    Exactly, its just cope. Someone who grew up entirely on metric temperature will have exactly the same intuition. For example myself:

    <0 = freezing 0-10 = Cold 11-17 = Warming up 18-24 = Comfortably warm 25-29 = Tropical 30-40 = Uncomfortably hot >40 = Dangerously hot

    Besides which, all of this goes out the window once wind chill and other external effects that absolute temperature cannot account for come into play.

    It’s the usual American exceptionalism that causes them to throw a tantrum every time they’re asked to conform to a worldwide standard. There’s a reason most of the world uses metric measurements for most things in every day life, and its because it just works once you get used to it.


  • Yeah, of course that is the case now that most definitions have been updated to be tied to physical constants rather than observations that rely on specific conditions…

    But the same wiki article you linked literally says otherwise. The Kelvin’s magnitude was based on the magnitude of Celcius because of Charle’s Law.

    I.e. the volumes of gases under the ideal gas law scaled linearly with degrees celcius by about 1/273rd between 0-100C - which led to the prediction that the lowest possible temperature a gas could be was -273C (because that would be the point where it theoretically would have absolutely zero volume).

    Which is a long-winded way of saying stop being a smartass. The guy you replied to was just as technically correct as you were, given they said 1k stemmed from 1C.





  • Well of course there is a reason…

    Trump needed something to take the people away from the Epstein files, and the mounting evidence that Trump was in fact a paedophile (nevermind that this wasn’t exactly unobvious before all this).

    You can tell he wanted the Iran war to be an easy W - but just like Putin learned the hard way - Trump has now also learned other countries don’t just give up their sovereignty without a fight.

    Instead of creating good PR to flush away Epstein, he’s only dug a bigger hole for himself to be stuck in… Not only is he still a paedophile, he’s also an idiot who started a completely unnecessary war in another country and is actively abetting a genocide. Way to go Donald.




  • Personally, I think you’re half-right in that (with a sample size of our solar system) the Earth is the only one with an actually diverse range of biomes - really only possible because the availability of water in multiple forms…

    But the Earth-like planets in NMS should rightfully have the same biome diversity if they were being scientifically accurate…

    Though we all know the real reason for the lack of diversity is to force movement between planets. If every resource was on one planet, there’s be no reason for the player to explore.
