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

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..

The solution to that, I would think, is to smuggle in a non-metric
thermostat.
