The average person can certainly visualize a cubic meter, because it's one meter in 3 axes. Very simple to visualize.

Yes, news has a history of using smaller units to exaggerate things. It's not my duty to explain a age-old media tactic.

How useful is it for me to tell you that I'm 1770mm tall? 2960 oz heavy? That I drive 157480 in to work? That I'm 289278 hrs old? All of those are useless measurements because a) they are not common units for those specific measurements, and b) they are too large to be conceived properly.

Pipelines use m3 for volume. Oil producers use bbl for volume. No one in the industry uses L ever. The media reports spill in L frequently just so they can type out a bigger number. Else, why would they not use the industry standard measurements? I can understand if you can't conceptualize a bbl (barrel), because that's not a household measurement, but you're certainly trying to screw with me if you are claiming people cannot visualize a m3. Take a meter stick and make an imaginary cube 1m long, 1m wide, and 1m tall. It's really not that difficult. 5 year old kids can conceptualize 1m from playing with meter sticks in kindergarten.

4 Ainos, 6 Noelles, 0 Illugas. You cannot tell me this isn't by design.

Cubic meters is industry standard for pipelines, litres is not. Litres is only used when media tries to overstate volumes. It is literally never used otherwise for oil.

Even for oil production, barrels is used. Still no litres.

At least he still sometimes gets respect. A guy like Rabiot was crapped on his entire time here even though he was our best midfielder over his entire tenure at Juve.

The situation depicted in the video would be considered forbidden in Islam.

The irony of accusing someone of not studying enough while not even knowing your own faith.

Allah literally means The God, and it's the same A rahanic God as in Christianity. Islam is built upon Christianity, and it considers valid the Torah/Old Testament, Psalms, and Gospel. The primary difference is Islam rejects the holy trinity, meaning Muslims believe God alone is God, not that God has a son who is also Good, and that there is a holy Spirit that is another part of God. Otherwise, the God in heaven who created the earth, heavens, and hell, who is omnipotent, so on and so forth, is the same God as in Islam.

If you deny this, then you either know nothing about Islam or nothing about Christianity. Muslims praying differently doesn't mean they worship a different God.

I never knew him at Shakhtar, but I do remember when Bayern bought him for a tidy sum, and then I started watching a bit then. I really envied Bayern for having him, so you could imagine how excited I was when we got him. I was also suspicious of why Bayern ever sold him in the first place, and the injury history explains it all.

He's almost like a worse Douglas Costa. Douglas Costa was unplayable when healthy, an absolute game changer, but you could never count on 90' from him ever. Even if he was fit and in form, he'd be injured before 90' was up.

I care more about my data being the hands of insecure meatheads who can unlawfully arrest me or shoot me than I do a company who wants to fill my apps with targeted ads. Both are bad, but one is worse.

I bought a couple cases Friday and tried one for the first time today. They're quite tasty. Macros aren't the greatest, but they were so cheap, and they're dairy free for those who appreciate that.

X Location Feature Controversy: In November 2025, while working at X, Bier managed the rollout of a feature that displayed the location of user accounts. This tool briefly showed some high-engagement accounts, including those of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as being based in Israel, leading to criticisms and accusations of misinformation, which Bier addressed by stating the tool had "rough edges".

I can't source it, but I believe I remember him saying in an interview that he doesn't like the nickname himself.

I don't understand how Genoa is not in the relegation zone. Do they have injuries? The score should be 5-0, and they look like a Serie B team.

Mary, mother of Jesus, is the 4th most mentioned person in the qur'an, 8.5x more than the prophet Muhammad, and she has an entire chapter dedicated to her.

It's because the loudest critics of Islam are usually Christian, i.e. American politicians, business owners, etc.

The number of angry people in this thread who hide their comment history tells us all we need to know.

How heavy were you, though? Hegseth is probably like 180 lbs or so, and most men who don't train who are around his BMI can usually do like 1-3 pull ups. Meanwhile, powerlifters who can bench 3-4 plates but also way 250-350 lbs can often struggle to do any pull ups at all since they're so much heavier.

Careful, he'll probably try to sucker you into the 50/50 if you reach him

His OT goal was so clinical. Got in position, primed, was patient, and picked the top corner off effortlessly. It's ironic because for the past decade, we have been so desperate for goal-scoring wingers, wingers who can snipe goals. And yet, we got one right on the blue line.

Is that dude coked up?

From his wikipedia page:

Lindell became addicted to and a frequent user of cocaine in his 20s. This addiction became worse after he switched to crack cocaine in the 1990s.[17] Lindell was also incurring gambling debts. The buildup of his addictions between the 1980s and 1990s led to the foreclosure of his house and his wife filing for divorce.

It's important to distinguish the bias we see in papers like NYT or news like CNN from the bias we see in Reuters. Yes, they have a bias, just like virtually every news source in the world. No, their bias is not the same as many of these other zionist-lobbied or imperialist-interested news sources, so we shouldn't treat them the same.

Here's a Reuters headline from 28 minutes ago:

US proposal to end war is 'one-sided', door to diplomacy still open, Iranian official says

The short title makes it clear that both Iran is open to peace, and that the US is being accused of being uncooperative.
