The echoing void

I measure the temperature of things and places in Rrads (Rankine radians) with the intention of making the Celsius or Fahrenheit debate worse.

Questions I expect you to have:

What are Rrads?

Rrads are radians that have been calculated relative to the Rankine temperature scale

What are radians?

An alternate way of measuring angles around a circle, and the most likely reason your calculator gave you the wrong answer when you tried to use sin/cos/tan.

The conversion between ° and rad is 1°*π/180= π

What is Rankine?

Rankine is the absolute temperature scale in the imperial system. It is to Fahrenheit as Kelvin is to Celsius.

The conversion between Fahrenheit and Rankine is °F + 459.67 = °R. The conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit is °C × 9/5 + 32 = °F. The conversion between Celsius and Rankine is °C × 9/5 + 491.67 = °R. The conversion between Kelvin and Rankine is K x 9/5 = °R.

Why did you choose Rankine?

A) It's the funniest option B) I get to make my symbol be Rrad C) I didn't want to use Celsius or Fahrenheit, and Kelvin isn't measured in degrees. It's just Kelvin.

Can I send you asks with temperature conversion requests?

Yes, absolutely! Please do

Will this blog ever feature other obscure measurement systems?

Fighting against oppression no matter what form it takes, be it a corrupt king, rival pirates, or a system of government that controls the whole world

The only way to make a change when stuck in a situation that's actively taking away your freedom and rights is by force

Racism and discrimination are complicated issues that cannot be solved over night, it takes a combined effort to reach an understanding and to change people's views, and even if you can't let go of your own hatred because of the horrible things you've experienced, you shouldn't pass that hatred onto the next generation and instead allow them to form their own opinions through their own lived experiences

Freedom and liberation are basic human rights

Everyone, no matter who they are, should have access to food and water

Healthcare should be readily available to anyone who needs it

It's incredibly important to not only learn, but understand and preserve history, because those who seek power will go out of their way to destroy inconvenient information, erasing the stories of those who no longer have a voice, dooming society into forever repeating the same mistakes without ever learning from them

Children shouldn't suffer because of the actions of their parents
