ELI5: Railroad question...why did Amtrak cancel the Chicago trains due to cold? It's not because of snow, but rather temperatures. Diesel fuel can be treated to flow at lower temps.
At /r/explainlikeimfive
As title states. As a trucker out of Wisconsin I know semi truck diesels can run in the cold. I was surprised to see Amtrak canceling their trains due to the incoming cold over today through Tuesday. Thanks! Edit: Wow! Some really great explanations! Thanks all! I really feel sad for the specially trained switch monkeys in this weather. They need a union or something 😉

YSK these neat ways to convert between celsius and fahrenheit :)
At /r/YouShouldKnow
Why YSK: With these methods, you can convert °C to °F (and vice versa) like a pro! Also great for trainin yo brain!Hi there! I was bored and decided to put down a chart for ease of conversion from celsius to fahrenheit and vice versa.I'm sure some of you know of the standard "°F = °C * 2 + 30 and °C = °F - 30 / 2."I noticed that it gets more inaccurate the higher you go and that bothered me. So I went on a numberventure and found some patterns that got me wondering if I could use any for more accurate results. Here are the results.Hope it helps and sorry if it's been posted before! Too lazy to check :D-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Formula for °C to °F:°F = (9/5 \ °C) + 32 or (1.8 * °C) + 32*°C to °F Pattern Observations:For Celsius values, each increment of 1°C increases Fahrenheit by 1.8°F. Every other even (0, 2, 4...) or odd (1, 3, 5...) value of °C correlates with an increase of 3.6°F (this can be useful, I just haven't taken the time to think of how to expand...yet).Chart A:Celsius (°C)Fahrenheit (°F)Δ°F032N/A133.81.8235.61.8337.41.8439.21.85411.8642.81.8744.61.8846.41.8948.21.810501.81151.81.81253.61.81355.41.81457.21.815591.81660.81.81762.61.81864.41.81966.21.820681.8I noticed a cool pattern: for every 10°C, °F increases by 18. That means for every 5°C, °F changes by 9! If multiplying decimals isn’t your thing, this bridge is a super easy way to work with friendly numbers :PExample:Finding °F from 45°C. I like to use 10°C because it's easy to calculate from 50 but whatever floats your boat!°C1 - °C2 = 45 - 10 = 35 (here, °C1 is given value and °C2 is the reference value)35 * 1.8 = (35 * 1) + (30 * 0.8) + (5 * 0.8) = 35 + 24 + 4 = 63Add 63 to the reference value: 63 + 50 = 113°FFormula for °F to °C:°C = 5/9 \ (°F - 32)*°F to °C Pattern Observations:For Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions, every other even or odd increment of °F increases Celsius by ≈1.1°C.Chart B:Fahrenheit (°F)Celsius (°C)Δ°C (even)Δ°C (odd)0-17.7N/A1-17.21.12-16.61.13-16.11.14-15.51.15-151.16-14.41.17-13.81.18-13.31.19-12.71.110-12.21.111-11.61.112-11.11.113-10.51.114-101.115-9.41.116-8.81.117-8.31.118-7.71.119-7.21.120-6.61.1Here’s an (in my opinion) easy route:Start with a reference point0°F = -17.7°C (even numbers)
1°F = -17.2°C (odd numbers)Examples:420°F:420 - 0 = 420420 / 2 = 210210 * 1.1 = 231231 - 17.7 = 213.3°C69°F:69 - 1 = 6868 / 2 = 3434 * 1.1 = 37.437.4 - 17.2 = 20.2°CImportant notes:Up to 100, there's a deviation of ≈0.5
200 - 300, deviation of ≈1
300 - 400, deviation of ≈2...I think. Sounds good nuff to me!

