Good read. Just sadly all temperature measurements are in Fahrenheit. Really makes it hard to grasp for the other 99% of the world

What if everyone complained whenever someone linked to spiegel.de?

Have Claude make you a browser plugin that does the conversion and quit whining.


Let me help.

He's not whining, he's saying that the people who insist on using Fahrenheit are oblivious, ignorant, backwards, uneducated, closed minded, conservative morons and since no one like that would understand, let alone appreciate, the article then why bother using antiquated units of measure that the other 8 billion people besides Americans have abandoned decades ago. The use of imperial units degrades from the overall quality of the article and limits its audience for no reason.


ok so your response is to continue whining even more.

some people start at freezing, some people added 32 * 1.8 for some odd reason. great now chill out


Hah... Your response proves my point quite well, thanks!

And your response is to be an asshole about it.

I made the extension, thanks for the suggestion. It is still dumb having to do that.


If you’re capable of doing basic math in your head you should be able to handle it.

Even if you do a rough conversion - subtract 30 and divide in half you’re close enough.


I read it right now. It was awesome to have this article by the side to understand the mechanics and not only the history and the power play

I actually have a side project running on it. The CI documentation is really lacking and it was hard setting it up. Other than that I am happy with it.
