I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

I like how this directly goes against the argument of Fahrenheit being more “graded” with integers lol

About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that’s about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.

No worries, and glad you learnt something!

I don’t know whether this is a joke or not (Poe’s law and all), so I will assume this is a genuine question:

Because they were about to say Czechoslovakia, I’d assume. The country that hasn’t existed anymore for a long time.

edit: grammar fix

I don’t see how your example is ‘funny’. That’s what you expect to get. -5² is -25. (-5)² = 25.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.
