  Surface Mount Technology, obviously!

  A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.

  Astronomers already use Julian Dates for various reasons. Right now it’s 2460261.2834606, it’ll be later by the time you read this. Julian dates/times are fractional days starting from January 1st, 4713 = 0. Just keep counting up from there.

  Or meat. Humans are mostly meat.

  Same, I’ve tiny hands and a Note 9. Works fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨England’s concrete crisis could extend to hospitals and courts, experts say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Roman concrete was more durable than most modern concrete, but was much, much weaker. It also relied on volcanic ash, which isn’t as readily available as the ingredients for portland cement. Being able to have larger freestanding spans and lower construction costs due to reinforcement is usually worth a much shorter design lifetime.

  The reinforced aerated autoclaved concrete was clearly a mistake, trying to make a concrete foam to reduce weight meant that more water could get to the rebar and cause corrosion much more quickly than in normal reinforced concrete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What more need be said about it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Valuing a person’s worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.

  Of course you don’t value people based on their productivity! That’s downright anti-American “from each according to his ability” commie talk! You value people based on their net worth! One Dollar, One Vote, that’s what I always say.

  You can get this and a PhD at the same time! Hope the doctorate is in a marketable field if you ever want to pay off the debt.

  A picture of a shoe, with laces, which have plastic aglets on the ends.
