Fallout London – Flavour of the Week!



(13) The local canning factory has some interesting new products, and labor disputes.

  1. Fahrenheit is the only Imperial measurement that I will defend to the death, temperature should be based on feeling, 0*F absolutely sucks but it is bearable, 100*F absolutely sucks but again is bearable. 0*C is just a pretty cold day, 100*C is just DEATH, practically unlivable temperature.

  2. To answer your question of "why"
    The Pound used to be literal pounds of silver.
    1/240th of a pound is 1/15th of an ounce. You also missed the half, third, and quarter-pence coins which were copper coins for fractions of the silver penny. Also the 2-pence, half grot, 4-pence, 5-pence, and grot. Not to mention the gold half-crown, which was ~100 pence; the gold half-crown-laurel, which was was 120 pence; about 20 other gold coins between the half-crown and the crown, which of course was 200 pence; the Crown-Laurel, which was worth one pound sterling, and the tripple crown laurel, which was worth 3 pounds of silver.
    There's also a 12-pence coin that I can't remember the name of right now.

  3. Today, Zach kills someone's dogs, buys one of the remaining ones, then successfully de-unionizes a factory. Although that made him feel guilty, so he instead started a bidding war for who wouldn't be murdered by him 🙂

  4. In defence of "our fair nation" we decimalised our currency eventually (15 February 1971). Now each pound sterling (£) is one hundred pence (p). Coins are commonly 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 pence and £1 or £2. Notes are £5, 10, 20 and much less commonly the £50.

  5. dogfood is people…that explains why Zach got addicted to it!

    celsius us not stupid, with celsius you actually know when below zero, is actually below zero. not that mamry fahrenheit where 0 degrees is the be al en al even though temperatures go lower then 0 degrees fahrenheit!

  6. Fahrenheit makes sense for general temperature. Its the temperature range a human can feasibly live in. Celsius is just the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water thats it. Kelvin is for chemistry and physics 0 being a absolute vacuum and lack of any heat whatsoever. 100 Kelvin is still absurdly cold with 300 being like 80F

  7. Celsius is a fine temperature grade… when working with water. But dispite being mostly made of water, humans don't freeze solid at 0C, and we will never experience a summer day at 100C, so the fact that the 2 phase change temperatures are at convenient numbers means absolutely nothing to humans who just need to know the conditions outside. For that, Fahrenheit makes way more sense. Broadly speaking, 0F is very cold, and 100F is very hot. I've had pushback on that statement in the past, obviously places get hotter and colder than that, but i think most people would agree to that statement. Its basically a scale from 0-100. 0 is heavy coat and hat, 100 is shorts, tank top, and likely sun screen lol. You can figure out what you need based on that alone

  8. @mikeburnfire been watching your vids since the first 100 new vegas episodes and I really enjoyed you and Anne playing skyrim I know they didnt do as well as your standard Mike+Zack vids any intention of maybe doing streams with you Anne, and Zack maybe his lady in Coop games and uploading the streams to Youtube?

  9. celsius: boiling point of water: 100c. Freezing part of water: 0c. every step of 20 is a clear new level of (dis) comfort -> 20c, nice room temp, 40c: very hot but managable, 60c unbearable, 80c: you will be slowcooked, 100c you will die of burns all over, -20 very cold but managable, -40c exactly the same as -40f (survivable with kit) -60c: you will die in 5 minutes if not kitted out to the nines, -80c you will die no matter what within a a minute -100c the moisture in your breath will turn into iciles in your lungs and your own blood will cut your veins because they turn into crystals

    it's very fun

  10. I've heard it put this way before and I think it's one of the best descriptors for temperatures.
    Fahrenheit is used to describe temperatures relevant to humans, Celsius is used to describe temperatures relevant to science and Kelvin is used to describe temperatures relevant to complex science.

  11. Take no sh-t from people from the UK who mock how the US uses the imperial system. First of all, they did it first, we inherited it. Secondly, we were supposed to get a new set of weights from France for a system called metric, but British privateers intercepted the transport and stole everything, so we had to standardize with the imperial system the Brits left us.

  12. As someone with dyscalculia, celcius temperatures do not translate well to the real world for me. If you tell me the current temperature in celcius, I can remember it, but as soon as that temperature changes I'm completely lost.
    Now in science, in a controlled environment, where precise measurements are needed, and you have a thermometer at all times, yeah I can keep track of that.
    It would take me YEARS of living with celcius to become familiar with it. Possibly a decade.

    Also, funny thing, I remember that 30c is roughly 80f. I learned that because of an episode of Codename Kids Next Door. So that's a benchmark I can remember.

  13. At least celcius has even boiling point

    i don't know if Fahrenheit does even numbers cause out of 195 officially recognized countries only 3 use the imperial system, rest is metric
    and even than they use metric in labs.

    imperial is simply outdated and goes aganist standardization.
