Yep. I live near the Space Needle in Seattle and it was hot today. Looks like the high was 104°F (40°C).

And since Seattle rarely gets above 90°F (32°C) very few homes have air conditioning (including mine). It's a comfy 93°F (34°C) right now in my home at 10 pm.

The cause is the 2009 North American heat wave. Affecting mostly northwest of US.

Lol, when you first wrote 108 I thought 108 celcius. :P
But no, that would be something you could call a heat-wave. :P

Makes me wish only Kelvin existed...

It will probably be a long time until any unit of measurement other than time becomes completely standardized. I remember a long time ago I would get confused when science shows used meters and kilometers instead of feet and miles, hahaha.

It happened even now...
Recently a probe crashed on Mars because a sientist considered data miles instead of kilometers...

... DHO!

Wow, I wonder if he still works there. Kind of embarrassing. "Why did it crash?" "Oh, we're still using kilometers? My bad. Won't happen again, I promise!"

The metric system is the official system of measurement for all nations except for Myanmar, Liberia, and the United States.

The United States is messing it up for everyone else.

And this is wild:

Yeah, that has bothered me since I was little. I wonder what the origin of using different measurement is. Because, like you said, everyone else is using the same thing. It just seems counter intuitive to use something else.

in these days is hard to make a change of the system of measurement of a nation. Just think about cars: all the new cars will mount a different tachometer (speed indicator) but this is the nothing: after this all the signposts should be changed, all the old cars should change the tachometer and the other instruments.
Industry and all the services will have to upgrade all the softwares to make machine works, and all of this without creating confusion (this data are inches, feet, meter or centimeters?).
Of course all of this costs money to the state and to private citizens...

etc.

It could become easily the Kaos.

we call it a speedometer here, but that might be beacuse it's the non-technical term, and we say the common term.

This is sort of getting off topic... But if we change the system now it will be less expensive than changing it later.

Rankine looks awesome. You can scare everyone else, just like you can with Kelvin, but moreso. :P
