And this pretty much sums up why the scale is weird and hard to use. Many people can relate to the temperature water freezes (0c) and the temp it boils at (100c).
Of course... Those temperatures are at sea-level (or, more precisely, 1 atmosphere). Water can be made to "boil" at room-temperature in a vacuum (or reduced pressure) and (theoretically) be made to "freeze" at room pressure with enough added pressure (more than 632.4 MPa) -- even staying frozen at 100 C @2.216 GPa... see Phase Diagram of Water
In this respect, most scale correlations are arbitrary, or only accurate under specific conditions.
If you dont get what i am asking, there is little point in being rude about it.
I posted another reply answering what I think you were asking: "What is the significance of zero/0 in Fahrenheit?" -- which you could have simply Googled.
If what you mean is, what is the significance of zero/0 in Fahrenheit. The answer is (currently) nothing. The Wikipedia page describes how the guy came up with his scale:
In his initial scale (which is not the final Fahrenheit scale), the zero point was determined by placing the thermometer in a mixture "of ice, of water, and of ammonium chloride (salis Armoniaci)[6] or even of sea salt".
According to a story in Germany, Fahrenheit actually chose the lowest air temperature measured in his hometown Danzig in winter 1708/09 as 0 F, and only later had the need to be able to make this value reproducible using brine.
I basically looks like he created the scale first, then observed at which temperatures "water" froze and boiled.
i mean what does "zero" indicate? In C, it is the temperature water freezes...
Zero is a number [ look it up:-) ] what it indicates depends on the context. Your question, "What is zero Fahrenheit?" is ambiguous. The simple answer is obviously, "zero" (0F), unless what you actually meant to ask was, "What is the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit, which is 0 in Celsius?", then the answer is 32F. The person/people you asked should have pointed this out. You (and they) need to think more clearly about these things -- this is why the Mars Climate Orbiter crashed or burned up -- though, I'm not saying *that* your fault -- unless it was.:-)
In Kelvin, "zero" (0K) is the point at which all molecular/atomic movement stops -- or would, if it could actually be achieved.
On September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-force seconds (lbfs) instead of the SI units of newton-seconds (Ns) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, and it was either destroyed in the atmosphere or re-entered heliocentric space after leaving Mars' atmosphere.

Um... I pay off my CC in full *every* month and have done so since I got the things. They're used for convenience, safety and payment consolidation, not because I don't have the $$ at the time of purchase. They disconnect my bank account from the end-transactions - and I get a short float on my expenses.
I have not smoked a single cigarette in two weeks now.
Congratulations, keep it up! (sincerely)
the vape device I am using is a super-tiny device that is hidden in the palm of my hand and it feels a bit like a pacifier.
That last bit should tell you something. Keep working so you don't need anything, especially a pacifier.:-)
Yes, I even vaped at a kids birthday party last week. Nobody noticed or cared.
As long as you're not exhaling those iconic giant (hipster-douche) vape clouds onto everyone around you. Perhaps they're just harmless water vapor, but keep it to yourself man -- *no one* other than hipster/douche vapers thinks that is or looks cool -- you're still an addict constantly sucking on something just to get by. (sorry so harsh.)
So the new tracker blocking options are (from TFA):
- Standard: The default, where Firefox blocks known trackers in Private Browsing Mode. In the future, this setting will also block Third Party tracking cookies.
- Strict: For people who want a bit more protection and don’t mind if some sites break. This setting means Firefox blocks known trackers in all windows.
How is that simpler than the current setting descriptions (from my Options->Privacy & Security Window in 64.0.2) with a separate setting for Cookies:
- Only in private windows
- Always
Because "standard/strict" doesn't really sound the same as "only in private windows/always"...
Trumpâ(TM)s CFPB Fines a Man $1 For Swindling Veterans
This guy broke numerous laws while making predatory loans to veterans and, not only did he not get jail time, the amount of his fine was reduced to $1 when he said he couldn't afford it.
When poor people can't pay a traffic ticket or court fine, they go to jail. The wealthy and their cronies? They pay $1 and walk away.

Flo is very pleased about this.

Now, to be fair, it could have just burned up in the atmosphere. :-)

... they're just big-boned.
I also replied to the GP ...
What i found far more humorous was when i asked a simple question like "What is zero Fahrenheit?" They were unable to answer.
The answer is "zero" [0].
Now, did *you* actually mean the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit, which is 32 -- and 0 in Celsius?
Confusion can go both ways.

What i found far more humourous was when i asked a simple question like "What is zero fahrenheit?" They were unable to answer.
The answer is "zero" [0].
Now, did *you* actually mean the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit, which is 32 -- and 0 in Celsius?
"What is zero fahrenheit?"
They were obviously too stupid to say "Fucking Cold" Which brings me to question, who were you hanging out with.
They were too fucking stupid to say "zero".
Musk not using SI units?
Maybe the shorts were right.

I don't know what is going on. But I can assure you that whatever it is I AM OUTRAGED!!!
Let me inform my Twitter followers about how outraged I am. Surely we can get someone fired if we try!
Damn. This sounds like a Trump rant but, with the username "penandpaper", you're obviously not him. :-)

Ugh!

Nobody else signed up for my issues; therefore, I keep them to myself. I would hope others would do the same. :)
It's interesting (to use that word) that the top N results when googling vape cloud are like:
How do I get more clouds from my vape?
How to get massive vape clouds?
What is best for vape clouds?
Makes you wonder about peoples' motivations ...

If all smokers switched to vape tomorrow, would there be a massive overall improvement in health? Of course there would be.
Yes, but they would risk being lost in giant vape-clouds of hipster douche-baggery -- a great detriment of the rest of us. :-)

In effect, the letter alleges that FCC staff -- almost certainly from Pai's office -- put pressure on the big telcos to challenge an order ...
Now we can look forward to an endless series of tweets claiming "NO COLLUSION" from Ajit Pai and the FCC too -- sigh. :-)
