Bloody Fahrenheit all I can quickly work out is how warmer or colder it is to the typical
temerature of developer I used which was 20C = 68f
So around 1C up or down is about 2f up or down around the 20C
but after about 10 C it gets a bit more difficult !
Why the USA and a few other remaining countries still us F , I don't really know,
maybe something to do with old dogs and new tricks.... :-)
F* Take degs C (say 10C)

A quick way -
F -> C
* Take degs F (let's say 100 because that's what it feels like here today)
* Subtract 30 (yes I know it's supposed to be 32 but this is something to do in your head) - 70
* Halve it - 35
* Add 10% (3.5 rounded however you want) = 38-ish.
(The 'real' answer is 37.7C)
Close enough for government work.
For our Trans-Atlantic/Pacific cousins who still use F, the other way is
F* Take degs C (say 10C)
* Double it - 20
* Take off 10% - 20-2 = 18
* Add 32 (or 30 if your mental gymnastic ability is getting old) = 50F
Easy! :-)

YMMV but in the UK the local groups can be very useful for things like
lost and found cats, dogs, and keys, information about road closures,
bus cancellations (a big thing at the moment since our local company
can't get enough drivers even without Covid, and some people rely on
them for getting to work or school). You may have other platforms.

I post my drone video work to this NG much as I did my photography, I thought it might be of some interest to somebody in the world of digital imagery/photography/videography. Unfortunately you seem to be more interested in the world of mind-fuckery.
I used Fahrenheit because that is how temperatures are reported here.Sometimes I might state both ºF and ºC sometimes not. If you have a problem with that I really don’t care.

On another NG someone claimed that 5 deg was twice as cold as 10 deg.
We all (well most of us) measure the focal lenght of lenses in mm , why don't we use inchs ?.
Penis size seems always to be quoted in inches.
As for the distance a drone travels should it be miles, KM or a Nautical mile.
As for a drones height feet or Metres is ok above the ground but quoting it above sea level
may give a false impression.
The there's drink, wine in ml, but beer and ale in pints in the UK anyway.
Coke in 250ml or 330ml cans.
Yesterday at home I was using old BA size screws so ~1.8mm diameter, today at work I have M8 which is 8mm
diameter, but our wood screws No.8 are about 4mm.

An interesting point is that seals are easily disturbed, in teh UK the public are asked to stay a certain distance from
them when viewing or taking photos, so a drone could be used I guess but you'd have to know something
about the sound levels at a certain distance you drone will make.
I wonder why instead of mm they don't just quote the FOV (in degrees) of
a lens.
Knowing that the lens of a smartphone has 5mm focal length tells me nothing.

So not entiley untrue, but related to horses.
Stephenson's Stockton and Darlington railway (S&DR) was built primarily to transport coal from mines near Shildon to the port at Stockton-on-Tees. The initial gauge of 4 ft 8 in (1,422 mm) was set to accommodate the existing gauge of hundreds of horse-

I'd have thought any strange noise would Startle them, most animals
have a sort of list of sounds from birth and some idea of how to react as flight or fright.
