To a mathematician, pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993
To an engineer, pi is 3
The joke is basically the same, since you get resistors in certain values, and it’s necessary to select the value closest to the one you need

Norway used to count like the Germans, but switched after the introduction of the telephone. There were simply too many mistakes when telling the numbers to the operators, that a change was mandated.
Old people might still use the 2+90 variant though, but it is not very common.

My wife’s name sounds like Annette Alonso (not her real name - this one is made up) , and her new employer had standardised emails the first two letters from the first name and the first two letters from last name. You bet she was furious with anal@company.com, given that she was going to be working with clients. She ultimately got it changed to anna@company.com

That’s actually false. Bread is one of the few items that turn bad quicker in the fridge than on the counter. www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/…/bread-storage

I’ve actually done this successfully. TSA agent knocked on it, and said no problem.
If i somehow would be stopped, I’d love to argue what is liquid or not, and what could be liquid if it’s just hot enough.

Do you have border control between states? It’s basically the same thing with schengen. No control between countries on the “inside”, but rigorous control to get in.

As soon as I saw that weirdly proportioned wide eyed actress, I knew this was going to be a bad one. Charlize Theron did well as Furiosa, but I can’t picture Anya Taylor-Joy portraying Furiosa in a believable way.

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???
I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I’ve never had one, so I have limited experience with it.
