It would be useful because it gives multiple specific and relatable reference points. How is that not useful?

The way humans relate to the temperature has a huge range and so very vague. Do you say that 0 is when you swap shorts for trousers? Or when you put a hoody on? Or is it when your neighbour puts their hoody on? Or when your friend from Texas puts their hoody on?

It's like when you come across a recipe that calls for a knob of butter. Everyone's knob is a different size, we've just agreed to say that whatever it is, it's enough.

Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a 'kit' form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There's a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

Are you saying you couldn't get the home folder to open? Or you couldn't locate the folder?

Isn't it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the 'go' menu and select 'home'?

If only there was something more specific that a wider range of people could relate to.

One of those things is more specific than the other.

How does that make it better?

Does ammonium chloride brine not freeze at different pressures?

Why does it have to be based on weather? There's plenty of other reasons to measure temperature. Some with handy reference points that lots of people are familiar with.

Wait, he chose 96, or he measured it?
