How is it “taking their meastaking their measurement system and fucking it up”?

USA uses inch, feet, yard. There is small, medium, large.

Metric has centimeters, decimeters, meters. There is small, medium, large.

Everyone knows a yard and a meter are about the same. Everyone also knows centimeters are tiny.

When someone who doesn’t use the metric system thinks of how tall they are, they use feet. Medium.

I’m 2 yards tall. Someone that’s 5 feet tall is 1 2/3 yards. 5 1/2 feet is 1.83 yards.

You wouldn’t use yards to measure a person. You’d use feet.

When you ask someone that doesn’t use metric how tall someone is they have to pick between cm or m. Most people couldn’t tell you in yards so how do you expect them to do it in meters?

If they just had to think in feet and then ×3 to get decimeters, it would be easy to convert. Maybe even have a decimeter ruler.

5.5 feet is 16.5 dm with quick math. Or 1.65m. Truly, it is 1.68m.

3 decimeters is equal to 1 foot.

1 yard is equal to 9 decimeters.

Just multiply by 3

I’m 6 ft tall. If someone asks me how tall I am in metric, I just say 18 decimeters.

An American football field is 100 yards, or 300 feet. 900 decimeters.

An 8ft board is 24 decimeters

Really not that hard to convert. Sadly no one that uses the metric system uses decimeters for some reason.

A standard doorway in US is 3 ft. Has to be that for code. 91.4 cm or .91 meters. If you used 9 decimeters it would only be .5 inch off.

You round to 90 cm you’d be .5 inch off. If you round to .9 meters you’d be almost .5 inch off.

If the metic system was shown to the US as decimeters, they would be on board more.

It’s like a large trading card that you can use to play music

Iron Maiden and Slayer are vastly different

You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

Yeah, they can weigh up to 2000lbs with a king-size bed. A king-size bed is 6,080 sq in.

A fridge can weigh 300lb being 36"×30". 1,152 sq in.

Fridge is .26 pounds per sq inch. A water bed is .33 pounds per sq inch.

So while heavy the weight is distributed basically like a fridge. This is assuming an empty fridge.

As for durability, a quality waterbed mattress is thick. You aren’t going to pop it or cut it without deliberately trying to.

Even if you took a knife and stabbed it from the top, it’s not going to leak until you put weight on it.

That’s a misconception for water beds.

High-quality water beds have stabilizer pads in the mattress

The idea of the old crappy 70’s water bed where they slosh around is a poor idea.

You aren’t laying on a ziploc bag barely filled with any water.

It’s more like a ziploc bag filled with molasses. If I pushed a corner down it would slowly bring up everywhere else. If I stopped pushing a corner it everything would slowly go back down.

Say I have a massive gut and sleeping on my right side. I’m displacing X amount of water. If I was to turn to my left side I am still displacing the same amount of water. Just the empty space that use to hold my gut would be filled with the water from the other side where my gut is now. Someone on other side of bed wouldn’t even feel it because the water underneath them doesn’t change.

This is why water beds are amazing

Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.

Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can’t really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)

The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you’ll stay warm with a blanket

Not everyone wants to binge a show from start to finish

For example, I really enjoyed the episodes of the office that I have watched. It was many years ago and it was only random episodes I caught while airing on TV.

Went to Netflix to watch at started on episode 1. From what I hear season 1 isn’t the greatest. I got through a couple episodes and then thought to myself, this is going to take so many nights of watching to watch them all in order. Never watched another again.

Now if I could turn on the television and say S6EP7 was playing I’d probably enjoy watching it. Might even watch the next episode too.

With classic TV you also get the feeling that you’re watching the show with others.

Channel 1 is having a Harry Potter bingeathon. I catch it on episode 3 and continue to watch it. I’ve seen them all multiple times so I don’t really care where I start. But it’s nice knowing others are having a HP bingeathon with me on a Saturday afternoon. If I was sitting there with my plex server, I could play any HP. But I’m never going to put it on and if I did it would just be me watching the show.

Pro tip:

Always max hot water (or hot water only if separate) to warm up shower fastest and save water. It’s a win win.

Turning it 3/4 or something to desired temperature takes longer to heat up and wastes both hot and cold water.

It’s not that logical to really care how your hair looks

Vulcan’s hair could simply grow to this length and stop.

Imagine being so incapable of washing your penis that you need a bunch of it removed.

They should have said “Imagine being so incapable of washing your child’s penis that you need a bunch of it removed.”

A child’s penis in a dirty diaper could get quite nasty with foreskin if the parents don’t wash and change the diaper regularly.

The cleanliness thing is for the lack of parenting. And the parents make that choice.

Genital mutilation is a big deal

People get angry at piercing infant ears, but somehow cutting off foreskin is normal.

What if we were ripping off infant fingernails?

Studies have shown that a lot of bacteria collect under them, and if we removed the fingernails, kids would get sick less.

Why don’t you get your appendix removed as an infant?

You wouldn’t want to risk it rupturing as an adult

Foreskin is natural. The likelihood of you needing it removed is slim to none.

Just look at all the other countries that don’t circumcise. Are all the adults getting circumcised later in life? No.

The problem is you don’t know how good it is to have foreskin. It’s like you growing up with no fingernails. You wouldn’t know how good fingernails were.

Not everyone is cut the same

Some get more, and some get less cut off.

Sounds like you were fortunate and got less cut off.

Circumcision is common in US, mentioning lotion with masterbating is common.

Like you said, no one would use lotion unless they had to.

Prequels weren’t great, but they were decent. I’d recommend watching them.

There is a lot to live up to being prequels. People going to judge harshly.

7-8 were just plain bad, I enjoy Star Wars stuff a bunch. I like the prequels more than most I feel. I don’t even have one single care to watch the 9th.

I doubt it will change in 10 years.

Memes, sure, but they will be only how bad they suck. People who meme about the prequels usually enjoyed them at least a little.

No, because knowing the first child is a boy doesn’t tell you any information about the second child.

Three doors, Girl Girl Boy

You select a door and Monty opens a door to show a Girl. You had higher odds of picking a girl door to start (2/3). So switching gives you better odds at changing to the door with the Boy because you probably picked a Girl door.

Here the child being a boy doesn’t matter and the other child can be either.

It’s 50/50 assuming genders are 50/50.

I have two degrees from a university. I went in 2008.

If you were 16 in 1990 you would have been 21 years old when Dexter’s Lab came out.

I know when I was 21 I wasn’t watching the newest “kid” show on nickelodeon
