On a day-to-day base it’s really just about what you’re being used to. Who cares about granularity in weather forecast? You get out of the shadow and it’s too hot for a jacket.
Also, weather is not the only daily use of tenperature, look at cooking and baking where younhave much higher temperatures and always go beyond 100°F.

The Fahrenheit scale has only one point of reference for people and that is not 100.

Fahrenheit (the scientist) determined 0° at the coldest stable temperature he could achieve with a mixture of water, ice and ammonium chloride, then set the mean healthy body temperature (as it was known at that time, modern measuring equipment is more precise) at 96° and then as a third reference set 32° as the freezing point of water.
The reference points were later changed to 32° for water freezing and 180° higher at 212° for water boiling due to Anders Celsius work and influence.

Everything about this looks just random and devoid of any logic. Celsius for his scale referenced the temperatures at which water changes state and Kelvin uses the Celsius scale but sets 0 at the point of literally no energy. Behind both is an idea easily to grasp.

I feel like its not so much civilian-oversight that’s antagonized but greedy politicians.

Partly, yes. But for the most part, the ones in favour of civilian oversight were only greedy politicians, and that was used to frame the whole idea. Also the pure thought of civilian oversight was ridiculed by the protagonists without it being contextualized as a point of debate or something. Remember, there was a whole episode about why the US Air Force was best to control the Stargate program instead of an international comittee.

where Weir is not a politician- she’s a scientist

No, Weir was a diplomat, peace activist and expert on international politics, not a scientist. Also, her appearance in SG1 marked a slight change in the show’s characterization of civil oversight.

Kinsey is one of my biggest points in this issue. For several seasons, he was the only or leading figure arguing for civil oversight, and when you let only one or a most prominent character represent an idea that character is how the show frames that idea.

I respectfully disagree. I am currently in a rewatch, and there are two major issues I now have with SG1 (and don’t ask me why it didn’t bother/I didn’t notice before): how much civil oversight over the military is antagonized and how often events or explanations are recapped in dialogue.
In Atlantis, Weir and Woolsey are really respectable civil leaders with authority over the expedition’s military and the relationship between military and civil personnel is much more balanced (plus every now and then it leads to interesting conflict).
Also, this frequent summaries and retelling is often a point of critique for more modern shows (“modern shows get made for second screens”). That happens much less in Atlantis.

Some always were. Others that were founded by people who actually just wanted to have a great time on a festival turned them into temples of capitalism

I don’t know if we have enough evidence to make such claims tbh. In our solar system, half the planets are rocks with a metal core (riffs playing in the background), the other half are gas giants. Among the gazillion moons though, there are some ice moons (like Titan and Europa), Venus only has no oceans because it is too hot, Mars has a volcanic past and may be warmer had it a thicker athmosphere and has polar ice caps, etc. There is a lot going on on these “barren rocks” and a lot of them being barren rocks could be due to them being located outside the goldilock zone.

Stargate: every planet is either desert or Canada.

I felt a different quote was the more fitting reference there: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/58822602

Also, I don’t know if the Genii are fascist. We don’tlearn a lot about them beyond being a military dictatorship posing as farmers.

Of course the planet’s systems can handle some degree of CO₂ emissions. But there are fields much harder to decarbonize than energy supply. Waste removal for example.

But insisting on a zero emissions solution is exactly what I would do if I were an oil and gas CEO.

How so?

Maybe you like this german shanty medley of football battle songs from a very punk football club then.

Because burning kills the climate. We need to eliminate it.

We don’t need nuclear. We have geothermal, hydro, solar, tidal and wind energy. Combine that with a decentralized approach, a well designed grid infrastructure and storage capacity, voilà. No need for neither fossile nor nuclear.

Everyone should be able to choose their own names. Because parents can screw up massively in that regard.

No, it’s a tragedy, not a joke. The tragedy of beauty standards in films, when even the supposed “ugly girls” are actually beautiful but the supposed “beautiful girls” set unrealistic expectations.

No. Darth Bane implemented the Rule of Two for two reasons, to ensure the Sith could stay under the Jedi’s radar and operate in secrecy, and to turn the infighting from a weakness into a strength.
Prior to Ruusan, the Sith’s greed and ambition often led to several weaker Sith plotting together to take down more powerful Sith in higher ranks. That meant that over time, positions of power were filled by weaker Sith then before, meaning the order bled itself out.
Bane though, as the sole surviving Sith after Ruusan, set up the Rule of Two so there was only one apprentice at a time who had to be more powerful than their master in oder to overpower said master, leading over time to stronger and stronger masters and the order again gaining strength to exact its revenge.

In german, space billionaires would be a single, combined noun (Weltraummilliardäre) while space billionaires would be two separate words, a verb and a noun (Milliardäre verteilen) or, in the spirit of the meme, even more words (Milliardäre in den Weltraum aussetzen/dem Weltraum aussetzen).

I mran, an aggressive Panda would be a dead giveaway that something’s off.

I’d wear this to Pride Parade. I really want this now.
