03 Feb 05 - 11:48 AM (#1397973) Subject: RE: BS: The world of thermometers From: Bee-dubya-ell I don't believe a have a thermometer. They're always getting broken and, anyway, who needs 'em. When it's hot, it's hot. When it's cold, it's cold. If I wanna know how hot or cold I just go to weather.com. And, anyway, thermometers and temperature are hard to talk about here because half the people use the Fahrenheit scale and half the people use the Centigrade scale and nobody's keyboard has a "º" symbol on it so ya have to type out the word "degrees". But I will tell ya this: I have a really nice pyrometer. It'll tell ya whether something's 2375º (Fahrenheit) or 2380º in a hurry. If you've got anything that needs to be that hot, I'm your man. |

03 Feb 05 - 11:54 AM (#1397978) Subject: RE: BS: The world of thermometers From: Layah I have a candy thermometer, which I use but don't actually follow. When I first started making candy I didn't own a thermometer so when I finally got one I already knew how to tell the temperature. After using a thermometer I found out that they are much less reliable than other tests. I hear I'm supposed to calibrate it every time I use it, but that involves boiling some water every time I want to use it. So I put it in the pot and then promptly ignore everything it tells me. |

03 Feb 05 - 09:24 PM (#1398490) Subject: RE: BS: The world of thermometers From: GUEST,John Gray in Oz Well - my subject at last. Thermometers form part of our industrial instrument range of products. Looking out my office window I can see racks & racks of the bloody things. Just thought you would like to know that. Bi-metal type, vapour tension, mercury in steel, nitrogen filled systems, digital etc etc. And if you go into your characters there is a small "o" that you can assign an alt key to so you don't have to keep typing the word 'degrees'.

Art isn't created by some scientific type grinding out logri...logarh...exponents; art is created by those who feel their creations! Commie! Art Critic!! |

05 Feb 05 - 02:52 PM (#1399999) Subject: RE: BS: The world of thermometers From: Rapparee There's the old story about the admiral in the naval hospital. He was as goddamned lifer, nothing was ever good enough, and he was, basically, a mean old bastard.d One day an enlisted orderly came it and helped the old bastard with what had to be done. Then to orderly told the admiral to turn over, becaus he had to have his temperature taken rectally. With much complaining, the admiral did so. The orderly left. About an hour later, a nurse came in and broke out laughing. "What the hell's the matter with you?" asked the admiral. "Haven't you ever seen a man have his temperature taken rectally before?" "Yes," replied the jg nurse, "but never with a daisy." |
