. Water boils at 100°C, 65 should be perfectly fine. Even though water doesn’t boil until 212°, most people would be cautious of sticking their hand in 100°F+ water.

Yes if you think 40°C+ is hot then you can gather that 65°C would be hotter. But why compare to 40° when you can do 100°.

Not sure where you got -4F from.

USDA, United States Department of Agriculture, recommends 0°F or -17.8°C

100°F in the shade isn’t extreme, and you’d be able to survive normally (With more water, everyone can use more water)

100°F is hot tub water

120°F is recommended hot tap water

140°F water will pretty much burn you instantly

0F is the temperature a freezer needs to be to keep food fresh.

50F is the point that you can’t survive without clothes, your body will not generate enough heat.

100F (38C) will not burn you alive. You can survive for a long time in a sauna at 200F.

100F is perfect hot tub temperature

0-150 is the better range, and 75 is right in the middle. 100 is just a hot air temperature most people don’t want to be in but it’s not an extreme.

Saunas can get up to 200 degrees

Hot tubs are usually at 100

Freezers need to be at least 0

You say 15°C. 6° cooler than room temperature. But how much is 6°?

It’s 60°F.

50°F or 10°C is where you need clothes to survive

300, 325, 350 is where you bake cookies (149-176°C)

Fahrenheit has a bunch of 5 and 10s

Saying something like high 70s or low 70s for temp represents an easy way to tell temperature.

21° to 26° for celcius

I walk outside and say “It feels like high 70s today” someone using celcius would say, “Feels like 25°”. If it was a little warmer than “low 80s” compared to “Ehh about 26 or 27°C”

Ability to act on freewill

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that’s what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.

Now if Chat GPT could be like “Nah I’m not going to answer that because I don’t feel like it”

Yes “AI” can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Yeah the official term genocide was specifically crafted to avoid including Joseph Stalin. Sure.

https://news.stanford.edu/2010/09/23/naimark-stalin-genocide-092310/

Athiest Joseph Stalin performed mass killing of his own people

No Stalin was an athiest and he caused mass genocide.

Google says it could be 20+ million. Anyways, how many he killed isn’t the point.

He killed people because they were in opposition

Yeah he killed them for non-religious reasons. Religion didn’t play a part in the mass genocide.

Stalin wasn’t religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.

He killed what, 6+ million people?
