As a Canadian, the Celcius scale has a number of useful quantities:
- - Where I live, the temperature ranges from approximately -40 C to 40 C (Winter to Summer). Essentially, temperatures further from 0 are more extreme.
- - Room temperature is about 20 C (although some may prefer up to about 25 C). This is a nice round number to remember.
- - If I'm driving and the temperature is near 0 C then road condition is typically poor (slush or water on top of ice).
During my day-to-day activities, many of the temperature numbers that I use are convenient. YMMV.

As an Arch user myself and someone who wasn't paying attention to the systemd debate, why don't you like it?
Most of the arguments that I've read against it is that it adds unneeded complexity to the system, but it is obvious that it mostly just creates links to various scripts which are run asynchronously when the machine starts. My impression is that this is basically all that init did anyways. If you have a good source of information on systemd vs. init, I would happily read it.
