Celsius is far more comprehensive because its most basic reference point is the freezing point of water (i.e. the most vital resource needed to sustain ourselves), which is zero degrees Celsius.


Farenheit's granularity and use of the number 64 is so fucking sexy though.

In Greek, the word for "Democracy" is "Democratia". In Greek, the word for "Republic" is "Democratia". As you can see, "Democracy" and "Republic" are both "Democratica". This leaves me to wonder how the populations of Greece and Cyprus discuss American politics

I've seen both res publica and politeía used as stop-gaps. Aren't you part Greek, shouldn't you know this?

I just had a training the other day about how I and everyone I work with are big targets but at least usually it’s ok because we still get the other dudes killed

Also I demolished half a bottle of tequila in a very short amount of time and I’m mildly hungover
