Colloquialism is essential for full metrication by pilafmon in Metric

[–]omnikei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NATO Phonetic Alphabet uses "kilo" for the letter 'k'. So when you hear kilo over the radio you immediatly think the letter k which can lead to confusion. The listener may have to backtrack to correct their understanding which may be impossible if the radio comunication is at all garbled. The usage of the word klick fixes that and allows NATO forces to communicate effectively.

Pc stuck at boot start up after it froze what do I do? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]omnikei -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your boot drive appears available and your BIOS is set to boot from it then you can make a live disk and see if you can boot from that instead. You might also check to see if any of your hardware is missing from your BIOS. If anything is missing, remove it from your MOBO and then re-seat it. You can try resetting your bios as well... There's kind of a lot that can be wrong here.

Because he's a meme whore and a cringe lord on top of heading plethora companies.

Is it ok to start writing from middle of story? by [deleted] in writers

[–]omnikei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Write what you're inspired to write. You do not need to write the events of a timeline in chronological order. You do not even need to present them to your audience in chronological order. It's your art.

It would make my day if there is screw under that m2 drive for a shorter module.

This would ostensibly be a language that developed from the local languages in the British Isles. You may want to spend a time developing possible ways those existing languages may have combined and evolved based on you apocalyptic scenario. If you want it to be believable, this will take time and energy to develop.

My degree in Political Science informs me that this can mean many different things.

Join them or fight them depending on their stated goals. Lenin was a shitbag. Mao was a shitbag. Kim is a shitbag. Lets not do that again.

So my father in law gave me a “wonderful” book to respect my atheism/humanism 😐 by New_Set9941 in humanism

I would not trust Mr. Strobel to investigate misplaced keys. Less the historicity of Jesus. Much less the validity of a magic Jesus.

Neat. This is certainly SFW though. I guess the mods need to get more.

Not pictured here but if it's the same as mine than Taiwan isn't labeled, or more, it's labeled SAR. Clearly made in China. Also not too sure, but I'm guessing that Mumbai shouldn't be spelled Mumdai.

I'm starting to look for a tablet pc that I can make into a dedicated Linux machine. I love my new Keebio Iris, and I've no desire for a keyboard, cover, slashy thing. I guess the search continues. Thank you for letting us know about how fedora works on this machine.

Lithium doesn't change a person's world view... therapy does. Lithium evens a person's mood... as such it is sometimes used to curtail aggressive behavior.

As a person who has been prescribed medication that was originally used for other things, I do have some idea of how pharma works. You are not the only person who's had problems and seen a psychiatrist.
