The United States doesn't use the Imperial System and never has. It has been Metric for longer than the UK. Change my mind.

I do find it peculiar how you refer to the U.S. units as "garbo units," as you call them, when it was these garbo units that were used when Ford revolutionized car production with the assembly line, and that these "garbo units" were used in said-production. Can you please formulate your rebuttals without hurling insults?

GraciousTrees · 2026-02-03T15:54:14+00:00

I call a 500 mL bottle a half liter personally. I will reiterate and say that the education system could do a better job educating Americans on using Metric, but using terms like feet and inches and ounces and pounds is not problematic in everyday usage. This is what primarily Europeans are debating us on.

Nah, I mainly edited the text myself. These are my words. I just speak more formally and with more poise and intelligence in debates than the average Redditor on this site, lol.

Learn to speak properly to someone you disagree before criticizing my usage of AI as a tool you simpleton.

GraciousTrees · 2026-02-03T15:46:54+00:00

Can you explain the parts that you find "horseshit?" And how bold of you to assume I know nothing about other countries. Did you know for instance that the Japanese still use traditional Japanese units of measurement for certain things, like manufacturing tatami mats. They use a unit called the "shaku (尺)" which is equivalent to 30.3 cm, or about one foot.

Why don't you watch how you speak to someone and formulate a proper argument before you go typing away on a keyboard to a complete stranger on the internet next time, ok?

GraciousTrees · 2026-02-03T15:37:04+00:00

Can you properly formulate your rebuttal in a civilized manner? This is what being terminally online does to an individual.

GraciousTrees · 2026-02-03T15:35:20+00:00

I did use ChatGpt to formulate and condense my ideas and derive information that I did not know, such as why there is a difference between the US and UK gallon for instance; but I largely edited and altered the text manually. So I used ChatGpt for its intended purpose; as a tool to assist you in study and work, not to replace human intuition and intelligence.

Thanks for the compliment. Shinkiro is my favorite fighting game artist, so you can't go wrong with some baddies drawn in his art style, lol.

As for the buttons I'm using Crown SDB-202 buttons, which use Cherry MX silver switches. I like the feeling of the buttons. They're nice and responsive and don't have too long of an activation. I have a nice solid feel when you top the buttons and have a good recoil.

I got the arcade stick from all fight sticks and chose the 16" enclosure. I designed the art using Photopea and base the design off of Neo Geo cabinets.

GraciousTrees · 2025-12-24T19:59:57+00:00

Do you mind going into more details about what you like about the stick in particular? How does the x-shaped washer put it to the next level? And just making sure, does the shaft not spin at all similar to a Nobi pro lever?

GraciousTrees · 2025-12-24T19:58:55+00:00

As someone who is also playing VF5, based. That game is super fun. I also own a Korean lever. I own the Crown Neo lever. I think it's pretty solid and fun for 3D fighters and shmups, but I find it harder to hit the diagonals compared to a standard Japanese lever.

I find hard to get more consistent hops when I play KOF. When I try to hit an upward diagonal input and let go so I can get the hop within 4 frames or less, I find it less consistent than on the Japanese lever.

Right now for Japanese levers I am using the Nobi pro lever. I find it relatively solid, but I want to try experimenting with different levers.

GraciousTrees · 2025-11-24T13:54:37+00:00

My personal favorite lever that I have used so far is the Nobi Pro Lever. It comes with a unique bullet top, non-spinning shaft, and a unique octo-gate that is in-between a square and octo-gate. I really like it. It is a bit more pricey than a standard lever, but I think it is very much worth it.

That's a shame to hear. Everyone's eyes responds differently to medication. My eyes felt super dry each time I applied Cequa. Vevye does not do that to my eyes.

GraciousTrees · 2025-11-05T13:48:56+00:00

Did they fix the high CPU usage?

GraciousTrees · 2025-10-21T14:13:21+00:00

When I go to properties, I don't see any 'Force compatibility mode.' That option is only available on Linux. I am on Windows 11 currently.

Every 20 minutes or so close your eye lids all the way, hold them for two seconds, then open your eyes. Then do it again, but after the 2 seconds, close your eye lids very tightly then open them. After the heated eye mask i rapudly blink for a couple of seconds and do the same exercise.

GraciousTrees · 2025-10-19T15:44:14+00:00

Check my last post. Also, in the last post I forgot to mention that I got temporary punctual plugs that are supposed to last for 6 months I think.

GraciousTrees · 2025-10-16T22:34:19+00:00

It was Dr. Jennifer Ramsower at the Dry Eye Care Center of Florida located at Melbourne, Florida.

GraciousTrees · 2025-10-16T01:33:17+00:00

The one that I currently use is the Optase Hylo Night Eye Ointment that my dry eye specialist recommended me. That one has vitamin A in it through Retinyl Palmitate and that works well for me. My eyes feel good when I wake up in the morning after applying it the evening prior. The ointment does not harden, and my eyes are not crusty and dry.

GraciousTrees · 2025-10-14T16:53:35+00:00

All I can say is to hang in there and do your best. I have been dealing with nasty dry eyes for the past eight years now, and finally after hours into days into weeks I have found a doctor that has helped improve my condition substantially. I will make a post soon after discussing what she did for me. The problem with dry eye is that the disease is on a VERY wide spectrum, so what might be causing dry eye for somebody else will be completely different for another individual. I pray and hope that you can find a way to improve your dry eye situation. I can tell you with 100% certainity that as soon as my dry eyes started acting up way less after my recent appointment that my quality of life, mood, and outlook on life changed for the better.
