“This isn’t flying. This is falling with style.”
I swear to god, and I don’t mean this sarcastically, that we had already presumed this to be the case a long, long time ago. I remember watching simulated dinosaur kinematics exactly like this (but with Apple ][ level graphics) on something like Reading Rainbow or NOVA when I was a kid.
so anti-vax will start wearing masks to protect them from airborne microchips?
err had they never seen Twister? Exactly the same concept used to monitor a tornado.
The aerial microchips could eventually track pollution and diseases.
The straight community will never make the playoffs now that she’s been traded.
I’m all about QUILTBAG as an easy-to-remember, easy-to-say, all-encompassing acronym.
Or, just watch the news!
You are wrong about the date formats. Yes, the US is the only country to use MM-DD-YYYY, while Europe and many parts of the world use DD-MM-YYYY, but the most used format in the world is YYYY-MM-DD. It’s used throughout East Asia, and well, they outnumber the rest of us.
FFS nobody born after 1965 would have any clue what imperial is. This is so ridiculous. I was born in the metric era and taught metric at my school in England. Imperial is the product of a bygone era that only exists in google convert for me. If you asked me to rough-out a yard or 4 inches on the ground, I’d have no…
Someone more famous and more funny than me made this joke:
About 10 years ago I took a job in a shop that used metric. All the machines were calibrated in Metric, the material we bought was metric (4mm steel plate instead of 3/16 which is a bit thicker.) and all our basic drawings were in metric. We bought metric tape measures from Canada. The parent company was in Scotland.
It gets worse. The US and British fluid ounces are also different. 1 US fl. oz. = 1.04 UK fl. oz. Then there’s the dry pint, in which 1 US dry pint = 1.16 US liquid pint.
How dare you dismiss the good and useful value of cubits! If it was good enough for all the people God drowned, then it is good enough for us.
The joke, of course, being that you can still order a pint at any bar in the UK because the British never really converted to metric completely.
The plan was ridiculed online as a desire for old white guys to return to the 1970s.