Framedrop/slowdown in HDR/DoblyVision.
At /r/netflix
Greetings all, I just received my Philips 65OLED809 and I have a weird issues concerning a sort of framedrop/slowdown in some scene when using Netflix in HDR/Dolbyvision on the TV App. I'm very sensitive to motion and for me the issue is really apparent when using motion smoothing "Standard" or "Smooth". By exemple in "Wednesday" in the first episode at 6m36s there is a slowdown when the guy is speaking with his head closer to the windows, or for a second exemple in "Squid Game" in the first episode between19m18s and 19m28s there is a quick lag when we see the main character. This is subtle and not really easy to notice at first but once seen … I have not this issue on SDR, when I desactivate HDR on the Netflix app everything is smooth.I have not this issue either on my old 65OLED854 in the Netflix TV app or when using my Shield on this older TV model.I tried to plug my Shield (2017) on my new 809 (I tried the 4 HDMI) to see if the same issue occurs in Netflix and again I got the same lag/slowdown. I switched the Shield to 4k 23,97fps from 4k 59,94fps and no more issues ! So it seems to be an issue with the TV not able to keep the motion well if the refresh rate is not the same than the video played when HDR/DolbyVision is enabled. And since there is no way to change the refresh rate in GoogleTV, I can't see how to solve the issue.

Personalised notifications despite being logged out
At /r/netflix
Hey, so I used to share a Netflix account with my sister some time ago and was logged in with that account on my phone. I have my own account now though, with only my profile, and I keep getting notifications from Netflix with recommendations using her name, even after reinstalling the app. I don't know if it's just the wrong name or if it's actually recommendations for her, but I suppose the first makes more sense. Does anyone know why this happens?

YSK that when people come to you with a problem, they may want to be heard, helped, or hugged, and figuring out which one is key to communicating with them
At /r/YouShouldKnow
It's not like a formal science or anything, but when it comes to problems, there are often people who want to be helped, people who want to be hugged, and people who want to be heard.You can even ask - "do you want to be helped, hugged, or heard right now?"People who want to be helped are interested in solutions. They generally don't want your pity or your validation, they're often looking at the situation from a "what do I do" standpoint.People who want to be heard aren't looking for solutions, and instead want to be listened to. Their general goal is to be validated, and look at the situation from a "isn't this horrible, oh my god" standpoint.People who want to be hugged are often looking for physical touch or even just your presence. They may not even want to talk about the problem, just to be near someone who makes them feel safe.Why YSK: If you try to solve the problem using a method that doesn't work for that person or that problem or their current emotional state, you'll risk making the problem worse. A hugger who had their parents just die isn't going to want to answer questions about their parents' wills, and instead will just want a hug or for gentle conversation around it or maybe even just might want to spend time with you taking their mind off of it. A helper who had their house catch on fire probably wants you to help them call up insurance companies, not sit around and talk about how hard the fire has been for them. A heard-er (strange name I know, but I'm sticking with it) who just had a breakup wants you to listen to them vent and say things like "wow, that's so horrible" and "oh my gosh that must be so hard" to validate them, not solve all their problems for them. In particular, heard-ers and helpers often get into a lot of issues where the heard-er will say "can't you just LISTEN to me?! Do you not see how horrible this is?!" and the helper will say "I don't see what the big deal is. Why don't you just do X?" and after a long-standing pattern of this, the heard-er will feel invalidated for not feeling listened to and the heard-er will feel the same because the heard-er never takes their advice (because they're not looking for it) and resentment can form, with the helper often feeling exhausted by needing to listen and provide validation, and the heard-er feeling completely unsupported by not feeling understood.As always, balance is key - some people are a mix and change depending on the time of day, what the problem is, how big the problem is, etc. It's important to not judge other people for their styles, either - heard-ers can often think of helpers as callous and uninterested, while helpers are taken aback at the accusation that they don't care - "clearly I care, I just presented solutions" - and can consider helpers as solely wallowing in self-pity. But in reality the world takes all types!

Not all shows appearing

Hi! I saw this issue popping up for other people as well while I was googling it but I couldn’t find anywhere any solution. My boyfriend and I are using the same Netflix account. He doesn’t have any issue on his profile, he sees all shows, doesn’t matter if it’s on the laptop, phone, on WiFi, on mobile data. For me, however, on my profile, no matter if it’s my laptop or phone, if I am on WiFi, wherever (work, home, at parents), I don’t see all the shows - only if I use my mobile data, I can see everything. Does anybody have any suggestion? It can’t be the WiFi network, cause it’s working from my boyfriend.
