    In all cases the water supercooled, reaching a temperature of typically −6 to −18 °C (21 to 0 °F; 267 to 255 K) before spontaneously freezing. Considerable random variation was observed in the time required for spontaneous freezing to start and in some cases this resulted in the water which started off hotter (partially) freezing first.

    In the United States, 50% of homes had disposal units as of 2009, [12] compared with only 6% in the United Kingdom [13] and 3% in Canada. [14]In Britain, Worcestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council started to subsidize the purchase of garbage disposal units in 2005, in order to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and the carbon footprint of garbage runs.

    As a temperature indicator it used red wine. (Rømer scale), The temperature scale used for his thermometer had 0 representing the temperature of a salt and ice mixture (at about 259 s). 1709 — Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit constructed alcohol thermometers which were reproducible (i.e. two would give the same temperature)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_thermometer

    The physical limitation of the ability of a thermometer to measure low temperature is the freezing point of the liquid used. Ethanol freezes at −114.9 °C (−174.82 °F). If an alcohol thermometer utilizes a combination of ethanol, toluene, and pentane, its lower temperature range may be extended to measure temperatures down to as low as − ...

    These symptoms can begin as early as shortly after and as late as weeks after consumption of the contaminated food. [10] Time and temperature control safety (TCS) plays a critical role in food handling. [11] [12] To prevent time-temperature abuse, the amount of time food spends in the danger zone must be minimized. [13]

    Rømer also told Fahrenheit that demand for accurate thermometers was high. [2]: 4 The visit ignited a keen interest in Fahrenheit to try to improve thermometers. [3]: 71 By 1713, Fahrenheit was creating his own thermometers with a scale heavily borrowed from Rømer that ranged from 0 to 24 degrees but with each degree divided into quarters.
