Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.
0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.
30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.
60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.
80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.
100°F is 100% hot. AC or you’ll melt.
120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.
Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…
-20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
-10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.
Negative absolute temperature is a thing. Lasers exhibit negative temperatures when active, i.e. the lasing medium has a negative temperature expressed in Kelvin. Adding more energy doesn’t increase its entropy, it just turns into more laser light. Any such system with bounded entropy can have a negative thermodynamic temperature.

20·2 years agoYou use the cleaning function first, then the dry function. Don’t just dry the shit on there (well, maybe you would, but everyone else washes first, that’s the point of a bidet).
Light is made of quanta. Neither waves nor particles.

1·2 years agoAnd the cashier is probably going to screw up the bagging. Does the ice cream go in the insulated re-usable bag, or does it go in a regular bag next to the room temperature canned goods? Pretty good chance it goes into the uninsulated bag, the tomatoes end up in the insulated bag with the milk, etc.

It’s not that you can feel individual features, but rather that a repeating pattern of that size can be distinguished from a smoother surface.
Mini-USB wasn’t very common. Micro-USB was common.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Combining two different internet debates
3·2 years agoAnother violation is that they conserve speed, not velocity. Put 2 portals 90° apart. Travel into the first perpendicular to the surface. You’ll exit the second perpendicular to its surface. That means you accelerated to change direction, which takes energy. Portals don’t conserve momentum or energy.

4·2 years agoBut the orange portal is moving. The game code works more like A (it bugs out and the object bounces off the portal surface, but it uses a world-fixed coordinate frame that would match A for behavior). A (Newtonian) relativistic coordinate system would match B. For everything with non-moving portals A & B are equivalent.
KeePass + Syncthing is pretty convenient.
Buttercup looks to be using AES-CBC with PBKDF2 and no authentication, but I only took a very brief look so I may have missed important details. That’s not secure if an attacker can alter the vault file, and PBKDF2 isn’t a great KDF to use. If you use this, you definitely need a 128-bit or higher entropy passphrase (10 Diceware words). You usually want that anyway, but using a weaker string for your master password will be less secure than you expect compared to something using a modern KDF.

Any company using insecure cryptography in any new product or service should be dissolved.
