While I "get" why people like metric, I'm sorry, I much prefer a system derived from day-to-day, practical distances rather than mathematically derived values without much grounding in human life.

Ofc, metric is still much more useful in some circumstances, and I absolutely advocate it's dominance in the hard sciences, because math nice

Also, points about temperature measurements a friend made: 1 degree in Farenheit is about the difference in temperature humans can really feel.

Also, HUGE L for Celsius that decimals regularly have to be used to express temperature, where whole numbers, in Farenheit, are usually enough to tell you exactly what you need

Anyway, speaking of posts that make terminally online people mad

(sorry, I'm feeling saucy today)

I want to point out that the post was not mad about violence in general, but specifically the apocalyptic blank slate one. That I can get behind. A lot of people stop short of doing anything at all, because if it's not a cure-all solution then what is the point, and the only cure-all solution is a tactical nuke.

I'll be the first to admit that a societal collapse is a nice, comforting fantasy, but fantasies don't exactly write legislations, plant trees or feed the homeless.

Every action is meaningful against the nightmare going on in Palestine. Keep pushing.

“The violence of the Left is symbolic, the injuries are not intended. The violence of the Right is real - directed at people, designed to cause injuries. Vietnam, nuclear weapons, police out of control are intentional forms of violence. The violence from the Right is aimed directly at people and the violence from the Left is aimed at institutions and symbols.”

― George Carlin
