  • 32F is 0C, from there every 9F is 5C. Increase the digit on the left, decrease the digit on the right for every 5°C. So 41F=5C, 50F=10C, 59F=15C, etc. Then I approximate each 2 degrees F as 1 degree C, so for example if it is 13°C outside, than is close to 15°C, which is 59°C, and I subtract 4, which gives me 55°F. This is just how I do it, not sure if it helps.

    Someone here suggested multiplying by 2, add 32, and someone else said multiply by 2, add 30. I don’t know if this complicates it more, but what you can do is multiply by 2, add 32, and subtract 2 times the first digit, assuming that the number is 2 digits. So for example, let’s say the temperature is -21°C. Multiply by 2, and you get -42, add 32, that is -10, and then subtract 2(-2), and that’s -6°F.

    For converting from F to C, you could adapt this method. Subtract 32, divide by 2, and add the first digit of the answer rounded to the closest tens place. So if we have 83°F, we subtract 32 to get 51, divide by 2 and that’s 25.5, add 3 and that’s 28.5°C.

    Also sometimes some numbers are easy to convert, such as -40°, and there is also that 3.9°C=39°F, although these probably aren’t that useful.







  • How are women treated in the DPRK? What about healthcare for women? Is abortion legal? And on healthcare in general, is it free? Are there limitations on the jobs that women do, possibly because of cultural norms? How about representation in the legislatures?

    Does the dprk focus on science, and are they making innovations that perhaps the west does not know of? What about math, are there mathematicians in the DPRK and what do they research.

    What about technology? Do they still use redstar os or is there a new one, or do they use western systems? Also do they have something like TikTok?

    And others have asked this but what about music? A lot of music I can find from the dprk is genuinely really good but do they make music that isn’t about their country?


  • Damn, some of the comments under the article give off i-am-adolf-hitler.

    antisemitism

    Lots of comments didn’t care or were supportive of the neo-nazis, some of them said shit about “bolshevik jews” killing 60 million people, and of course there was the typical conspiracies of jews controlling the world. What the fuck. It really sucks that a lot of people are rightfully angry at Israel but then literally denying the holocaust and equating jews with zionism, and denying that antisemitism exists.
