We've not had anything like a Spring here, cool southerlies and overcast has dominated. Bummer. We used to have springs like that prior to global warming. Now it gets warm and sunny from the middle of March, hot throughout the summer, and warm and dry in the fall. We love global warming here. Max |

Look out the window...southerly and overcast....right? Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace, We've been expecting you. And it's bloody hot in Adelaide too. i was able to back out of going into wild country this last couple of weeks, didn't think i'd come back if I did. I finally worked out what 51C is in fahrenheit and wished I hadnt. -- Flying Tadpole ---------------------------------- http://www.soundclick.com/flyingtadpole http://music.download.com/timfatchen http://music.download.com/internetopera |

Max If indeed the climate is changing, which is highly likely as that's all it's done for the past 50-60,000 years, may it go warm, not cool. One can adapt to tropical, and there's plenty of water. But if the glaciers and ice sheets were to come back, it's desert time for all. Me, I think it would be nice to see Vinland growing vines again. -- Flying Tadpole ---------------------------------- www.flyingtadpole.com |

At a 133degrees what esle could it be but Dry |

Mine says 51C = 123.8F I just thought of something. Probably Tom doesn't know how to use a calculator even if he has one. ;-0 So, for Tom and other dummies it can be figured out on paper pretty easy. F = 9/5C + 32. 9/5 x 51 = 91.8 91.8 + 32 = 123.8. See, I learned *something* in school. Cheers, Ellen |

Oh Yes I Have Edgar,
On top of a 600# Stm. Blr. Servicing Steam Pots on a Bailey Steam meter. Those were younger years though. Great way to handle a "Hang-over" Ole Thom |

"katy" wrote How to google equations? I didn't have to google that one. I've got it memorized. It's good to know it. Most of the countries use centigrade. Fahrenheit is better because it makes more sense and it has more degrees between freezing and boiling. So you just gotta know the equation by heart so you can understand what foreigners are talking about. Cheers, Ellen |

Katy,
Glad you responded. I didn't / wouldn't reply to a Sock puppet. You're both right but it plain to see that you have never dealt with those kind of temperature up real close in actual working condiitions. In reality you have to do them in you head and often right now. 9/5 or 5/9+32 doesn't lend itself to rapid Calc. If you take that 9/5 and convert it to 2 rather than 1and 4/5 then 51 is a very quick conversion to a 100 or a 101+32. A real sailor's way of converting radio weather reports internationally to from C to F without putting a Mike down or leaving a Helm. 5 degrees difference in 128 is a very small error I can live with and no calculator or paper necessary. It a trick sailor's and boiler room firemen have been using for years. Try it. It is a good way to talk Temp with your Canadian friends, And by the way, I can also do the formular conversion in my head but its slower but not as slow as getting a calculator and setting up. Thank you for giving me a chance to reply to "Nellen" about practical sailor's solution. Neal never need to use things like that at Anchor. |

"Charlie Morgan" wrote Fahrenheit makes more sense? What could be more concise than a system that sets water freezing at ZERO and Boiling at 100? Farenheit is about as obtuse and inscrutable as it can get. More degrees between freezing and boiling? Holy CRAP, you are an imbecile. Sticks and stones...... You just don't have a leg to stand on here, Mr. Puff-and-Strut. Who said anything about *concise* besides your own self? I said Fahrenheit makes more sense. And, it does. Water boils at 212 and it freezes at 32. Subtract. You get 188 degrees. That's almost twice as many degrees as you get in Centigrade degrees. That means it's more descriptive. Your measuring with a finer instrument. It's like having half sizes in shoes. You get a better fit when you have half sizes. Duh! Cheers, Ellen |

Katy or anybodyin ASA,
Don't turn the Salker in. I believe that's what he wants me to do; Turn in a sock-puppet. DON'T DO IT! Nellen will probably be getting abuses, don't let him have his way TIA Ole Thom |

"Charlie Morgan" wrote By the way, being concise often helps you make sense. Then you should try it because your not making much sense...... You give some silly umpteen decimal place temperature and then you say convert it and the calculator will round it off. Duh. That should tell you something. It means after a couple places to the left of the decimal those numbers don't really matter. So, why bother? Now, if I decided to do it on paper I could carry it out to a bazillion decimal places. But why? Ain't no way a person can tell the difference in even a tenth of a degree. Why bother with a bazillionth? Cheers, Ellen Cheers, Ellen |

"Charlie Morgan" wrote You were the one claiming Farenheit was more precise because it had more interval markers. I just showed you why you are wrong. Excuuuuusse me????? I'm not as dumb as you think, Mr. know-it-all. Your putting words in my mouth again... I said it makes more sense and it was more descriptive. Duh! Got a reading comprehension problem? Show me where I ever said anything about *precise* and I'll admit you got me. But you can't because I never so your the one whose wrong. :-o~ Cheers, Ellen |
