Sea ice freezes at -1.8 Celsius in Iqaluit, that place the pope visited in Canada. As it happens the Anglicans have a cross made of narwhal tusks up there….
Strongly disagree with Ed on temperature. Fahrenheit is much more human scaled for weather temperature. We don't live or lives between 0 C and 100 C, we live them between -5 and 40 C. When it comes up weather, you're leaving half of the about scale on the ground. For weather, why do I care what the boiling temp of water is? I'd be long dead if the temp approached that
The left wing of the pro-life wing used to meet at 20th and Constitution to avoid the speeches. The last time I went, maybe 2000, we got together at Feminists for Life with Serrin Foster afterwards. Peta, Plagal, Dfla, Nchla. Maybe some others I don't remember.
People are primaruly made up of a cross between minute elements and water, according to a college class I took in Physical Chemistry, and freeze around o° Fahrenheit. When it starts to be around 100° people start having a problem with heat exhaustion. So Fahrenheit is a much better measurement for actual human life.
This is essentially what I can to comment. Zero degrees F is a very cold winter day, and 100 F is a very hot summer day. It's a very intuitive human measure of temperature. We use the whole two-digit range with great regularity.
Celsius is much worse--how often do we deal with temperatures approaching that at which water boils? It's too hot to occur in weather, and too cold for effective cooking/baking. 100 degrees C is an easy threshold to describe, but in daily life is almost useless. It's only helpful for water and nothing else.
SNL is usually a total waste of time (unlike the Pillar Podcast), but the recent episode featuring brilliant and clean Christian comedian Nate Bargatze has lots of fun skits, ESPECIALLY this one on George Washington’s vision of a United States of Measurement: https://youtu.be/JYqfVE-fykk?si=-td2GsJAThKacmbg
The podcast did a wonderful job of reviewing this priests life and death but leaving just the right amount of details for readers. RIP Father K’Okal. I will pray for you. Please pray for me.
I haven’t even gotten a chance to hear this week’s episode, but you had me at “Smoots”. Oh, winter walks over that bridge…
