1kg = double it and add a little lb
1lb = just under half kg

1cm = just under half in
1in = a little more than double cm

F vs C = give up

To easily convert between F and C, simply cool the thing down to -40° and you're good you go

1 kg = 2 * lb + 1/5 * lb (lucky for us 5 is a prime factor of base 10)

C to F = 100 is too hot, 0 is too cold, 50 is just righ- ah damn it

[–] teft@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago

F vs c is easier if you think in bands of temps. 15 C is about 60 F. Each ten degrees difference in F is about 5 degrees different in C. So 20 C is about 70 F. 10 C is about 50 F.

For F and C, there's a 10% variation from double/divide (5/9 vs 9/5).

So add or subtract 10% after doing that part.

It's exactly (C*9/5)+32. That's not a rough formula, it's exact.

Ok mr advanced mathematics with complex numbers

For above freezing, terrestrial temperatures, Canadians have long depended on the "double it and add 30" rule to understand freedom temperature units while travelling.

basically me as I'm slowly learning metric

I've worked in some capacity of manufacturing for a while now so I've gotten used to going back and forth. You'll get it!
Practice by thinking what the other would be any time someone mentions one.
