    That F is zeroed out on fucking Brine makes it the most absurd thing.

    Like OK there may be an argument for base 12 or base 16 (but not both)… But a mixture of water, ice, and sodium chloride?

    Like OK blame a German I guess , but at least they were smart enough to decide, “Das ist stupid”

      C is pretty made up too. Why water, and why sea level? Don’t complain about F if you aren’t using K, where zero actually means zero. Anything else is just picking arbitrary points that you like for one reason or another.
