Which means it is a quarter of the way from freezing to boiling!
Celsius = % from freezing (0) to boiling (100).
The actual temperature = Fahrenheit − 32:
E.g., 77 °F -32 = 45°E (“Elevatus”, elevate

Another useful relationship—
Celsius can be considered the percentage of degrees from freezing

Last night on Bostonʼs WBZ (1.030 MHz), “NightSide With Dan Rea”
had Brent Maynard, a local metric system proponent, on for an hour.

Ah, if it is based on radius, shouldnʼt it be half-pi,
1.570796..., as that is the arc length *equivalent* (right word?)
of the plane

Question—why donʼt they take this opportunity to redefine the base unit from kg
to g:
h = 6.62607015×10^−34 J⋅s,
= 6.62607015×10^−34 kg⋅m^2⋅s^−1,
↓↓ ↓
= 6.62607015×10^−37 g⋅m^2⋅s^−1;

I just saw a TV ad for the Payday candy bar that quoted its size in cm, just as a

I'm not sure if it is the same one, as this one is from 2017, but even if it is not,

I think part of the problem in the US of metrication is
conversional magnitude.
