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)?

That's the temperature of space

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

>I was waiting for the tea water to boil

Lol? Use a fucking electronic kettle.

How hot does it say the sun is lol
>cooking using electricity/microwaves/etc
Enjoy your cancer I guess

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?

Pretty good

>32 degrees
>literally freezing
>nice weather
Fucking Brexit man.

>celsius

Are you that fucking retard? Do you seriously think British people use your Fahrenheit shit?

You use mph, why not our temperature measurement as well?

I am not British and dont use mph

Because they're fucking stupid

>32 degrees
>freezing
I did not know we have aliens from Mercury around here.

>our temperature measurement
Protip: Fahrenheit was German.

But Britain literally invented the imperial measurement system.

...

bait taken but boy thats good shit

Nobody cares about Germany, nigger.

Well some people do

why would I buy another machine to take up space on the counter when I got a perfectly functioning stove?

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

I do.

No it's not

It's picking up the ir from the minimal rayleigh scattering that results in ir

because it's slow
also isn't buying something for every task a typically American thing to do?

Because your stove is slow and inefficient

Stop polluting

It's the neckbear thing to do, UNIX philosophy

I'm not american so I can wait a minute.

>electronic kettle
>falling for the boiling jew

>amerilards are THIS retarded
I guess you didnt know the average car can do 200 on straights either did you?
