Here’s what I do to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. I just remember the following three things.

-40C = -40F; 10C = 50F; for every 5 degrees C, you add 9 degrees F.

So that means that 25C = 77F. and 40C = 104F, and 43C is about 110-ish F.

LinkedIn and Whatsapp.

I don’t care much for the “fediverse” as a concept, I just wanted a non-US alternative to reddit.

Let me take a bunch of acid and I’ll come back to you on this…

I would say that thinking includes the ability to generate novel ideas and the ability to reason. This ability to reason may include viewing a situation from another perspective than one’s self. An AI does not reason, it recognizes patterns in a huge dataset and generates output based on that.

Early millennial and for me the 90s were peak. To borrow from Hobsbawm, I think of that decade as the long 90s, starting on 9 November 1989 and ending on 11 September 2001.

Not US, but I was 24 in 2008. It was definitely an interesting time in many aspects. My dad was 24 in 1978 and that was also not great. And my grandfather was 24 in 1944. (also he was in Germany)

I too have been trying to make people laugh with damn near a dozen word jokes, but no pun in ten did.

It’s fine to change your mind. The world is to be understood through the lens of power and money, but that doesn’t mean that you have to agree with it. Assume good intentions. We’re all hypocrites to a certain extent and it’s okay. Be kind to yourself. You’re never too old to learn. Being right all the time gets you nowhere. It takes time to get good. Adopt a thankful mindset, even if you don’t believe in a higher power. Never give up. Say ‘yes’ more often. It’s your life and you’re in the driver’s seat. Live and let live. Worry less. Kämpfen bis zum Verrecken.

the value of art is in the act of creation

Yes. I have (once) spoken to a guy who killed multiple people. He died by getting shot himself and was just a violent person in general.

And just recently I learned that a former co-worker is a suspect in the death of his partner.

Iceland or Costa Rica, maybe?

Between 7 and 7.5 hours of actual sleep on average. I get in early and wake up early.

I thought I could kick a football with an ingrown toenail once. BAD idea.

No, my bedroom is off limits.

I’ve sold drugs to a minor. Not my proudest moment.

why not ask the question immediately, I don’t get this
