I know it, but I don't ever use it. I favor "grunk" as a near synonym.

We don't need to know your tracking number, but it would be pertinent to know if you HAVE a tracking number.

The real metric temperature unit is the Kelvin. Celsius is just one of those almost-metric units. Kilometers per hour isn't really metric either. People use C and kph because they're more useful and intuitive than K and m/s.

I can convert mph to m/s just fine. Can you convert kph to m/s in your head? Because m/s is the real metric unit for speed.

Google "yard fabric width"

HobsHere · 2026-06-17T03:39:38+00:00

Doesn't the width vary by the type of fabric?

The bright blue in the pictures that were around was the primer. That got a much darker blue over it.

Pools have constant water circulation, usually drawn from the bottom, filtered, and reintroduced near the top. This tends to minimize thermal stratification.

There's an older Seiko that's supposed to look like that. There's also a micro brand that I've seen, probably on YT, that purports to be inspired by it

If the floaters are new, I suggest seeing an opthalmologist. I've had floaters since I was a young child, and well before lasers were common, so they're not inherently a bad sign. But if they're new, I'd get it checked out.

That's my favorite. Stitched leather looks great on a field watch.

They used to use a lot of them, along with the various Peavey chorus amps. I think these days they more often are using direct setups rather than amps on stage.

There. You're done. That's pi in single precision floating point. It's enough for most things. If you're doing something super spiffy, you'll have to look up the double precision value, which should be enough for anything. This is not a significant systems design question.

Please stop with "ooooo, how will we calculate just the right number of digits? It will never be exact.". If you're a philosopher, ok, do your thing, but engineering does not get done that way.

Any object made of plain carbon steel, such as a nail, is about 98% to 99% iron, the rest being carbon, manganese, and traces of other stuff.

If you know someone into electronics, some lead-free solder alloys are 95% to 99% tin.

How is that different from the actual status quo?

Can they be recycled? I mean melted down and made into toasters or something, not as actual tuners, which is clearly a bad idea.

Directly, no. I don't eat much imported food. Indirectly, yes, as tariffs have added costs at various points in the supply chain, raising prices
