    I don’t know about you but I do not only use temperature in order to know if my body is hot or if outside is cold or not. I usually use temperature scales in order to know if my computer is hot, my car/bike engine, my food, water for cooking, water for showering, and sometimes since all life is water based I like to know if my food is freezed or is boling. And since at sea level water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C (damn how cool!), then I have an scale that I can use for weather but at the same time for everything else it’s very intuitive to use in an habitat where all life depends on water. Cook this at 120: oh okay the recipe wants me to boil water I may not even need to measure the water because when it starts boiling that’s it.

    Having water as a reference is quite normal if you are going to need a scale for more than just forecasting weather, like, for everything else.



  • What’s the deal with confusing Open Source with Free Software Licences. It literaly says it in the wiki, this is a Free Software Licence not Open Source. Stop trying to change the meaning of things. I cannot believe google won with their Open Source washing and now everybody thinks Free Software is Open Source.

    They have completely different meanings in every aspect. Please stop falling for the Open Source washing term that corpos like so much and learn to differentiate them.
