It’s all in what flare the square has. Colorado is the nice rectangle. Kansas is the long boi with a bite out of a corner. Utah is the square with a little square hat. Idaho is the retarded Utah immitator. Wyoming is the square stuck between them all only meant for fireworks and weirdos. Uh… what else…
Being hostile to a real question’s answers is also not begging the question.
Begging the question is a logical fallacy where someone is purposefully leaving out info or otherwise twisting things to end at a conclusion that was never properly supported. The point is there is an unsupported conclusion they’re trying to jump to.
Simply asking a question, even one with an obvious or sarcastic answer, is seldom “begging the question”.
Ehhhhh… measurements aren’t that hard to learn. They’re still measuring the same kinds of things. All measurements are still arbitrary to a human.
Basically the ONLY thing the metric system has over imperial is it matches our number system by being base-10. I know I know, it’s a BIG difference for a lot of calculations to not have to throw in non-matching unit conversions, and the metric system is ultimately based on absolute values pulled from the universe. At least by definition, as meaningless as that fact is to humans just looking at a length and going, “yup, that’s about 1 1/2 meters.”.
Anyone who failed to build an intuition simply didn’t use units enough. A lot of US carpenters like imperial units for a similar reason most like the metric system: The ratios match up to what they work with. Most people work with base-10 numbers A LOT more than base 8, 12, or 16. Though for woodworkers, when boards come in feet, blades are clean fractions of inches in size, and buildings are sized 8’ tall, etc, etc, it all lines up nicely to reduce a worker’s mental load.
I still think metric is superior, but imperial very much is not “senseless”. The biggest reason we’ll never switch is because so many industries have their ratios set for imperial units or interact with other American construction based on those ratios. Not to mention maintenance on things already built. It’d be a huge headache of a transition for many industries.
I agree, that’s why I said, “… they simply don’t use the units enough.”
I know imperial VERY well, but that’s because I lift weights listed in lbs and craft things all the time, which takes measuring. I also do 3d printing in metric, so I have a solid feel for millimeters, centimeters, and decimeters, but less so full meters because I seldom work on that scale.
Considering I had an intuition for lbs as a child, though… I don’t really buy that people suck at their native units as adults. If they do, they’re simply not paying attention.
No, that sounds more like you have a sleep issue you are neglecting and now you’re making it everyone else’s problem…
Grow up and fix yourself before you start being proud about being broken, ffs. If it’s remotely a problem to stay awake after sleep and caffeine, you should be talking to doctors.
If I had to guess, they’re the excited corporations jumping on the rainbow capitalism bandwagon now that it’s June, always eager to say, “we support you (one month out of the year in an attempt to pander)!!”, and Tuvak is the actual lgbtq+ community going, “lol no”.
Though it doesn’t strike me as too obvious, so who knows if that matches the intent.
Yea, that stuff made me stop playing in a couple days. I don’t want a fucking game to tease me about shit I literally cannot experience any more just because the devs didn’t want to let everyone play all the content they already made.
It was obvious I was already not getting even the core experience, and FUCK any game that locks contents even behind seasons. I’m busy these days. I still want to get to the content, just not on THEIR shitty forced timeframe.
It is, in fact, not BS to be mad at a megacorp for cutting valuable and functioning assets, and the fact you do not understand that is hilariously pathetic.
If you’re aware of people and games that do fit, then whining about it and talking about how they get crapped on instead of how cool their sfuff is doesn’t help, either!
You seem to be more willing to paint things negatively than help improve, so why should we listen?
I mean, yeah, if you’re expecting intelligent long term decisions, those expectations are still too high.
Remember: This is the group of people STILL actively trying to cover up anthropogenic climate change. Something that not only threatens their long term profitability, but literally threatens the planet with extinction.
If you live in the US, the government practically hands your data over to credit score agencies.
Agencies that HAVE been hacked in the past, as well. People are too ignorant for their own good if they’re this pissed at Sony whilst Equifax isn’t burned to the ground…
Suits only think in green, and assume “consumers” do only that: consume.
I’ve been waiting 20 years for people to realize it, and that’s only because I’m young compared to others who have realized what capitalism is: Institutionalized greed.
When reaching out to politicians, a MUCH better angle might be devices that get the same treatment, and then just make sure video games and other software get included.
Example: Fitbit and other purpose-built devices. A TON of functionality goes down when they shutter their servers. To the point where some devices immediately become e-waste.
These companies are literally producing toxic garbage.
He literally teleported the entire Enterprise across the galaxy with the snap of his fingers (or what ever it was, it’s been ages), waved to the borg, and went back. He might go out the airlock just to wave at you from outside to mock you before teleporting back in.
Though he did have a penchant for theatrics, so he’d probably send the captain out the airlock instead, literally let him die in front of the crew, and bring him back aware of the experience (at least early Q, before humans grew on him)…
Oh, it VERY much will hurt their sales, just not this quarter. Though in ten years when Nintendo is wondering why they’re struggling to grow a new fan base, they might remember all the people they pissed off who now are not introducing their children to Nintendo.

A bigger immediate threat, but not the bigger threat. If you survive the initial blast and flash, fallout is almost certainly the biggest thing any survivors will be dealing with, outside of plenty of fires that WILL be started just by the light and radiation.
At least as far as overtly deadly things. Of course what ever has been blown up won’t be helping, but it won’t actively hurt like fallout or fires will.
Yea, the wind can definitely push fallout around. Though if you even have to worry about it, you’ve survived the blast. A shockwave you can see coming is going to have to nail you pretty hard to kill you. Of course a nuke can do that, but it’s also putting out insane amounts of light. If you’re openly vulnerable to the shockwave before you can react, chances are you’re already fried from the light.
Question: What’s the hole for? Are we just waiting for it to get big enough that he falls in on his own? That sounds like a great way to end up with a bunch of holes everywhere with wooping morons in them…
He’s only doing this as a PR move. He himself likely doesn’t give a shit either way because he doesn’t have a uterus and it’s purely posture. Always. The other Republicans are just lying when they say they don’t want it. They want it, just without the bad PR right before an election.
