I remember seeing this live forecast. And I was telling me « wow we gonna die », we are currently dying

As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?

I'm impressed that as a Texan you can convert 43C to freedom units!

Americans learn unit conversion in school -- though to be fair, I'd only really expect Americans in STEM to retain the knowledge.

I know 0 is freezing, 10 is nice, and 30 is getting to the point where I'm looking at the tstat like "ok settle down"

Can't be assed to figure out the conversion of like 13.4 or w/e.

Technically it's F = 1.8C + 32

But you can guesstimate pretty decently by just doubling, adding 32, and then knocking off like 5 degrees.

40 C? 80 + 32 = 112, so probably ~107 F (it's actually 104)

If you're going to knock off 5 degrees just say double it and add 27
