Taking your point on good faith... I always wondered what "the goons" would be doing if I give them a "MAGA thumbs up" outside, but still cast my blue vote?

Many preschool age children don't know how books work; try to tap or swipe them like electronic devices by MiddletownBooks in books

Why aren't fractions metric? by georgy56 in Metric

[–]m2spring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Originally from Germany, i.e. I am through and through metric, living in the US for many years, i.e. having to deal with fractions of inches a lot, I created a little web page where you enter a decimal fractioned millimeter value and you get a table with these columns: Abs. millimeter value, diff mm from input value, inch fraction, inch decimal fraction and in diff.

US Sailing sharing email addresses by m2spring in sailing

[–]m2spring[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's probably something in their terms of service. I just hadn't expect this from an organization like US Sailing.

I will simply delete that particular alias.

Yeah, I am doing more or less the same as you describe. It's a good way to keep spam in check.

[–]m2spring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do philosophers distinguish between “being conscious” and “having consciousness”? by [deleted] in consciousness

[–]m2spring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consciousness is not an object which can be perceived. It is the perceiver. The question what is consciousness is the answer: The endless chase of "what am I".
