    I must remember to make iced !coffee based on the current temperature, not the calendar. At 18℃ (64℉) outside, it's just making me shiver.

      @bkuhn yeah, the temp this year has been weird.

      @bkuhn Thanks for including the measurement system used by 98.5% of countries. Can't believe how often I hear "You don't use #Fahrenheit?!"

      @ossguy, I have been trying to learn ℃ for about a year; I have it displayed next to ℉ on my desktop to get used to it. Slowly getting there

      @bkuhn Unless you're doing vertical writing in e.g. Japanese, ℃ and ℉ are deprecated in favor of °C and °F!

      @bkuhn After moving to #NYC, my brain has resorted to "86F is 30C, 95F is 35C, 104F is 40C; scale accordingly"

      @spacehobo,you seem to know everything about #Unicode! Did you help draft specification? Anyway, I know who to ask about it, at least! :)

      @spacehobo, anyway, I like ℃ &℉ for denting as they are only 1 character! 140 chars is never enough. :)

      @bkuhn I admit I anticipated your rationale ☺ Not involved in the #unicode spec, merely an interested observer.

      @mjjzf, well, yesterday, I discovered my own rule: 20℃ is the cut-off line for iced !coffee. My goal is to have ℃ as my default, eventually.

      @bkuhn alas, #identica drops unicode outside the BMP, or I'd shock you with obscene hieroglyphs!

      @bkuhn There is, of course, the added bonus that it is the scale equivalent of the Kelvin scale, so once you have Celsius, you get Kelvin...

    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Morten Juhl-Johansen Zölde-Fejér

      @mjjzf, I prefer Kelvin as my default in the winter. It never really feels that cold when you're saying: "But it's 266 degrees out there!"

      @bkuhn Very noble. I should learn #Fahrenheit while here to be fair. In case you need #NYC °C: http://theweathernetwork.com/weather/usny0996

    • Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn Denver Gingerich

      @ossguy, well, not doing it for nobility. ℃ just makes more sense than ℉. Same reason I switched to 24-hour-clock in my 20s.

      @bkuhn: I like K.

      @bkuhn One suggestion I've tried is to switch entirely to ℃ so your body re-acquaints what it feels with the #.

      @fontana you mean outdated and obsolete? </troll>

      @bkuhn if you use Kelvin, C become easy.
