Make sure to go moose hunting when you do. Now now, CosmicCalvalcade, I know you and snacky are both Gods here but ya still gotta play nice.  There's no moose to hunt in T.O. snacky. But if you come in the summer do bring skies....you never know.... My apologies to CosmicCalvacade!! My bad. I didn't read all the posts before jumping in so I missed the one where you were talking about the moose statues! Just ignore me......  |

I often double post because I follow the Recent Posts link at the bottom instead of individual threads. In speaking of which, did you see this: murdochmysteriesfans.proboards.com/thread/799/william  |

Multiply the Celsius by 1.8, then add 32. Would William frown at me if I said my head hurts?  Decimals are easy. Do the multiplication as if the decimal wasn't there, then add it at the end in the appropriate slot. And we all know how to add. Here, I'll compare the two strategies the Carco and I devised. Carco's idea was to; Double and add 30. Say it was 10 C (starting off easy). Double it, making 20, then add 30, making it 50 F. Mine was to multiply by 1.8, then add 32. Once, again, it's 10 C. Multiplying it by 1.8 would give you 18.0, and adding 32 would give you 50 F. So basically both work, in this case. BUT, if I was to make it more complicated ... Carco's idea is to; Double and add 30. Say it was 23.54 C. Doubling it, making it 47.08, then add 30, making it 77.08 F. My idea was to; Multiply by 1.8, then add 32. Once again, it's 23.54 C. Multiply it by 1.8, making it 42.372. Now add 32, making it 74.372. Checking with a computer converter, the answer is indeed what I had calculated, 74.372. |

No he would just continue talking until you growled at him (like Brackenreid) or said "How fascinating!"

I there with you lovemondays. I have never even heard of Urban Dictionnary! Feeling old.:-( Aw lol. Life is a process of continuous learning. When it comes to understanding the global lingo of the Internet, Urban Dictionary and Encyclopedia Dramatica help a great deal. The problem is after you see both of those, you will be extremely disappointed in the Internet, your kids' generation, and the world in general. XD Stay calm. Practice mindfulness. Realize your kids will grow out of that phase. Then all will be well.   |

Just in case you ever go someplace that has C temps here's quick tip. If you know the Celsius temperature "double it and add 30" to have the corresponding F temperature (roughly). William Murdoch would not approve of that less than scientific method but, generally speaking, it gets you near to the F temp you're familiar with and you know whether or not you need to grab a jacket before you leave the hotel !!! I add 32, but this is what I do. |

Yeah but I get the impression that most people only want to watch stuff from places they are familiar with. Toronto wouldn't fit that bill for most, especially a 1900's Toronto. But not flashy in the way that apparently counts nowadays. Ie. a lot of sex and violence Lol. I don't think I ever managed to get through an entire episode! 1) blame City. They were horrid at marketing it. As in they didn't. 2) Or it WAS and like I said before, people like what they know. Make sure to go moose hunting when you do. Now see, I'm kinda the opposite. I actually count it against shows when they're based in NY or LA. How unoriginal.  I think one of the great things about CSI was that it was set in Vegas or Miami, and I have refused to watch CSI NY because it's just another NY cop drama. Yawn. It's been done before. Of course, I'm not your typical American. I don't even live in the country for crying out loud. |

Please...  My little hack is all about the humanities. It's imprecise, and the easy way out. |

Following the rapid sapphism controversy on CC's tumblr led me to a bubbly recent MM convert dangermousie, who used the term "BAMFy ladies". I must have finally crossed a generational line, because I had to go look that up on Urban Dictionary. In consideration of mixed company I won't translate it here. However, I did make a little something in honor of dangermousie, which I hope CosmicCalvalcade will convey. This just makes me think of Samuel Jackson's wallet in Pulp Fiction. DFTBA=Don't forget to be awesome!love me some John and Hank Green aka Crash Course, or the VLOG brothers. |
