We kind of do have metric inches, insofar as machinists work in 'thou’s (thousands of an inch) But that’s kind of specialist

And isn’t 1kg of water 1L? And 1L is 1000 cubic cm? So a 10x10x10 cube?

And Pluto knows that Pluto’s Hot shit And you know Pluto knows it “I won’t ever be a planet It don’t matter 'cause I know that I’m still” Hot shit “And you’re hot shit too, so get out of your brain And just do what you’re supposed to do” - Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
The barycenter is different for each planet-sun (or any two object) pairing.
The earth and moon have a barycenter which is beneath the surface of earth. Likewise, the barycenter of the sun-earth pair is below the surface of the sun

2 Seasons? I can’t imagine spending enough time to watch 20-40 episodes of something before beginning to like it.

For everyone asking about the husband, looks like he did indeed bail on his kids and set up shop on the coast with a new family.

I don’t think South Africa wants him back either.

Australia is pretty weird about porn too. For years their rules basically ensured all female porn actors get boob jobs and took scissors to their labia.

And this is how people get into electroplay…I, uh, assume.
- Comment on Laptop dreams 1 month ago:
Agreed. I prefer a ‘proper’ dock like the HP ultra Slim dock 2013 or the Lenovo ThinkPad pro dock, where you set the laptop into it and you’re good to go, but times change and the current usb-c thunderbolt docks are reasonably decent now. One cable if your laptop doesn’t have insane power demands, or two if you use a laptop with >100W draw

At that time she’d been asking for 1 year older than her, but for reasons unknown Don refused to budge on that.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
For the sake of semantics, there is a difference between saying “I want to” and “I will” when it comes to threatening, and it’s on par with how saying “in my opinion” can save you from liability due to slander.
“I want to” isn’t a threat in the eyes of the law. Well, American law anyway.

I believe MotoAsh was talking about the local hole which is different from the more recent we’re in a black hole discussion.
I was not stating that the unprovable is actually fact.

Nah, there’s been a bunch of discussion about our entire universe being inside a black hole.

No, it’s a sad tale that would be amusing if it wasn’t real people, and has occupied a lot of brain time at 4chan and among gamergate-involved persons. If you want to know more, knowyourmeme has a reasonably objective article.

Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options
- Yes, if it’s steam
- Yes, if it’s Epic
- No
- STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts

The writing in two was really good. I didn’t and still don’t care who got the writer’s WiiU, I just cared that the story was fun.

Phil Fish struck me as someone who needed to huff either his own farts or copium to get through the day. I hope he’s doing ok now.
- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 2 months ago:
Same in ours.
Myself and another guy went to a tech junket that was by invite only and they gave away a laptop to one person from each company who attended. My boss tried to take the laptop from the other guy saying “that was a gift and you need to turn it over to me”
I’d already cleared it with our corporate conflict of interest ombudsman - if I’d accepted it, it would have been an issue because I had purchasing authority, but other guy was “just” a tech who couldn’t sign off on anything or even make recommendations to anyone other than me, we didn’t have an existing business relationship with the vendor, and we’re not obligated to conduct any business with them as a result of the gift.
I told my boss to take it up with head-of-department (whom I’d copied in on the ombudsman comms.)
Other guy kept the laptop, and boss got ‘audited’ for gifts received (they pulled his emails) and was demoted into a position he wasn’t able to handle (more technical than he was capable of, but on paper should have been able to do) and pushed out of the company soon thereafter.

I mean, the details on the gun mount make sense if it’s remotely operated. Usually AI ‘fuzzes’ the details and I see what looks like an ir window and some other things I’d expect to see on a remote controlled turret. 🤷Not sure though.
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 4 months ago:
Fair. Worf did a lot of shitty things, I think the PIC writers were trying to have his character attone a bit, but then he also murders an unarmed ferengi…so 🤔
