  Try drawing a triangle on a globe and measure the angles, it will be more than 180 degrees. That’s probably the simplest visualisation possible.

  did they expect any different? Why would anyone on Greenland be aligned with someone who threatened is threatening to invade you?

  Probably more related to the god-awful infrastructure design in the US, like stroads and an unfathomable tendency to use stop signs for a lot of things they are just not fit for, like to replace speed bumps, chicanes, and roundabouts.

  Also the better comparable statistic should be deaths per distance traveled in cars.

  I was hoping this would be here.

  I think it’s showing it’s 15 degrees warmer than normal, if I read it right.

  Bit of an awkward scale for a ruler, but I can sell you one from -6.6666666… to -6.65 goobs.

  0 K is like when there is 0 heat basically, while celsius isn’t. Imagine a unit for distance called “good” where 0 goobs is 100 m and 1 goob is 115 m. In that case the goob unit would behave differently than a meter when you multiply and divide because 0 of the units don’t actually correspond to “nothing” in a physical sense. That’s exactly how the Celsius scale is, with zero being placed somewhere arbitrarily, not at a physical zero.
