don't forget the lack of the metric system!
That one is fun because you concede most of it but then win an argument that fahrenheit is better (Celsius and fahrenheit are both arbitrary but at least fahrenheit scales itself so the range most people use daily, weather, is 0-100)
That is not what I mean. I mean in daily life, most temperatures will fall in that range. That does not mean every day you see them all.
Not at all. I have lived in two different time zones where I'm dealing with subzero Celsius temperatures for several months of the year.
I think he's missing the important part of that 0-100 scale.. It marks fairly decently what isn't safe for people without proper precautions. I've gone out below freezing and while it isn't pleasant by any mean, you aren't super fucked until you get super low. Likewise, get above 100 and it quickly stops becoming safe for humans without frequent breaks and such
