They are expected to have between 25 and 30 percent*

And usually prognosises tend to value them higher than they end up, so I guess we can expect them to get around 25%. Plenty of space for other parties to form a coalition.

For the USA, yes, but there are other countries too where democracy still kinda works

Fully agree with you. How does that make sense:

Really hot summer days (30°C) are 86°F

Usual summer days (25°C) are 77°F

Room temperature is ~70°F

Spring / autumn days (20°C) are 68°F

Chilly outside / late autumn / early spring days (~10°C) are 50°F

Cool outside / warm winter days (~0°C) are 32°F

Cold outside / usual winter days (-10°C) are ~15°F

Winter nights (bit below -20°C) are ~ -10°F

Fahrenheit users keep saying how strange it is to have negative temperatures when using °C, but it’s just the same in Fahrenheit except the whole scale makes less sense since it’s using fully arbitrary, not recreatable points for 0 and 100.

That social pressure sure does a lot in the USA. In Austria for example iOS sits at 17.8% (July 2024) despite being a rich country.

Since none of Apple’s native services are being used the only upside of Apple products is their out-of-the-box neatless communication (MacBook-iPhone) and not being able to do much (this is an upside for old people who want to have as little options as possible, like they did on their old flip telephones). Accordingly, iPhones are very popular among people who only ever use their phones for photos and communication, which is a small percentage (as the statistic shows).

Most people simply care for what their phone can do (screen, camera, battery life, speed, customisability, software availability, bang-for-buck), for the camera it’s a tie (iPhones still win for videos, Android flagships win for photos) and in all other points Android wins, leading to its 70% market share.

0°F is the coldest night Mister Fahrenheit has ever witnessed, thinking it couldn’t become any colder than this.

100°F is Mister Fahrenheit’s slightly feverish body temperature.

PS: Pretty much all other countries also had their own measurement systems and simply switched to metric because it made sense. I’m glad we did, and that pretty much all others did too.

PPS: I’d also be up for revamping time measurement, why can’t we have 10h a day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute? 100.000 seconds in total per day, currently we have 86.400 so a second would only become slightly shorter.

The French tried to implement that in the First Republic, together with 12 months à 30 days per year, 3 weeks à 10 days per month and 5 (6) extra days at the end of the year to make it work (from Christmas to New Year, how thematic!)

It failed because the French were fearing they’d have to work more (if they’d also only have 2 days off per 10d instead of per 7d). One of the biggest tragedies in French history. Without the week reform the time reform might’ve succeeded.

I love it when it’s -10% hot in winter nights or 110% hot around the equator. Makes perfect sense.

You could only ask for as much rent as you need to cover the expenses for whatever you’re renting out.

Kelvin is the SI unit. Anyway also for the weather Celsius is clearer: Below 0 = snow, above 0 = rain. And Celsius at least has fixed points that can be recreated - if all thermometers and data on scales were lost we could easily recreate °C, but not °F.
