68-80 are similar temps. I'm comfy at both. I wear the same thing outdoors at both temps.
I'm sorry you don't I guess and are offended that someone else is different than you.
20-30 is easier to understand than 68-80 for most people (obviously there's an exception)
Yes, 68 to 80 are somewhat similar. I obviously meant 68-86.
But 68-80 IS similar, and it's exactly why F is better, because we have the 70-80 band. But that's exactly the point, 68 and 86 are NOT similar temps, hence being in separate 80-90 band.
Yes obviously.
If you read the discussion that you were actually having to me, we were obviously talking about 20-30c, which is 68-86F. And it was mentioned several times in this thread. And the context of my reply made it abundantly clear I meant 68-86
Yes I mistyped 80vs86. but that percentage of 100 is similar enough that I can't really tell the difference.
I was agreeing that 68 and 86 are both T-shirt weather. Still is to most folks. I get it you're not most folks.
I'm imagining your place as just filled with coats and thermometers that you care about this to such an extent.
Oh, thought you were being sarcastic.
But are you seriously saying you can't tell the difference between 68 and 86? That's absolutely absurd
Yes I live in San Francisco, I have several coats.
My thermostat and my phone. So "full"
Correct I literally can't tell the difference. That's 100% what I'm saying. (Yeap that was sarcasm)
I'm saying 68 and 86 are both T-shirt weather. And 20-30 is more meaningful to me than 68-86. That's it. That's all.
Of course it is, because 68-86 is just the translation. No one would actually use that range. But that's my whole point, 60-70 and 70-80 are better, more meaningful ranges
Meaningful to you. not to most folks.
After all that you're fine with "eh it's just translation." then why not try a system that has some meaning to it at all instead of arbitrary numbers. At least that's what literally everyone else is saying to you in the comment section.
And hey you can decide 20-25 is not T-shirt weather for yourself and 25-30 is. Crazy right?
