not anymore lol

had a fun time! unfortunately the weather was dogshit (light rain all night but i was just baaaaaarely under cover so i stayed dry, but the rain also made it cold as hell) and i was not adequately dressed for it. i looked at the weather and thought it sounded fine but also the temperature forecast dropped over 10ºF1 so i can't be entirely blamed for dressing inadequately.

i left right before the orioles scored seven unanswered runs lmao. sorry red sox that apparently you needed me there to win.

also. fenway is cool. having jersey street just become part of the stadium during events is really neat and helps the actual concourses feel much less cramped. i'm used to how fucking huge the coliseum is so being able to walk from outside to my seat basically immediately was weird.

looking forward to more baseball in the future


  1. i'm realizing i don't know how to convert this to celsius. i think 6ishºC? doing a conversion from 10ºF isn't useful because unfortunately it doesn't work like that but converting the actual temperatures and then subtracting gets me 6ish. idk hopefully this gets the point across. i still think fahrenheit is better for weather since it gives a muuuuuuuuuch larger useful range but i understand that not everyone feels that way. i use celsius for everything that involves boiling water tho because it is absolutely superior for that.

in reply to @jkap's post:

Yeah 9° F is 5° C (exactly, which it's kinda weird that the ratio is so clean). or I generally think about it as 10°C is 18°F because that gets you from the 0°C=32°F equivalence to the much more useful 10°C=50°F and 20°C=68°F equivalences much faster.

The ratio makes sense if you look at the freezing-to-boiling range of temperatures. In Fahrenheit it's 180 degrees and in Celsius it's 100, so the scale from one to the other is 1.8:1 (or 9:5!)

Yeah, I think the thing that's surprising to me is that Fahrenheit has exactly 180 degrees from boiling to freezing, especially given that he was originally building his scale with "human body temp" (completely unrelated) set to 90° (weird, and also eventually wrong!).
