    A little helper to get a feel for it: 20°C is 68°F, 25°C is 77°F, 30°C is 86°F etc. Meaning, you just remember one or two combinations and then for every 5°C change it’s 9°F up or down

          I feel bad for american youth struggling in math and sciences. The imperial system has so much less connectivity between their units that the only way is to memorize all sorts of arbitrary numbers.

          Apparently we yearn for our imperial chains
