What happened? Also I realize I said the wrong place, I meant o’hare

50% of Canadians live below the 49th parallel is very similar in most reapects

Continental crusts are an observable and measurable thing

They contain higher concentrations of aluminum whereas you find higher concentrations of magnesium outside of those crusts.

They are geological features and should be categorized accordingly. Eurasia makes way more sense than Europe being its own special thing… Except Europe, historically, likes to pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist in their concepts and as such always considers itself special

Hard disagree. These other things being varied are different in one very very important way.

Science is metric. Even in America it’s not controversial to use metric in science, it’s mostly required.

And we have come to understand the world in so much amazing detail, as well as the universe at large because we can understand each other when we need to explain the knowledge we are unlocking with science

If we all have that common base we have proven that we are much much much more capable when we do. So the metric system IS the better choice because it’s what we use when we NEED to be using the same frame of references.

If we can remove the burden of having to relearn basic units of measurement when you have an interest in higher learning, why the hell would you want to waste time having to learn that as an adult?

Anyway that’s my argument for metric being clearly a better direction. Because it’s what built the modern world and is one of the few things that humanity got right(even if there are still hilariously ridiculous things inside it to poke fun at!)

That’s my argument anyway, I do hope I have convinced you though I dont expect to. And I think it’s really more of a matter of when are we just going adopt it and give those that come after us that benefit

But a classic 12" ruler is 30 cm.

Half of that is 6" or 15cm

Half again is 3". Or 7.5"

Then realize visualizing didn’t need to be accurate because it never will be anyway and go from there.

An inch is about 2.5 cm if you need a quick and dirty reference.

Converting by halfs was my go to.

Interesting. Didn’t know it meant that but I can see it now…

I’m taking about what a documentary said “hardtack biscuits” that was popular on the old wooden sailing ships.

They even went through a recipe and tried to recreate them. Holy jaw breakers batman

Some sailor that was like for the love of God can I please have ateast one. Biscuit that isn’t cooked 7 times. Just cook it once please!

Timing is everything

That is an amazing alt history theory!

I miss Dolby Axon

Yes and the song is indirectly related to said deodorant

Iirc they called them bulking agents in the article I rememebered

Reading the labels helps avoid the truly shitty makers. There was a brand of fake parmesan cheese that got outed for having higher than 45% filler in their grated Parmesan cheese. 50% of the filler was the cellulose powder.

The worst offenders are NOT a small percentage. It’s usually easy to notice because it’s so much cheaper than the rest on the shelf but not always

I think also hesitency

Reminds me of an old co worker who couldn’t fathom why his gf got so horny whenever he was sweaty

Fucking laughable, we already do

I’ve responded to and had Stamets comment on some of my posts. Don’t know anything about Violet

To be fair, pardons exist for cases such as The Hurricane
