Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 26, 2015

My sources say no…..

Quick head math 100*C = 212*F. So 35*C x 9/5 = 9×7 =63. so around 275.

You must have forgotten the +32 at the end.

Too low to cook this

You forgot to add the 32 to the 253, other than that you would be correct. 9/5 x C+32 = F5/9 x (F -32) = CConvert C to F just follow the rules of Mathematics, but Converting F to C you have to remember to subtract the 32 before you multiply.

You guys are so old fashioned.

Modern way: Type “135c in f” in Google.275.

Way faster than math.

Of course, my method does lead to brain atrophy….

so I have no idea what Arlo is doing with that sideways gesture. Anybody?

Eirik… thanks… that was actually my first impression.

But he has a phone in his hand, not an 8-ball… so I was puzzled.

I guess he’s just being funny cos he can’t go on the web with his old phone?

Sigh……

The math I see here is making my oranges crash. Perhaps the phone is telling him to check his email, you know, Outlook.

He’s using his magic 8- ball app.

275F

Just consider it hot! Forget the numbers.

Don’t know, my pencil broke…

What is he cooking, bread or meat? Bread is usually baked at 350, sliced ham may be heated up at 275.

“Reply hazy, try again.”

I have a thermometer with both systems marked on it. Problem solved. As for the metric temperature system, there are more numbers between 32 (freezing) and 212 (boiling) than there are between 0 and 100. Our system is more precise.(That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)

275˚ F, I checked the conversion feature on my Mac’s Dashboard. I didn’t have to change pages or log in to another site.

C=F-32/1.8 That’s the formula unless you have a thermometer with both scales.

cook ribs @ this temp. for many hours……..

When using a temperature scale is it better to get a “C” or an “F”. And can anyone appreciate a gradation of “K”?

I have a funny story about a French woman who was making a French pastry in a Canadian made oven that did not have celsius. Might make for a funny storyline in this strip (?)

“Only scientists appreciate Kelvin” That’s sad. Kelvin told a great story and did great BBQ and mixed drinks.

Herd creature.We can handle multiple systems.Easier now than ever.

“It is from 135 Centigrade.”.Or Celsius, the official name, but you are right that I shouldn’t have called it Fahrenheit, especially since I was going to Fahrenheit..No sweat, I’ll fix it.

And then there’s the Celsius to Kelvin to Rankine to Fahrenheit method:135 + 273 = 408 KelvinDoubled 816Less 10% or about 82
