Yep, but mainly meant for computer screens rather than paper, no?

It’s not? The p stands for portable, which implies a digital format for software use. Maybe you’re thinking of postscript?
- Comment on You've Just Been Hit By The Metric System Boys 1 week ago:
Are you saying that you can estimate fractional lengths by eye better in imperial than in metric, or that using a fractional measuring device is more precise than using no device at all? Neither option seems like a good point tbh.
But let’s entertain that since imperial is a fractional system it makes cutting fractions of foot-long boards easier. For 1/6 that’s 2", very cool, mission accomplished, much superior than 16.7cm. But what if you need to cut 1/5 or 1/7? Now you need to work with 1/32" subdivisions while metric stays the same and allows you to keep working at however many decimal positions of accuracy the job requires. A 1/7m board can be 14.3cm if you’re going to use it as timber, or 142.86mm if it’s for aerospace applications. Unless I’m not allowed to use any measuring device, because reasons?
Fractions and bases don’t relate to each other in the way you think they do

Most password managers stay open for a configurable amount of time, plus you can use hardware tokens for more convenient/secure unlocking. And having to remember the master password without it being stored anywhere but your brain is kinda the whole point

There’s a timestamp at the top, this post is almost 10 years old.
People always seem to try and characterize 4chan as a homogenous userbase, but it’s possibly the only place on the internet where transphobic and trans-porn posts sit next to each other
