        that’s when it starts to get ‘cold’. before that, it’s just a ‘little chilly’.

          I know this is a joke but as a Minnesotan I think right around -15°F (-26°c) is where it starts to get ‘cold’. This is where the air really begins to sting your face and people have issues starting their vehicles.

            am a native and lived there most my life. only had problems with my piece-of-shit cars when it got colder than -20F or so. block heater (on a timer) and a newish-battery and they always started, though, even during that record cold snap (-60F).

          -40 is fucking freezing in C 😂. Should be even worse in F 😂.

            The worst part is that vodka freezes right in the plastic cups. It’s not fun to drink vodka with icy mush.

              🤔 🤣… ummm… i’ve drank wine half frozen wine from a cup at -30C 🤣… not fun, but it kept us warm that night 🤣. too bad we didn’t have vodka at 3AM 🤣.

              I think we drank like 10L of wine that night 🤣. Vodka would’ve been more efficient 🤣.

      Rankine is based? The same way pound-mol and 1000th of an inch are based?

      AT THAT POINT, WHY NOT JUST USE METRIC o_0

      I bite my thumb at Rankine, sir.

          C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.

            They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.

              That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?

        Ah yes just rolls off the tongue. Totally the same as, an increment of one is equal in both.

      Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

      And 0 Kelvin and 0° Rankine are three same temperature.

          It’s still technically defined based on its relationship to Fahrenheit, just like Kelvin was with Celsius until the 60s.
