Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.
The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.
The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car’s body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.
There’s no need for that attitude though.
Fair, my bad! Sorry if it was offensive.
I just got a little sick of all the Fahrenheit (and also Imperial) domination around here. This, in turn, is often left without clarification, despite the system being way less popular.
Lemmy as a platform is extremely America-centric, despite having tons of folks from everywhere else, which is aggravating in the long run. World really, really doesn’t all revolve around land of the free.
Metric ton of folks or colonial? Please clarify.
I agree though, that’s why I like posting conversions from time to time on other posts that are US defaults.
Being from Russia, I’m fine with people using the units they are more confident with or used to.
(Not specifying units may be a bit confusing, but then people here don’t say\write “it’s 20 degrees Celsius” either.)
Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it’s only natural.
For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it’s highly regional news.
Also, привет российским леммиводам :D
Превед.
😂
The attitude comes from Americans expecting the world circling around them.
The comment asked to list out the units which is a common thing to do. You don’t list out a scientific value without its units. They didn’t say list it out for Americans. Maybe the study was done in the US and they listed it in F. How would you know? So who came in here with an attitude?
No, they converted it to Fahrenheit because that’s what they use & expect to be clarified upon.
No, they first listed the units which is Celsius and then converted it themselves and didn’t excepted it to be converted. No one is complaining that it’s not in F but rather that the units are missing.
