Hypothermia can be a problem in temperatures as high as 50F. 0F is a meaningless number, outside of purely subjective “it’s cold” uses.

That’s as hot as a person can really tolerate.
There’s large chunks of the world proving that false every day. For the geographically impared, the simple fact that Phoenix has existed for longer than air conditioning, proves that statement false.
And 0F as the low point is equally as useless.
For day to day use, it’s just a single number, no one is doing any conversions, etc, with the number. That was my point. There’s nothing to remember. Do you forget what 72F feels like? Do you have to scale it in your head?
When it comes to a single number on a scale, whatever you grew up with will be more “obvious”. 100F doesn’t give me any more information than 38C does. The whole “base 10” thing only matters if you are actually doing some math to that number.
“Intuitive” is a meaningless metric for a single scaled number. Whichever system you are used to will be the more “intuitive”.
Also, climate can play into which system feels more useful. Where I live, 100F occurs only rarely (and since air conditioning is almost ubiquitous, not something I’d bother looking out for), while 0C is an outdoor temperature that I do need to be aware of for half the year.
I’m not up to speed on how US tax laws work. What does getting deemed a hobby entail?
Nothing says “small government” and “freedom” quite like mass surveillance.
World’s best swap drive.
Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using “on accident”.
the ads are minimally intrusive — that is, highly relevant and engaging — they should not detract from the overall user experience
In what universe do ads, no matter how “relevant and engaging”, ever not detract from the overall experience?
What’s the pay at those regional schools and community colleges? Is it enough to cover massive student debt?
What research opportunities are there at those colleges? Could it be that teaching was just a necessary evil required for the job they actually want to do?
Well that would depend on exactly what type of experiments he’s doing.
