Meh, the mobile phone port they sell on steam is not comparable to the original, but you are right on the principle.

Well, that is a very open ended question.

My thoughts on emulation is that it is an absolute necessity in order to preserve the history of gaming. However, it will also probably always be a grey area regarding copyright. Especially with emulation of current gen I find it not okay, since the original creator still earns money with it. But if a game or console is not sold anymore? Nobody loses money from me using an emulator to play Chrono Trigger with save states and increased game speed to make the farming and boss fights easier.

Ok, in that context regarding moving out of the country I see how its finding out for the companies.

More like Swiss government, it's not like the companies didn't want that money.

But that is what we others are saying: there is no "more intuitive" system, just one you know better and can quicker evaluate how it would feel! So you agree with us.

Everything you said can be said about Celsius scale as well.

There is also a precedence for Celsius more than just an arbitrary number between 0 & 100.

A scale for liquid water, you know, the stuff that is the reason why we call our little spaceship "the blue marble"and why we even have this discussion, because it is the basis of all life on earth, is also not a bad choice for a number between 0-100.

And you made me curious: in what context did you have to calculate percentages of temperature that were not in Kelvin? Because as soon as percentages and temperatures are close to each other in one sentence the only example I can think of are things like reaction kinetic calculations and those are neither in Celsius nor in Fahrenheit.

If we want to go that road, intuition is according to Wikipedia:

Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge, without recourse to conscious reasoning or needing an explanation.[2][3] Different fields use the word "intuition" in very different ways, including but not limited to: direct access to unconscious knowledge; unconscious cognition; gut feelings; inner sensing; inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition; and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning.[4][5] Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate.[6]

Since every temperature system needs an explanation, namely the reference points, no system is or even can be intuitive per this definition.

Which system did you grow up with? Because I grew up from the start with Celsius und it is 100% intuitive to me. Everytime you americans use your funny temperature numbers I have to stop and use a tool for transforming it or I simply ignore it and go "low means cold and high means hot, how high? Ain't nobody got time for dat!"

So I disagree with your notion that Fahrenheit is intuitive. The system you grew up with and have multiple experiences as reference points for, is the system you feel is intuitive is also my opinion.

Nearly, some identifier who it's from is also good. Without one? You can't complain if I throw it away at the end of the week cleaning.

One example is women didn't need to stay home the whole day for child care, since there was Kindergarten for everyone from age 3 to primary school and even nurseries for children between 6 months to age 3 if you wanted to. Nowadays in eastern Germany the care infrastructure is still there mostly, but not on sufficient numbers and it is not guaranteed anymore, so parents need to have enough money.

To be fair, that was not (only) out of good will, but also out of economical necessity, since the female workforce was as much needed as the male one to keep the whole thing going.

If you are an EU citizen and agree with the initiative: GO VOTE!

It still needs to reach 1 million votes in total, not only the 7 country thresholds.
