I remember a reference in classic literature along the lines of "go to the other [merchant - he a have longer yard, so you'd get it cheaper".
That's the fun of imperial-style units - you carry them with you.

Unfortunately, when you try to be practical it all goes into a terrible mess.
Even if they made it to the Moon with that mess, it's still a mess.

The only problem I have with understanding kilometres is that no one measures things accordingly. Distance between three telephone poles is a quarter of a mile, so in my rural area things are measured in miles...and yet the speed limit signs are written in km/h, so speed is in that scale. So either we live with the baffling discrepancy or assume that one is the other and drive incredibly fast.

Well that conversions not too hard. Just multiply kph by 1.5 and you should get a reasonably good approximation. I understand the complaints about switching from imperial to metric for everyday things like roadspeed, but I cant imagine trying to practice physics or engineering in imperial. The conversions would be pointlessly complex

It's prime time on Saturday night, and I'm...coding an Orbiter addon.

Russian media version: Proton launch failures are always so unexpected, it is hard to find words for them

Matt's version: :facepalm:

I look at a flash drive on my desk, look away for a second, look back, it's gone, stand up to look around my desk, kind of scratch my head, and it seems to pretty much come out of my ear or something, into my hand, like a magic trick. :blink:

Aww, I was sure for a second you'd say the flash drive is now diamonds.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. :lol: Wishing I had my fortune pick yesterday when I was seriously mining.
I hope you people are kidding about thinking I cheated though. I dug in a straight line for 1000-2000 blocks, glanced at caves (this is where most of them came from actually, but I didn't investigate the caves more than I had to light to not be killed), and used Fortune III. I refuse to even farm iron, gold, zombies, etc.

As is, I'm pissed off that an hour has 3600 seconds and a day 24 hours. Damn conversion from m / s to km / h is working wonders for my crazy.

Great! here I am, playing a bit of Dwarf Fortress adventurer mode, when my escape key breaks down!

You might never notice it, but there's no way to shut down DF and keep your game in such an event...

Search your PC's default programs for an on-screen keyboard.

Dear spammers:

No, I do not want to buy "Viagar".

Furthermore, even if I did, I'd still refuse to buy from anybody that can't spell the name of the product they're (purportedly) selling.

Sincerely,

Me.

Gotta learn a semester of calculus and a couple weeks of chemistry for finals tomorrow.

Don't worry, there's plenty of time remaining. You have like 12 hours. Who need sleep anyway? :lol:

Better than having to write a 15-paged thesis.

OK, I had 3 months, but somehow they magically vanished into one week...

Heads up: 3 orbital launches in 9 hours (and across the whole night for me! ) on December 19! Luckily by then I "only" have papers to do......

Oh god my head hurts...but hey, my weekend was somewhat productive. Why does productivity have to be such a migraine inducer?

One week for 15 pages? You can sleep at night!!!

Now if that's 15 pages worth of C++/Java code..... :rofl:

In Java it would be simple. One small Netbeans RCP module for a new filetype with annotations and JavaDoc. :lol: About one night of work.
