I realized it was time to dust out my PC. My CPU is running a good 7 degrees cooler now at idle.

Celsius or "stupid units"?

No one get offended, I'm calling fahrenheit stupid, not the people who use it

You're just mad that we don't need to use decimals when we report temperatures.

I think David Spade is naturally funny, but maybe thats nostalgia talking because I have good memories from Tommy Boy.

@Ziggy

I need to clean my laptop too, but but believe it or not, I can't find a place that sells compressed air-cans. Did you use a different method? I am specifically talking about the fan.

Maybe, but at least everyone knows how to spell Celsius :P

Could use a small paintbrush and a squeeze puffer bulb.

Celsius, but only because computer temps are always reported in C (by default in software, in BIOS, and by people on forums). I just stick with C for computer temps to make life easier. However, I have a better grasps of the "stupid scale" for measuring temperature. But overall, I like the metric system better. What the fuck is 7/16? I have no idea how big that is! 10mm, OK, that's in between 9 and 11mm. Eleven thirty-seconds? Uhhhh, is the larger or smaller than seven-sixteenths?

Well I have an air compressor, so I used that.

I thought placing an NES controller in my toddler's hands would be more gratifying, but we'd rather just work the garden out back. Granted, he's still awful young, but as a father, I'm starting to see the directions that I'd like our relationship to flourish. Being a dad is a huge privilege. :)

Smaller. Maybe non-metric is the smart units; metric is the stupid units for people who can't do fractions.
