At least be consistent with it too! I don’t know what it’s like in the States but internationally we don’t get 7/16" bolts or whatever, we get 10-gauge or 8-gauge etc. What the fuck does that mean?? And wiring too: no 8mm wire, no no let’s have 6AWG. Jesus christ it’s like they enjoy making life difficult.
True! We used to use pounds, shillings, pence as our currency and I’m very glad I never needed to deal with that shit.
I get SO frustrated when I see a date like 4/3/2024 and have to spend time trying to figure out if it’s the 4th of March, or if some US company wrote the software I’m using and it has defaulted to silly format.
Or more noticably all the southern hemisphere penguins
The Maxx, yes. Great comic, good cartoon too. Damn it now I have to go and read it again.
That’s not what they’re talking about. Some people/businesses have a “smart” caller ID so the business name shows up instead of their number, even if you’ve never heard of or been contacted by them before.
The moon is a decent fraction if the Earth’s mass. It has been a while since I calculated it but I recall the “shared gravitation centre” is actually outside the Earth.
No, no, no, it’s not Elon who’s out of touch. It’s the advertisers who are wrong! Just wait until all of Earth, apparently, hears of how these big mean advertisers killed the wondrous and righteous place named X. There will be outrage!.. so thinks Elon anyway. What a deluded moron.
Well… they used to at least :(
Domus? Nominative? This is motion towards isn’t it, boy?
Yep, in 1975. We’ve been a bit of a puppet ever since.
They’re well aware. Famous Australians like Russell Crowe and Phar Lap would back up this claim.
Australians wish! New Zealand tends to get things right.
That and what we generally think of as “Vikings” were actually Danes, which is an insult to Swedes.
He will, right after releasing Half Life 3.
The funny thing with tax is you don’t get choose how it’s spent. Tax money is public money that ought to be spent in the public interest, and NASA is a perfectly good example of this. Other good examples are infrastructure, parks, public healthcare and free education. Bad examples of tax expenditure are the ridiculous military complex, massive corporate subsidies and contractors doing poor work that the government should be directly controlling.
The Simpsons has not been particularly funny since season 9, and I’m willing to die in this hill.
This is why we have “guilt by omission”
In this part of the country?
