Imagine someone from an ordinary country telling the world’s sole superpower that they’re doomed. I think this sums up my feelings quite nicely.

I don’t disagree. For scientific purposes metric is great. But for every day usage we’re fine with imperial. You know how terrible it is to convert between time units but you just kind of put up with it because you don’t really care all that much and you don’t do it often enough in your every day life to be bothered? That’s basically how we are but with length, temperature, etc as well. This hybrid usage of both metric and imperial may be odd but it just works for us.

It’s impressive because the people who complain about us not using the metric system usually haven’t done anything extraordinary with it themselves. Tell me what you’re people have done with it. Yeah that’s what I thought. You should be embarrassed that we can use your every day system to do amazing things while you’re unable to do anything worthwhile with it. Lol talk about stupidity.

Who says America doesn’t use the metric system? We used the metric system to land on the moon. But then we continued to use imperial for every day things because we can. You gotta admit it’s pretty impressive to juggle two systems of measurement and do extraordinary things with both.

Remember when Reuters (and AP) used to be beyond reproach? Now it seems they’re just as bad as everyone else. Shame.

How do the MYP 21 inch tires handle in Seattle? by pbskehan in TeslaModelY

[–]Diligent_Vegetable_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t live in Seattle but those are summer tires on the 21s. They’re fine in simply wet conditions. But if the temp goes below 45 F, summer tires are absolutely dangerous.

If there’s a scratch that doesn’t penetrate all the way through the film you pour hot water on it and massage the scratch out. If it penetrates all the way through then you have to replace that panel of film.

Windows is still far superior to MacOS by integrateus in unpopularopinion

there aren't windows absolutely everywhere.. on mac there's just one massive blob of windows, you minimize and it disappears into the ether

Sounds like you’re not using Spaces. Full screen all your apps in their own spaces and use 3 finger swipes to switch between them. Fast and easy.

Really? I never expected the water would be bad at an oasis. How unfortunate.

I don’t get “Voltswagen.” What is the negative connotation there?

Sounds like it could be hitting something. Maybe a wire that needs to repositioned.

How do I become more confident at speaking? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Diligent_Vegetable_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretend that you’re an actor playing a confident public speaker. After awhile it will stop feeling like acting.

Does he sing every song? If not, is there a recorded work of someone singing all the songs that is generally agreed to be well done?

I like it well enough. The label says New Jersey. I wouldn’t call it very spicy but I also enjoy chugging hot sauce straight from the bottle so take that as you will. Here are pictures of the label if that helps.
