No, what I want to say with that is, that we want to stick with the way to measure stuff as we are used to it. And since you think that °F is unquestionable better than °C, because it is more precise, I thought of creating a new unit, let me call it °J. And this 1°J is exactly 0,1°C. So °J would obviously be more precise than °F. Would you now switch to °J because it's more precise?Dealer of Death wrote:
Actually, yes. You like Kal, are now moving the goalposts, you are no longer comparing F to C, you are comparing F to tenths of C. Simply, F IS more precise than C, dividing C does not change that. It merely changes the argument to F vs tenths of C. You shouldn't need to use digits beyond the decimal Point for weather.

if no one can tell the difference between 517J and 525J, the benefits of precision is lost.

Well, whenever I encounter a temperature in °F, that's the same for me. I then open Google and look it up. But with °J, I wouldn't need to, but you would need to. And can you tell the difference between 125,06 °F and 126,5 °F?Dealer of Death wrote:

... But what do you mean with "Dimensional coordinate arrays". I mean, I know that an array is a variable in IT, which basically contains many variables. But that has nothing to do with °C, so please explain what you mean.

Once again you move the goalposts here, I am talking about speaking the written 1.5 or 1, 5 dollars as if you had to read the written aloud.Kalrakh wrote:
Thinking about the topic, I realised, that my versions are probably to old school. People these days would just say "One fifty" or "Nine Ninety-nine", so neither point nor comma.
However in spoken language I would probably prefer to say: "One point five k" to refer to 1500, because I am a minimalist and one syllabel is more convenient than two syllabels.
In the hand written version on the other hand I would likely prefer a comma, because it is visually more easily distinguishable than a point.
Freezing point and boiling point have nothing to do with science. Freezing point is the point where the streets are most likely end up being frozen over night and is therefore important for example driving and boiling point is kind of important for cooking, there is hardly any other more daily task than that.
"Plus it makes things a lot more relatable with a scale that has over 100 usable degrees to differentiate temp rather than 40."
No idea in which context outside of science that would even matter. Getting told the water in the pool has currently 10° celsius is for me far more relatable than getting told it has 50° Fahrenheit.
This is so unbelievable inane, I can't believe you said it, as normally I have great respect for a majority of your posts. Chemistry, Physics, ENgineering, Materials Science are all highly involved with Freezing point and boiling points.
And cooking is not weather.

I am not moving the goal post, I was never talking about such a limited. I prefer to look for the topic as a whole and not cherry pick.
If in a book it is written 1.5 you say: One point five, if it were written 1,5 you would say: One comma five. So I don't see what your point is.
If you read something, that is written, you read it, as it is written. For me as a german "Eins Komma Fünf" just sounds fluent than "Eins Punkt Fünf", might be a reason why some nations prefer the comma.
I am talking about freezing point of water how people use it everyday. I let it sound, like those two are only important for science. I just meant, that those words are not limited to being used in scientific circumstances. Maybe you should take not everything so literally sometimes.
How ever I also adressed your limited weather perspective.

Yeah thanks for HiJacking my post where i was complaining about excessinve use of nervrobbing Godl features.
I mean i am fine with Godl optiosn you can counter as a normal player.
Such as: Building trillions of units and throwing them before my railguns as breakfast...
..but "hand of god" sucks!

The thing that annoys me the most re using gold is healing units in the middle of a battle. My aircraft strike .. dang, stack has little bit left. Next trip - dang! stack back at full health. *sigh*kurtvonstein wrote:

I also don't like the reveal all troops, for two reasons. First, knowledge is power in war, and that gives a crap ton (metric or standard) of power. Second, you have no way of knowing it has been used against you which equals yet more power for the other side.
