    If half a degree Celsius makes the difference between being comfortable or uncomfortable for you, then you have bigger problems than being able to use whole numbers.

        The irony of someone not wanting to use decimal points for their temperature setting isn’t lost on me, when that same person has to resort to fractions to measure anything thinner than a door.

        Europeans don’t have thermostats because they don’t have AC. You’re speaking elvish to them.

        Edit: Relax Europeans, it’s a snarky comment

          Fairly sure the thermostat in my European house is in fact a thermostat. AC may not be common in homes here but heating sure is and needs a thermostat.

          If you don’t know what you’re talking about, then yes, you might as well speak Elvish.
