  • Temperature is not scalar

    Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ… Temperature is scalar, however it’s effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

    The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn’t be in the UK or whatever they’re saying in this article… That’s nonsense

    Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

    Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn’t a good indication of climate…




  • I would second pdq.

    I use the free version to assist with the non gpo installable crapware the school has to use. It is restricted in what it can do but us good enough.

    For python and the like, are you sure you want that on your network on every day workstations? Most school networks have a no programming languages policy (though handwave powershell)

    We use a virtualbox vm with an immutable hard disk as a container… Semms to work OK and might be something to look at. Has the advantage that updates are simple - change to disk image.
