Twice around the hickenloop.

I don’t actually see an argument anywhere? Just an observation, so the downvote confuse me. Is everyone on a hair trigger because of all that manufactured controversy?

She’s also got tan lines that would make a cyclist proud while blonde needs to get out more.

fuck monocultures.

I have to disagree. We can’t have too many monocultures.

so I’m unclear about why they follow EU mandates at all

We’re in the EEA which at this point includes EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. We get to be part of the common market and have free movement of goods and people and whatnot. But it requires “harmonising” rules across the market so that you don’t get technical hurdles instead of straight up tariffs. And then we have no say in these harmonised rules because we’re not in the EU 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don’t forget the sticky bit and chown root for extra convenience!

You can probably update the, search url template for Google in the Firefox settings to go to the Web tab. Or make a new one and make it default.

Ah, that’s why my pasta tasted so salty at lunch.

Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group?

Who cares!

Sounds delightful

Amen!

Well, that was certainly decisive.

Short form is used in English only and was reluctantly adopted outside of the US since the 'mericans weren’t going to budge. Any science done in other languages uses the more logical form. I’ve done it myself in 3 of them. And it’s weird how I fluently translate between American billion and international milliard or American trillion and international billion. But I’m sure there is going to be a rocket blown up over this at some point.

Why more logical? Billion, prefix bi for 2 is million squared. Trillion, prefix tri for 3 is million cubed. Septillion, prefix sep for 7 is? Honestly, though, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter that much. It’s just grating that were being yanked backwards. However slightly. And yes, that pun was intentional.

Sure, the US didn’t come up with the imperial measuring system but everyone else has moved on. Miles were used by the Romans but were they the same miles? Everyone had their own foot… the story about Napoleon being short was simply that he was measured in French feet and they were longer than English feet so he amounted to fewer of them. I guess it’s slightly better now that there is only one set* of archaic pre-enlightenment units in play :shrug:

*having said all that, some of the US measurements don’t quite coincide with the UK ones but I can’t remember any if those details. But it’ll probably kill a other rocket too.

PS I dare you to look up the Swedish mile.

Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.

Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.

That seems odd. You’d expect that if the cpu is doing the encryption and can do 3GB/s for the internal disk then it can do the same for the external one and be limited by the USB or disk speed of 1 GB/s
