Idk “account tenure” sounds like “if you signed up when we first opened in 2015 we prolly don’t need an id”

But what do i know

Yeah I’ve had mine for roughly the same time. It’s kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you’ve climbed under the covers.

And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.

Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn’t probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I’m in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it’s based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can “see” the object moving from the signal strength changes.

Oh apparently to use it myself I’d need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.

I sort of knew some of this, I think, but definitely not all of it, nor as succinctly.

Thanks!

I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e27 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.

But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.

Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.

I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.

Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

I mean the video is from before 2016 (as that’s when Stephen left QI) and in the part where they’re saying that, they’re quoting something which was already a quote, and it begins with “many years ago…”

Yeah unfortunately for you I think the post is bullshit. People die on planes all the time. I mean, enough for airlines to have protocols for it.

They used to just put people in first class seats with shades and a newspaper but apparently that was “insensitive”.

I mean theres no objectivity to the way we describe the universe anyway

You’re going all in the self-delusing. If there’s no objectivity, then how come we can launch shit to other planets? Why does that tech work?

A meter is more less a yard. Ever heard the term “yard-stick”? Ofc you have, and you know what it means, but you’ll pretend not to.

I’ll tell you that I’m klorknon gribbits tall and that is not objective, because it’s just some bullshit I just made up. Like the bullshit you keep making up to not have to learn the measuring system the entire rest of the world uses.

Feets and pounds are nowadays objective, as they’re based on metric standards, which have been strictly objectively defined, no matter what sophistry you want to wave around about how no measuring system is arbitrary since you don’t understand it.

A second is exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

And here’s the dictionary definition for “objective”.

objective

adjective

: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations

Your “b-b-but it’s a closer to human-scale scale actually much better cause cooking temps and 0 temps don’t matter” is affected by your personal feelings that Fahrenheit is somehow “more human-scale”, whatever the fuck that means.

That’s the problem; you’re not actually pitching anything. You’re badly rationalising why your personal preference would be objectively better, and labeling it in a pseudointellectual bullshit that doesn’t make any sense.

Edit oh and don’t get “heated” then…?

closer with human-scale temps

So you just never cook anything? Because if you cook, your scale is longer. You have to heat your oven to 350+ degrees, whereas I’m just putting it to 180. So the scale is actually “aligned closer with human-scale temps” whatever your brainfart can be interpreted to mean.

we spend 90% of our lives wandering around in a fairly narrow range of temperatures

You do. You. Just like you think your brainfart is in anyway an improvement instead of just silly rambling without any sense whatsoever.

I have never once cared about the actual temperature of that reaction

Because you don’t live in Peru or the bottom of the sea, so you don’t have to, because you know it’s always pretty much exactly 100 for you.

A person with a stroke could’ve written your comment and it would be none the better.

Not one of your arguments holds any water; Centrigrade is a smaller scale, and a more logical one. Standing naked outside, most people would have a fairly good guess on when it’s near or below 0c. Or as English actually says “freezing.” You couldn’t even tell 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Literally most people in the world have never even experienced such a temperature. I have. I’ve also experienced -40 (where they meet.)

How many days a year do you spend in 0f?

Because in my country being below zero is more common than not. Both C and F, moreso C though, as “it’s closer to a human scale”.

So F is wider, cooking temps are double that of anything in double digits, no-one can even tell where 0f is and 100f is very much not close to the warmest things we handle in our daily lives.

0-100c is quite simple. Over or under, don’t touch with bare skin. (For non cooks stay below 60c though or you’ll burn yourself)

But I don’t need to argue. The works decided long ago.

And I bet that room has its own thermostat, fuel, and doesn’t reach that temperature without human input.

I don’t manage to see your point. If the point is “you can’t live in places which are hotter the average body temp”, then should I point you towards Australasia? Also, in my last apartment, I didn’t have a sauna, but I did have a kitchen that was constantly above 40 and topped out my 52c meter in my kitchen.

considered on a common use scale?

Only an American things measuring things in average horse blood temperature vs when water boils at sealevel is a “common use scale”.

A “common” use scale for you less metrically abled; “fucking freezing”, “freezing”, “cold”, “cool”, “okay”, “a bit warm” “too hot” “fucking scorching”.

The hottest recorded temperature on earth is 56°C

You mean the hottest ambient temperature measured not from direct sunlight. Yeah, maybe. Still a bit more than our body temp, no?

water’s boiling point can vary wildly on Earth.

Yeah, but 100c doesn’t. It’s always the temperature at which pure water boils at sea level.

If I forget to check the altitude I could mistakenly think my boiling teapot is at 100°C instead of 68°C.

Sure yeah, you sound like a guy who might have a problem like that. Luckily for you, kettles don’t actually have thermostats set to 100c. They shut off when the water is boiling, despite the temperature. So people like you have been accounted for, rest assured. Nor will you be needing to make any thermometers either.

quirks of your appliances

So you microwave shit and then think temp doesn’t matter? I don’t really “appliances”. Is a grater an appliance? A manual one? Knives a few pans, ingredients. Thermometer. Perhaps if you’ve actually been doing a dish for 20 years perfectly you can forget about but it but it’s an absolute must for most kitchen professionals; good measuring instruments. A scale and a thermometer, mainly. Don’t really need anything else. Don’t even need that to cook, obviously. But because of the “quirks of your appliance”, you probe your meat, to meet the right temp. Damn I made myself hungry. Well I got some moose in the freezer.

That’s why many recipes give hints on target texture or look (crispy, soft, golden brown…). But yes if you want a very specific

What’s way more important in cooking is actually the measuring than thinking you can just throw it together and wait until it turns whatever the description wants. If you want it good, you’ll measure it to the gram and use the correct temp. Which is a bit above our body temp again, but guess “cooking” isn’t included in “common use scale”?

Humans are endothermic, which means being somewhere hotter than us is Not Good™️.

Endothermic refers to the ability of the organism to regulate it’s temperature, not just the ability to generate heat, but also to cool itself down. We humans are so good at it, that we can literally just jog prey down in hot environments and pretty much all animals will overheat before we do.

Hell, in my apartment there’s a room especially for making it very hot and humid. Even above 100c, and I still don’t boil. Weird, huh?

cooking temps generally don’t require much prevision

Alright. Sure. Yeah. Why not. /s

I download youtube shorts I want to share so people don’t have to sully their histories with shorts

Now we eat them on such a regular basis that if you’re ever asking someone what eating something unknown is like, you’ll often get “tastes kind of like chicken” as a reply.

I genuinely bought my brother a painting which said that just the year before it came a meme and I felt such a Karen though I wasn’t even 30

Fair enough. Makes much more sense.

I have. I thought it was replaced with a newer console. The comment doesn’t specify “crt tv” and it would be weird if that’s how one would refer to tvs of that age. Having nes is much morr specific than just having a TV.

NES isn’t a CRT tv though.

No, but there is a lot of photographs about him if you want to go the others way.

Boomer? Boi I’m almost 40, a millenial, and this hits me right in the laughter because of how right it is
