Guest Drew P Pissflaps Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've read the book, Bad Science by Ben Goldacre and it demonstrates a good point. People don't know what they're fucking on about. The following quote from Sky News demonstrates this wonderfully, "The mercury hit an eye - watering 46.6C (115.9F) in the Spanish town of El Granado on Saturday, falling just 0.3C (32.5F) shy of a national high and 1.4C (34.5F) away from a continental record" This thick ignorant shitwad has obviously been told to convert C to F by doubling and adding 31.9, or thereabouts. And fair enough, for converting one to the other it's close enough. But for expressing differences in a range it fucking most definitely isn't. If you work out the maximum continental record it's 46.6C + 1.4C = 48C, now convert to F, (48 × 2) + 31.9 = 128F. This is a difference of 12.1F not 34.5F you stupid fucking pricks. This must be the most boring nom. ever for which I offer no apologies as I'm confident that Baws, Roops and Ape will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Farthing Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Don't bother adding the 32 (not 31.9) its not relevant in this. 1c is actually 1.8f you only add the 32 on when making the first calculation i'e. converting c to f so actually 0.3c is about 0.5f. So its even worse than you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't everyone just use Kelvin? Kelvin temperature conversion formulae from kelvins to kelvins Celsius [°C] = [K] − 273.15 [K] = [°C] + 273.15 Fahrenheit [°F] = [K] × 9⁄5 − 459.67 [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5⁄9 Rankine [°R] = [K] × 9⁄5 [K] = [°R] × 5⁄9 For temperature intervals rather than specific temperatures, 1 K = 1 °C = 9⁄5 °F = 9⁄5 °RComparisons among various temperature scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lord McCunty Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The easiest way they could get round this is not converting to bloody F. We are a metric country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
