The main purpose of this post, of course, is to push down the picture from the last post. I don’t want it to appear at the top of the blog.
But here’s something I’ve been idly thinking about when I take a break from my currently extremely frustrating job:
Water boils (at sea level) at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Does that mean that it’s legit to say that water at 106 F is halfway to boiling? Why not? Sure, you say.
Now, in Celsius, boiling is 100 degrees. So halfway to boiling is 50 C.
And 50 degrees Celsius equals…122 F. So halfway to boiling Celsius is hotter than halfway Fahrenheit.
I know. This isn’t news to you physics majors and sciency types. And someone’s going to say that I should only use Kelvin or something.
“to” begs the question of “from”
