Yeah. I’m used to all the scientific stuff being metric, and only conventional for stuff that doesn’t matter. I saw -270 when I looked it up and thought “that’s about 3 K, I guess that’s feasible”.
I do think unit fights are stupid, though. Units are about communicating and understanding.
I learned that DC fast chargers are around 250 kW. I can tell you how fast that could boil a cubic meter of water or all kinds of science things, but that’s not meaningful to me.
I can then tell you that that’s enough to trip the big breaker on five houses. That’s a bit more meaningful to me, but how much is a house.
Now, how many ovens set to max is that? I know how hot an oven is. It’s more than 80 ovens. That’s a much better unit, but I still can’t really understand 80 ovens.
