Like 6 years ago I have never heard of "Foot Pounds of Torque." I thought it was some kind of currency like "Sterling Pounds" :oops:

My walmart digi will sometimes start displaying in C also - even though the little slider on back is still set to F. Toggling it to C and back usually clears it up. Odd. Wonder how pervasive that is - happen to anyone else?

How to Handle New Snake?
Ahhhh... the whole metric thing. I really want to move to Montreal and live but to do what I do for a living ( building) it is just to hard for this old dog to learn new tricks ie metric as opposed to feet and inches UGH!!!!!
But I just have to figured out something because Montreal is calling my name.

Yeah, I have that same problem sometimes. Even sometimes I can jiggle the slider & it just stays on celcius. So, since I am a lazy guy, I just search a temperature convertor online & punch the numbers in. It comes to roughly the celcius temp x 2.7 or so.

i've never understood why Americans cling to the imperial system while the rest of the world uses SI or the metric system. i am very comfortable with both and when you break it down SI makes sooooo much more sense. I guess thats why the whole scientific community, even the americans, use SI.
