I don’t think you read my response. I wasn’t attacking you at all. I’m not one of those mean shits on here. I certainly meant no aggression.

Lol. Dude, with all due respect, did you skip breakfast or something? First, body parts? Take a drink of water, please. You’re dehydrated. Also, although I agree imperial isn’t completely useless, one of its strengths is not because the size of the contental United States. It’s not like miles and kilometers are orders of magnitude different when measuring an identical distance. Lightyears and astronomical units are terrible units to use to describe a drive from LA to NYC for this reason, but is it really that big if a deal between choosing miles and kilometers? I don’t see it that way.
The main reason why I use metric with my work is because I commonly deal in millimeters / sub-inches. If I used inches, everything would be shitty fractions and I hate fractions. To me, metric is just cleaner when increasing or decreasing magnitudes. Which I generally stay within cm and mm.
Within industrial applications, such a building a structure in the US, yeah, it makes sense to stick ti imperial because it is indeed the national unit of measurement. But outside that reason, I don’t find much of a benefit. Coincidentally, I moved off grid 3 weeks ago and am building a cabin way out in the woods. Because its just me and I plan to stay here until my end, I’ll definitely use metric. If I was just developing a place I intended to flip, I’d use Imperial singularly because I’m in the US.
Yes. I misspoke. Millimeters ÷ 25.4= inches. Inches x 25.4 = mm.
I’m an American and every last bit of my shop is metric. It is the superior unit of measurement in every aspect. I don’t bother with imperial at all. If I have to list dimensions online in imperial, just multiply mm x 25.4 which gives me inches. That’s as far as Ill go into inches and feet.
I’ve said this before and Ill say it again, the US was robbed of the superior unit of measurement.
Shout out to the mole people in our precious sewers.
Fun fact: There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?
2·10 months agoThat was the first aspect of the game that really got my attention. For the first like 8 hours or so, I found myself more excited to hear whatever song was next than whatever the missions or gear upgrade may have been ahead.
I think CP77 is a good game now but the only masterpiece aspect of it is the way they painted over everything with some of the most bizarre and mind bending music in a game. I dont mean the theme music. The sounds your bombarded with just walking through NC is the life force of the city and the #1 reason why it feels alive at all and not just a game city.
The background hum of the city is what sold the whole game for me. Without that, I think CP77 would be kind of another “whatever” FPRPG by now. The music make it a masterpiece.

And to add the cherry on top, should you ever reach his arbitrary speed limit, it distorts time itself. Even if you flew through space at c for a little weekend getaway, you’d return to a now foreign world only to find time had skipped forward +2,000 years, your entire family and social circles long dead from old age with societal and technical advancements beyond what you could have ever thought possible, completely isolating you. You’re now doomed to live in an unfamiliar world where not a single human speaks your language nor can they relate to you in any meaning way.
AKA, gods speeding ticket.

[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•GOOOOOOOOOOD morning!English
8·1 year agoI’m gunna finish this coffee, feed the cats and then spend all day in my CNC workshop finishing up a big project, a really kickass frame for an old autographed TOOL album, Opiate, I’ve been meaning to frame for over 13 years. I might even fire up the smoker and make some ribs. Wife is out of town on a business trip so I’ll prolly drink a bunch of beer, fire up some of that sticky-icky, and go through a bunch of my favorite early 90’s G-funk albums.

9·2 years ago“High-IQ” aka boot lickers who agree with everything Musk says or does and are willing to do so for no compensation. And let’s consider those who have the financial means “work” for free. The over privileged fundees who think they earned their wealth by hard work even those its all daddy’s money… Rining any bells? Unpaid positions are exactly what we don’t need to help with combat our economic woes anyways.
