  • If everyone had solar panels and thought like you, we’d still have globe warming

    Energy is heat. There’s no such thing as cold, just lack of heat.

    Trapping sun rays then releasing hot air warms the planet. That’s what your system is doing. Removing heat from your house and putting it outside while your electric motor throws out extra heat.

    It just doesn’t have the air pollution that burning coal or gas does.






  • There are the “I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket”. They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.

    If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.

    68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.

    Older people keep their houses at 78°+

    100°F doesn’t mean “not fit for human habitation”

    Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That’s why 100°F is important.


  • 50°F is the point where you need clothes to survive. If you sat naked in a 50°F room you run the risk of your body not being able to generate enough heat and you’ll slowly die.

    ~75°F is room temperature. It’s in the middle on the warm side.

    70°F is a cool room, 80°F is a warm room.

    Whenever I think of Celsius I see it as 0° to 40° with 20° being room temperature. I hear 30°C and think halfway between 70 and 100 so I know it’s around 85°F and I know how 85°F feels.

    But like 35°C. That’s 3/4 of the way from 20°C to 40°F. 100°F-70°F is 30°. 3/4 of 30 is 22.5. So 35° must be close to 70°+22.5° or ~93°F. I know how 93°F feels.

    I can see how celcius is easier if you learned it as a child. 35°C would just be 35°C. But trying to quickly wrap your head around it is difficult unless you just know it. I’m sure if I said 93°F you could tell me that that is pretty hot.


  • You never deal with 0°C/32°F or 100°C/212°F unless you’re in a science lab.

    They are nice numbers in celcius, but for real-world applications, it’s almost meaningless.

    When I boil water on the stove, I don’t check if it hits 100°C. When I freeze water in the freezer, I don’t check if it hits 0°C.

    Everyone can get by without knowing the exact degrees.

    This is pure water at standard pressure. Higher or lower altitudes will change it, and if your water has minerals or impurities in it, it will also change it. It’s pretty arbitrary.

    Water on roads can freeze before it hits 0°C outside. It can even snow above 0°C.

    Fahrenheit is a very simple scale other than those two things. <0° extremely cold, >100° extremely hot for air temperature. Freezers are 0°F and Saunas are 200°F. Hot tubs are 100°F. You bake cookies at 325° to 375°, pizza is cooked at 600° to 800°F. You’ll find a lot of 25° increments in cooking.

    Fahrenheit isn’t really a part of the US customary units.

    Knowing both Fahrenheit and Celsius, I do think Fahrenheit is simpler for real-world applications. For science they are just numbers on a scale. Converting is the only real problem.


  • 1 centiyard is about equal to 1 centimeter

    1 miliyard is 3 milifeet

    1 kiloyard is 3 kilofeet

    It would be the same as the metic system having something like a “hand”

    That if you wanted to express 1/3 of a meter you could just call it 1 hand. 2/3 meter would be 2 hands.

    If you were using this metric system and knew that something had to be two hands long. You’d simply call it 2 hands instead of .66 meters or 66 centimeters.

    If something had to be 2.5 hands long it would be .825 meters or 82.5 centimeters

    Meter and yard are both random established lengths. Using miliyards or millimeters is exactly the same.

    US customary units just have smaller unit names you can call them if it is convenient. If you never wanted to use anything but yards like the metric system does meters, it’s possible. Don’t want to use miles? Then megayards.

    I do think 1 simple system that everyone uses is needed and the metric system is simple.

    But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.



  • That’s why death penalty shouldn’t exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.

    However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?

    Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind

    Next argument is “what if the government framed people to execute them?”

    Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?

    If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.

    Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?

    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

    From their point of view:

    Republican - For God

    Democrat - Against God

    They have to vote for the party that is for God no matter what.

    The other party is going after christ. They see the other side, Democrats, as the anti-christs.

    “News” has become “what can you really believe?”. It’s easy to just not believe any of it but the one issue you care about.

    A true Christian would throw their country under the bus if God told them to do it. God comes before Country.
