Oddly they include the redundant "C" for -40 but don't include it, or the "F," in the next paragraph:
> by running outside naked in minus 30 and rubbing yourself down with snow
Then they restore redundant ones a few paragraphs later:
> * It may be as low as minus 40C outside* . . . which in minus 40C is quite high

- swerveonem 8y agoThey already established the context, C, it would be more ridiculous to switch units but if they were unit switchers they would include it.
- rando444 8y agoI think he's saying -40C and -40F are the same thing, and is complaining about the units being on the 40 and not the 30. It's a rather extreme nitpick.
