Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

OMG the sadness!!! What's wrong with these people?

Someone need to teach these people how to cook real food for human.

Due to a mix-up, I ended up eating deer tenderloin two evenings in a row. Not that I'm complaining. It was fantastic both nights. <3

And because we don't let food go bad in this household, I'll probably eat more for lunch tomorrow xD

The secret is to figure out how much you're going to eat the day-of so you can leave any expectant leftovers slightly undercooked. That way they're perfect when you reheat them.

what about real xers you *** BIGOT

girl you in da system now

for temperature (unless you're boiling water) using a person based system makes more sense than a water based system. It's definitely better for weather too.

Really is funny how often Metric and Imperial come up in conversation here lol

I hate how absolutely everything is 50/50 mm or inches. Just sheer assholery.

Also; lets wrap this phillips/flathead/torx/allen *** up too kthx

Everyone knows Robertson heads are the best anyway.

Now if there is such a thing as kilo-inch, mega-inch and no more feet and such then I am okay but who tf uses base 12 and base 16 with no other options?

Even computing these days use kilo, mega, giga even if they have weird multiplication of 1024 which everyone and their mama just want to round them to 1000 like proper easy to remember calculations.

I mean, technically those exist. Certain fields already use Decimal Inches because it's easier to work with than fractions.

Nothing out there saying we can't say a mile is 1.76 kiloyards. But I bet it's going to start a lot of arguments on here XD

Yeah, that always worries me too. For example, the Hyperbole and a Half creator (author of the image below) posted some pretty good stuff in her blog before suddenly dropping off the face of the planet, with her last post being about depression. It caused a fair amount of suicide speculation.

Then she came back years later to announce a new book (which is quite good), showing that you can never really be sure what these creators are actually up to when they disappear.



On a similar note, I miss GM Dave.... That was a great series.

laughs in pozi

I remember the first time I read the entry titled "Dogs don't understand basic concepts like moving" and I found myself laughing so hard that my stomach hurt afterwards. There were a few that had me in literal tears from laughter. I think about the "Alot" a lot, too.

The posts about her intellectually challenged dog are some of the funniest things I have ever read.

The pictures she draws to complement her stories are so comical.

Just now I went back and skimmed through a couple of paragraphs and still found myself laughing out loud

SE somehow saw thru my attempt to double dip in their screenshot campaign ;/. It usually works but not this time I guess they looked at the actual account.

I said person based for temperature, not other measurements, each have a reason. Yes it makes more sense for people to comprehend temperature when it relates to them. I don't expect a Canadian to understand. But sure, rip on the scale used by a guy who made the first reproducible thermometer that was to a standard before he was even 30. I'm sure you've done things equally as important to human history in that time.

I appreciate having a scale with larger numbers. Fahrenheit is the only Imperial number that I don't mind at all because it's still pretty useful and at least doesn't need to be divided or multiplied by made-up numbers.

But temperature is all relative and arbitrary anyway. I know the idea is "0 degrees feels cold, 100 degrees feels hot", but anything colder than like 55 degrees or hotter than 85 degrees is already enough to start slowly killing you from exposure. At that point it's just a matter of how quickly, and how much you do to combat it. Fahrenheit was designed with its numbers chosen at random anyway. 30 degrees for freezing point of water (which was wrong) and 90 degrees for internal human body temperature (which was also wrong).

So in defense of Celsius, at least it's based on something a little less arbitrary. Knowing the freezing and boiling points of water (on Earth) are handy for literally every science, and extremely useful for food storage and cooking. It's also helpful to know at a glance if you need to cover your garden from frost.

Except it isn't the thing that is stupid. This is why people should pay attention in math. History and science too.
