It might be useful to read [[The_Power,_pt_1#Let's_do_the_do|section six]] from [[The_Power,_pt_1|this essay]] of mine, but you can probably get by without it.

* We don't use Fahrenheit, but it's worth knowing that each ℃ is 1.8℉, with an offset of 32. We don't really use Kelvins either, but Kelvins are equivalent to Celsius with an offset of -273.15. Rankines can fuck right off. Liquids boil at lower temperatures at higher altitudes (boiling occurs when internal vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure). Water expands both above and below 4℃.
