Quoth ComputerNecromancer View PostFor future reference:
9 F is -13 C (-12.777777)
0 F is -18 C (-17.777777)
Does anyone know what it is? Hint: It's below zero on both scales.Last edited by Ree; 02-16-2014, 06:36 PM.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

Quoth Crossbow View PostAnything productinve they try will just end up completely FUBARed.
The repo story reminds me at the time I worked at the bank. I was working in the auditing department, and it somehow came up that one of the loan applications we were going through, had run into some problems. Seems the recipient of said loan ran into some financial trouble, and couldn't decide whether to make payments on his new car...or his house.
At least the loan department manager put it this way: "Sir, where would you rather live? Would you rather live in a Buick sedan, or a three-bedroom farmhouse? If you don't pay your mortgage note, you'll be living in that Buick." To most of us, it would have been pretty obvious. Not this guy. He thought about it a few minutes then replied "Nobody's ever pointed it out that way before."

Quoth mjr View PostThere is a temperature in ºF and in ºC that is the same in both scales.

When it's springtime in Alaska, it's 40 below

Those rolling-thermometer/clock thingies outside banks, the ones that go from Fahrenheit to Celsius to the time....
If they went Fahrenheit to Celsius to Kelvin...... wonder if anyone would notice?Last edited by Ree; 02-17-2014, 09:09 PM.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

Anyone in the medical field run into a situation where Generals and Admirals had normal readings if the thermometer was calibrated in any one of 3 of the scales mentioned in this thread, but showed a fever if it was calibrated in the 4th scale? Using the same thermometers, Lieutenants would show either a normal reading on all 4 scales, or a fever on all 4 scales.
After all, you'd expect Generals and Admirals to have high Rankine temperatures.Last edited by Ree; 02-17-2014, 09:05 PM.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
