I was waiting for the tea water to boil and messing with the infrared themometer when I realize I had never tried to point it at the sky. When I did it read -12c or 9f
Was that just some sort of error state from not being able to register anything close enough (the device pic related doesn't state any sort of "effective range" just the ratio at which the "cone" widens) or was it actually measuring temperature of the clouds or some upper atmosphere particles or something (it's a sunny day with few clouds)?
Jonathan Morgan
That's the temperature of space
Dominic James
well this was solvable by a quick google search like most questions on here but if anyone else was curious yes I was measuring the temperature of the water vapor in the atmosphere or in other words the greenhouse effect

Lol? Use a fucking electronic kettle.
Josiah Gomez
How hot does it say the sun is lol >cooking using electricity/microwaves/etc Enjoy your cancer I guess
Caleb Ward
how is a kettle cancer? what do you use? a bucket of water below a massive magnifying glass?

>waiting for the tea water How is the weather in England chap?
Are you that fucking retard? Do you seriously think British people use your Fahrenheit shit?
Jaxon Lee
You use mph, why not our temperature measurement as well?
William Evans
I am not British and dont use mph
Adrian Perry
Because they're fucking stupid
Leo Watson
>32 degrees >freezing I did not know we have aliens from Mercury around here.
Andrew Foster
>our temperature measurement Protip: Fahrenheit was German.
Isaiah Jones
But Britain literally invented the imperial measurement system.

Levi Morales
bait taken but boy thats good shit
Caleb Allen
Nobody cares about Germany, nigger.
Isaiah Mitchell
Well some people do
Hunter Hill
why would I buy another machine to take up space on the counter when I got a perfectly functioning stove?
John Ross
I'm not sure if it's pointed directly at the sun because I have to stick my hand out the window but around +8c compared to -8c when pointing at the sky at a similiar angle but away from the sun
Jonathan Harris
I do. t. dutchfag
Caleb Scott
No it's not
It's picking up the ir from the minimal rayleigh scattering that results in ir
Gavin Carter
because it's slow also isn't buying something for every task a typically American thing to do?
Nicholas Reed
Because your stove is slow and inefficient
Stop polluting
Christian Perez
It's the neckbear thing to do, UNIX philosophy
Elijah Morgan
I'm not american so I can wait a minute.
