some of the popular ones are measured in metric, but there’s plenty that are not.

your hut is in the middle. the food delivery is at one end or the other because you
don’tcan’t tip enough (weren’t given any money) for the dashers to risk their lives delivering a sack of soggy tacos. - Comment on We interrupt your regularly scheduled shitposting for a special Presidential address from the White House 1 week ago:

he’s not even sincere with the ‘patriotism’ either. it’s just an act. he’s sold-out america countless times for a payday.

exactly, so why not lighten the mood with some MistleHo, instead.
when caught underneath it, you must sing TinyBubbles… first solo, then together.

it’s as “american” as cheese can be: white american “prepared cheese product”, individually-wrapped for extra plastic waste.
you can get actual white american cheese that’s sliced (or block form). the ‘default’ cheese from subway is exactly that: sliced white american cheese.
the individually-wrapped singles slices and sliced or block american cheese are two different products. in the supermarket the difference is best illustrated by ‘kraft singles’ vs ‘kraft deli deluxe’ products.

that’s a fine Potent Orokin Technical Augmentation and Tactical Offensive device. better hide it cuz darvo is always on the look-out to steal those.
- Comment on How come manufacturers use base 10 units when calculating the space of a hard drive? Giving you 931GB per TB Hard Drive. Why not advertise the number windows reads? 3 weeks ago:
iirc the early hdd did use binary units for specifications. marketing and greed got them to switch to the ‘larger’ decimal-based units… bigger numbers sell better or some bullshit.
there’s been lawsuits over it, which is why the retail boxes and manufacturer web sites have the disclaimer about them using decimal-based units.
- Comment on Electronic Arts to Cut 400 Jobs, Shut Down BioWare 3 weeks ago:
before, actually. as soon as bioware execs started sniffing the asses of potential buyers. it wouldn’t have mattered which of the game giants sucked up the pieces, the outcome would have been the same. the corpo-culture would chase the talent away and the studio would fade away.

Spain adopted the metric system in 1852 and by the time, they weren’t the most advanced country
perhaps when the u.s. finally reaches the level of 1852 spain, americans will switch too.

can’t do the rat pellets either, unless you and a bunch of your buddies, who also each have three bucks for lunch, are gonna share a bag.
- Comment on meal choice 3 weeks ago:
in the u.s. for common mass-market brands of each, that is also true. about the same price by weight.
dehydrators are not terribly expensive, and jerky isn’t difficult to make at home.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
it’s the sneaky ‘update and …’ options that get added to the poweroff submenu that often get in the way to produce unexpected ‘updates’ during a boot.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
the default for some distributions these days is to apply updates on restarts (which produced win-like update progress screens) instead of ‘immediately’ (and leaving a kernel update hanging and waiting for one).

those don’t go on “all” doorways, obviously. the house we had when i was a little kid had several of them but not as doors to bedrooms or bathrooms.

give me earth tones, stained hardwoods, shag carpets, swag lamps, and bead curtains on doorways (and real ones over windows) over this millennial shit.

rentals in the u.s. generally include stovetop and oven (or combined ‘range’) and refrigerator (with freezer), and microwave if it’s ‘built-in’.
