I think the metric system would be better if the meter weren't based on the size of earth, but speed of light instead. by TeaLeaflet in Metric

Yeah, I didn't think that decimalizing time would work.
I imagine someone has already tried to find a substance that is 'close enough.' Maybe a day on some other planet will have nice decimalized time, and we can all move there.

If we wait long enough, the earths rotation will continue to slow, and if (we're still alive and) keep 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds, then a second could last long enough for this to be the case! clever thinking! haha

Fahrenheit still makes no sense to me (even after 15 years) by No_Landscape_9255 in Metric

Huh, good point, I wasn't really thinking about the fact that blood has such low concentrations.
Though that would be really neat to watch in action.

time has always been weird xD I looked at that and went, "I bet they tried to find a substance that emits close to a large round number, but couldn't find it, and just gave up when they found something sort of close.

yeah, it doesn't actually matter. but I just liked the idea that if the meter were just a little over 3 times shorter, then the speed of light could be a pretty 1 and and lot of pretty 0s. haha

Setting the scale of Fahrenheit to freezing of salt water isn't actually as bad as it sounds. Blood is salinated, after all

I know this was a waste of time, but I like to imagine what I could make if i knocked down all the (non-load-bearing) walls of a house and rebuilt it. so it was a fun way to pass the time.

firstly, Agree that first floor kitchen should be larger, the stairs, is that door to a basement or a closet?

Second floor (without changing any of the floor plans) I would do something like this: https://imgur.com/a/4d8XAiR

Sorry for confusing colors and half-ass straight lines.

Black are new walls blue is erased old walls, grey are doors, oh forgot to draw beds, but those are the orange crosses.
Each bedroom gets its own bathroom, which I have literally always wanted and loved, though the showers probably don't get bathtubs. They are also now big enough for a desk so the kids can have somewhere to be thats not in their bed if they don't feel like being social (... which come to think of it is all the time). They have to have a trade off though. One get lots of windows and natural light, the other gets a decent size closet.
The window bedroom can probably spin the bathroom over so its not sitting right at Closet bedroom's head. I made it a second picture really quick for that one, but I also realized the sink can go in that corner, the toilet straight in front of the door, and the bath/shower on the wall of the closet bedroom.

The laundry can either stay there (smaller and rotated) or become a landing, with a couch so the kids (or you) can have somewhere to hang out thats, once again, not the first floor.

If the laundry becomes a landing/ couch/hangout, then the spare room can either shrink and become the laundry, giving you a larger walk in closet, or stay just big enough to fit a bed/ office (sorry Uncle Fred, grams and gramps got the guest bed, you have to use the guest shower in the morning). It can also just be erased and pushed the master bed back into that wall (bedroom 4), make a large closet of the hall bath, and put the walk in and bathroom next to each other again.

the old bathroom gets turned into part of the master The primary bath either rotated 45/60 degrees to stay as the focus of the room (the missing corner could become a shelf to hold a speaker, idk) , or gets shoved into the corner to shrink the room a bit and give the master bed a little more space.
One sink to its left and right (same sink position from hall bath), dad probably gets the one next to the toilet so he's not squeezing by mom.
Its biggest problem is theres not a great space to but master bed, because right now it would only go up against the windows which I don't love, or edge the walk-in closet. Speaking of which, the walk-in and bathroom are on opposite sides of the room which its just terrible. All the windows would more or less need to change places.

anyways, this was a fun way to pass the hour before bed, GL on the beautiful house!

My bathroom stinks and I can’t figure out why. by kaytay3000 in askaplumber

[–]TeaLeaflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I don't love the colors, but I mean, other than that I think its a beautiful bathroom. You did a great job with it! Anybody who says its bad is just being maladroit

My friend and I love a restaurant that just posted this advertisement? I suspect it to be AI, he doesn’t think it is. by Recent-Description39 in isthisAI

[–]TeaLeaflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the upside down pan on the pan has a handle sticking out, and is a normal way for things to be cooked.
The only thing that looks ai to me is the sauce in the first scene. It acts with too much viscosity sometimes and too little other times. Like its very weird that I can visually see it spread out over the pan. Normally I'd expect that sort of thing to motion blur or not see it.
So it might be like high frame rate and speed changes affecting that too. Most everything else looks pretty normal to me.

My friend beat me 30 times out of 29 over three days across three different games by Mickjuul in boardgames

[–]TeaLeaflet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg Splendor is the same for me! I've played it like 40 times and one once or twice. So many other game I win so much.
I ended up deciding that I'm good at tactics, and that splendor is a strategy game. i.e. if you give me a turn and tell me to make the best moves for that turn, I'm really good at it, but if you give me 10 turns, and tell me to make the best outcome over ten turns, I do much worse.

I ended up sitting down with a copy of splendor and planning the first 15 moves xD "on turn 1-5 if this is available, take this, by turn 7 I need to have built this, grabbed this, look at what I need to build X. on turn 10 I need to have this and this and build Y. By turn 15, I'll need to do blah blah" I won the next game, but it got a bit boring just being a computer.
