On my way back from Toronto, yesterday, the outside temp gauge in my

well, it's 59, but who's counting?

Metric is great for wrenches and sockets.. I hate fractions..
Oh.. and we set the AC in the bedroom to 30c at night..


Problem is that your body can pretty well detect 1 degree F differences.
Unfortunately 1 degree C is about 2 degrees F, so unless your thermostat
gives you 1/2 degree C setting increments, it's not hard to have a
significant discomfort factor because you can't tune the temperature as
finely.

For sure.... Unfortunately, metric controls are what we get in Mexico..

Some nights during the summer, 30 isn't getting the job done and 29 is a little
chilly... I'd really prefer F over C for AC..
