Sadly, at that point, you need to know the decimal equivalent (this happpens often with precision measurement) for instance 1/4 is 0.25 etc. I agree that it is horrible for a tape measure style measurement, but it isn’t so bad once you’re used to seeing the fractional equivalent as a decimal.

That was also part of my point. I am tired of people trying to impose one unit or series of units being superior when they are all just made up.

I may get a lot of flack for this, but here is my perspective as someone with over 20 years experience as a machinist in the US. Over the course of my career, I have become more than comfortable using metric, imperial, and us custimary units.

For science? Metric is fantastic. For literally everything else - us customary is faster, easier, more understandable, and actually more approachable in terms of trying to actually build something.

Let’s start with simply building something as the first example. Fractions, (and angles relative to fractions) are more intuitive to work with, faster, and overall easier to work with than decimal equivalents. One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".

Furthermore, units are just that. An arbitrarily agreed upon measurement. None of them make any “more sense” than any other. If the Royal Society had agreed on a hogs head as a standard unit of volume, we’d likely still be using it.

I may be rambling at thus point. However, my entire point here is that there is objectively no such thing as a superior unit of measure. They are all made up and have uses that they are best suited for.

Roll back over, put the phone in your right hand and use the phone to get the little bit of distance. Being truly lazy requires ingenuity.

He had a wild life, so who really knows. But there is a huge conspiracy theory around his death. QAnon is even involved. I don’t personally give it any legitimacy, but it is a deep interesting rabbit hole. I can’t find a source that I’m willing to actually link.

Yeah, not only are these crocs instead of gators, the roads are straight with no pot holes

I have never experienced any of this. Have you only been in cars that have been made after 2015 or something? Cars don’t make most people sick. Food doesn’t get anywhere in the car with even a modicum of care. Last point is moot because with even the slightest amount of care, food doesn’t drop into the car. Unless you are trying to scarf onion rings while flying down the interstate, I don’t see any of this ever happening.

This one hurt.

Of all video game bosses in existence, fighting game bosses are the most bullshit of them all. You typically have to find some way to cheese them to death before they do it to you.

Unfortunately for you, yes. Please report to the nearest Tetley factory for processing.

I use trig heavily at work.

Fixed:

They were working around it by using personal API keys iirc.

It goes back to the origin stated here. It was desirable because they could afford to effectively waste a lot of acreage on a crop that had no benefit. Simply for show.

Hi! We imagine that Starfleet runs NixOS here.

It is recommended to start with a simple, cheap, orb from a big box retailer. After that, you should be able to craft your own and ponder it.

Some crokinole action and Nanaimo bars.
