My understanding of poland goes like -ultra religous -xenophobes -every once in a while “you know, polish border should go from Edinburgh to Beijing” -germany must pay us -ruined the fucking Oder -second most un-based EU country
It depends on the situation, sometimes they are really handy but most of the time we stick to kilo, centi and mili.
Where i live, Hecto (100x) is used, for example to measure distances and areas for big properties. 1 hectometro equalls 100 m, or 1 hectarea (hm^2) equals 10000 m^2.
Also, it is widely use for pressure, cause 1 atm is 1013 hPa
Decameters are used but for special situations, like quantifying natural gas consumption
We usually go for the 3 order rule, but in the case of areas and volumes, for dimensional reasons, dam and hm make it into the three order rule. Dm (or dam) is not common but dam^3 has some uses, the same goes for hm, hm is used for only special situations (like meassuring train distances), but hm^2 is almost globally used for big chunks of land. Also, with hm^2, we always keep the unit, so for example, Parque Nacional Iguazú in Argentina has 67620 hm^2 (also ha or hectarea).
I’m also an engineer and I generally despise imperial units, but I have to say that inchs are pretty handy and the 1 in = 25,4000… mm relation is pretty neat
Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
The old reddit rule says that wild things are porn and porn things are random ass photos of neat things… also, words strongly suggesting things related to the sex are just cats…
So, we need a better wording for the porn-porn tag
Psalm 104, 14:15 (while enumerating the great things God gave us)
[14] He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth: [15] wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.
Trump was important for the rest of the world when he was… you know… the president of the US… now it’s just a little mediocre guy and I understand that all the little advances in bringing him to justice are pretty important to you guys, but I couldn’t care less.
If he ever gets elected again for some reason, then we will see the potential impact, but for now he is pretty irrelevant im afraid.
The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.
Today we voted in argentina. I had to wait in line for like 20 to 25 min… not great, not terrible. 5 mins in, someone in my queue started complaining about how we can’t even manage a school for an ellection (the queues where a mess everywhere) and we are voting to ellect a president… I mean, he was right but still, save something for the end of the day
Happened to me twice on certain type of sit in which i tend to position my self too forward to avoid leaving death marks on the thing. i started pushing my jhonson a little bit down whenever theres a chance of that happening again, problem solved.
I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...
“Sound not working” is the simplified version… im not quite sure what the source of the problem was and i was originally pretty sure that it was just a hardware thing. Sound worked* on my toshiba but would randomly do horrible sounds, like a really loud buzz… it wasnt the common noise interference.
The frecuency varied between 10s in a good day to 1s and of course, time between events wasnt constant. That made listening to music or watching videos a total pain in the ass.
Looked for it on forums, it was something related to my laptop model in particular and eventually i just let it go and accepted my fate. Driver up to date, of course.
The day i switched to debian the problem just vanished…
