I hope you have tickets to the Bills game? I am sure not. Being we beat your fish twice. My cousins in Sunrise (Ft Lauderdale area) are Dolphin fans but from here and know I am a huge Bills fan. I am sure they were rooting for Buffalo to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Why Do Pipes Burst ? Cold weather can cause serious issues when it affects the water supply pipes in your home. Although cold temperatures generally cause things to contract, ice has more volume than water so when water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and increases pressure inside the pipe. The building pressure needs to escape so it literally bursts right out of the pipe. This sometimes occurs at a weak joint in the pipe but pressure can burst right out the side of the pipe wall. One way to prevent water pipes from bursting during extreme cold is to turn on your faucets to allow a slow but steady stream of water to escape. This will keep water moving through the pipes and, most importantly, prevent pressure from building up inside. To prevent frozen pipes, Insulate exposed water supply pipes with foam pipe sleeves and don’t allow the temperature in the house to fall below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Open cabinet doors below sinks to allow warm air to circulate around pipes. https://www.rotorooter.com/plumbing-basics/frequently-asked-questions/plumbing-in-your-home/why-do-pipes-burst/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Centigrade/Celsius: temperature Fahrenheit, subtract 32; take ensuing total and multiply it by 5/9 e.g., 212 F (boiling point for water) : 212 - 32 = 180; 180 * 5/9 = 100 Centigrade/Celsius Degrees Centigrade/Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit: temperature Centigrade/Celsius, multiply by 9/5; take ensuing total and add 32 e.g., 100 C : 100 * 9/5 = 180; 180 + 32 = 212 Fahrenheit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celcius. 0 degrees is what water freezes at. 100 degrees is what water boils at. Makes SO much more sense and given the above, how can it not be easier?

You can't always get what you want. 4 hours ago, chillumpuffer said: OR Multiply c by 2, add 30 and subtract 1 So 16c x 2 = 32 + 30 - 1 = 61f Yes, this is the quick cheat I use to bounce between the two as well - it's a decent approximation for temperatures that commonly occur (although as the temperature goes higher, it becomes more inaccurate). Also, you do realize that multiplying by 2 and adding 29 would be a more concise version of your formula, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
