The #temperature in #Tehran reached 95° #Fahrenheit, but Arash* kept working in his #lab. It’s full of filament #tools and #3D #printers that he uses to produce #Iranian #Shahed-136 #drones — but tiny ones, only 15 cm long.
His #customers don’t send them into #battle. They put them on shelves, desks and #display cases.

Bookstores named for books, stories, characters, or poems
Listed below are existing bookstores (and one comic book store) around the globe whose name is based on or reflects a book title, a story, a character, or a poem. The names are based on personal knowledge, collected through a search of bookstores on google.com, as well as by utilizing gemini.google.ai.
Source: thriftbooks.com Source: en.wikipedia.orgAs can be seen by the list, the word “Raven” derived from Edgar Allen Poe’s famous poem is the most commonly utilized name for bookstores in this category with 14 examples when including “Nevermore.” “Fahrenheit” from Fahrenheit 451 has five, which followed by “Ulysses” and variations of “Argonaut” which tied in third place with four examples each.
Every populated continent is represented on the list except Africa. As always, any additions, suggestions, or corrections are most welcome.
Peace…and Happy Father’s Day!

# batteries
With all the technology we have, you still need to power down a device in order to have it's {lipo} batteries charged at relatively controllable temperatures.
That's the reason why removable batteries are a logical thing. That is also the reason why I do not understand from the perspective of fire safety, that volatile power units are permanently sealed in devices.
I have a few obsolete Android devices that are still perfectly usable, for lighter tasks. I refuse to pry them open in order to replace the volatile batteries which are charging at temperatures where the devices need to be shut down. A procedure I cannot do, because the power buttons and the logic integrated circuits behind them are broken. I need to use PPE in order to charge those things safely!
Luckily The European Union got fed up with this sealed battery phenomena and thanks to the Europeans we shall have normal battery separation again in our devices

To which temperature do you heat your (living) room*?
- the room you use most while you are at home and not sleeping
- 2nd, improved poll because first one was only 1 day unintendedly
- please round decimals (for Celsius °C see very first poll above)

Disclaimer: Fahrenheit is literally the only Imp unit that makes any sense to me, and only for colloquial/weather use.
To me, it's a simple matter of optimizing the usable space and resolution of the scale.
Also, a large part of it has to do with the weather where I live:
The temperature scale here goes from about 10F/-12C to about 105F/40C most years. Rarely ever any colder or hotter than those two extremes.
That means that a two-digit Fahrenheit temperature covers nearly the entire gamut of temperatures I encounter here.
With Celsius, not only do I have to use a negative sign for a few months out of the year, but more than the entire top half of the 2-digit number range is irrelevant to me.
If you think like an 8-bit programmer (but using decimal), #Fahrenheit just makes more sense.
Now of course, if I lived in Antarctica or Iraq, that would be a different matter.
But simply put, if I were to take the 90th percentile of temperature ranges for the area I live in, and number that zero to 100 for my imaginary temperature scale, that looks a LOT more like Fahrenheit to me than Celsius, and would look more like Fahrenheit for most of the Earth.
P.S., proof of our weather range from over 13 months of weather logging:
Documents $ cat weatherlog* |grep -oE "in $city: [0-9]+" |tr -dc "0-9\n" |sort -n |(head -1; tail -1) 11 104 -
I've been spitting the output of
ansiweather(or some other CLI weather program, I forget which) into a file on my little Raspberry Pi for over a year now.Now, I have lovely data.
(DERP, forgot about triple-digit temperatures XD)
All of the days with sub-freezing temperatures* in my city in 2025:
Documents $ grep -E "Weather in $cityname: (-[0-9]+|3[10]|[21][0-9]|[0-9]) " weatherlog-2025.txt |cut -c 5-10 |uniq Jan 5 Jan 6 Jan 7 Jan 8 Jan 9 Jan 10 Jan 11 Jan 13 Jan 18 Jan 19 Jan 20 Jan 21 Jan 22 Jan 23 Jan 24 Jan 27 Feb 12 Feb 13 Feb 16 Feb 17 Feb 18 Feb 19 Feb 20 Feb 21 Feb 22 Dec 2 Dec 8 Dec 14 Dec 15 Dec 29 Dec 30* No, beloved #European friends, I will not apologize for using #Fahrenheit. It is one of the very rare times I prefer the idiotic 'murican way of doing things.

The relationship between cricket chirping and temperature has been noted for a long time. In Western science, it is called Dolbear’s law after the most widely referenced early publication on the phenomenon published in 1897 by Amos Dolbear. His observations showed that you can count the number of chirps per 15 seconds, add 40, and that will give you the temperature in Fahrenheit (F).
Dolbear's law
Temperature (F) = number of cricket chirps in 15 seconds + 40
There is of course no calculation for Celcius but NOAA offers help:
To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 from it and then multiply by 5/9:
°C = (F - 32) * 5/9
Weirdos xD

I had one today try to refute what I told him days ago, because he 'looked it up".
He just did not want to believe me based upon my personal experience and what a Mechanical Engineer had previously confirmed to me.
It was about accuracy, specifically the lack thereof.
