Very Off Topic - name your temp right now

[SarahZ]

65 and sunny with a little bit of wind.

In other words, absolutely perfect.

It's right up there with one of those cool, breezy nights that lead to rain and/or gentle thunderstorms.

16 currently, high of 23 today in southwest MO.

Cº I hope. not Fº?

61ºF I'll believe, but not 16ºF!

Of course Celsius. I'm one of those oddballs that actually finds the Metric system easier to understand.

You, sir, are awesome.

I am also among those sane people who find the metric system easier and more logical. I have the temperature display on my laptop, work computer and cell phone all in degree Celsius. Not just that, at one point I actually thought of changing my car's digital speedometer display from mph to kmph but then realized it'd take my concentration away from driving when calculating the conversion every time I enter a new speed limit zone

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in high school we were told that the US would be converting to the metric system...and here we are today. Don't think I could do the conversion in my mind, but if I go shopping for a big bottle of soda, I'll pick up a big bottle of soda, whether it's 2 liters or 64 ozs (are those close to the same size :unsure: ). If I go outside and it's cold, I'll but on a coat whether it's 32 F or 0 C .

I've always assumed the US still uses bastardized imperial units because we still haven't figured out how to pick our battles. We have to fight everyone. All the time. On everything. Even when it's in our own best interests to calm down and admit there's a better way than our way.
