I agree with only the last one.
And the NYC landlord one would be funnier if I were not in my line of work.

This is cute, yes.
Sadly, people are dying from the cold. Some NY landlords always skimp on the heat, and this year its having a lethal effect.

Indeed.
Someone should tell the Yanks to adopt a temperature system someone outside the US can understand.
I'd say +4 or 5 Celsius here.

They're mixing units again. I would have thought that losing one mars probe would have been enough...

Maybe the problem with the Mars Probe is the lack of science education.

Sorry to be so pedant... but didn't the atomic activity ends actually at -273ºC (0 Kelvin)?
Around 20ºC here today, I think.

We've had several days of the temperature being near zero, now thankfully it's back to the regular -10 again (celcius, of course)- I was getting worried for a second.
I've just moved up north and they promised us temperatures of -25 to -30 in january, I bought a parka and thick socks and sweaters and thermal underwear and boots and ****. Haven't used any of it yet.

Why?
Cold is relative. 17 C could be a cold day in Israel.
Now Canadians who don't put a negative in front of their temperature,

Actually, the weather is almost perfect. Almost like winter here.
