7+6

You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.

I’d split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head

Same thing as 7+3+3

One million seconds is 11.6 days

One billion seconds is 31.7 years

I always found it interesting that Rolls-Royce had to let vibrations and noise in the back of their cars. Moving in a car without identifiers really trips with the brain.

That’s why I use tungsten. The superior metal

Dead fish 🐟

But if every person thought like that, we’d get a 3rd party candidate elected

If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It’s blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn’t want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that’s only 20 people per state.

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn’t say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

“Summer time” is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I’d rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it’s dark at 5 pm.

I remembered it wrong. He wasn’t doing laundry. He was pouring concrete into the guy’s washing machine.

No idea what that guy did to deserve a messed up washing machine.

“You ever use the gentle cycle?” Absolutely hilarious /s

You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don’t care that they are an asshole to a character you don’t like.

Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can’t figure out a washing machine! Lol he’s going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he’s drunk because he’s that stupid! He’s so funny!

Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole

There are the “I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket”. They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.

If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.

68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.

Older people keep their houses at 78°+

100°F doesn’t mean “not fit for human habitation”

Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That’s why 100°F is important.

50°F is the point where you need clothes to survive. If you sat naked in a 50°F room you run the risk of your body not being able to generate enough heat and you’ll slowly die.

~75°F is room temperature. It’s in the middle on the warm side.

70°F is a cool room, 80°F is a warm room.

Whenever I think of Celsius I see it as 0° to 40° with 20° being room temperature. I hear 30°C and think halfway between 70 and 100 so I know it’s around 85°F and I know how 85°F feels.

But like 35°C. That’s 3/4 of the way from 20°C to 40°F. 100°F-70°F is 30°. 3/4 of 30 is 22.5. So 35° must be close to 70°+22.5° or ~93°F. I know how 93°F feels.

I can see how celcius is easier if you learned it as a child. 35°C would just be 35°C. But trying to quickly wrap your head around it is difficult unless you just know it. I’m sure if I said 93°F you could tell me that that is pretty hot.

You never deal with 0°C/32°F or 100°C/212°F unless you’re in a science lab.

They are nice numbers in celcius, but for real-world applications, it’s almost meaningless.

When I boil water on the stove, I don’t check if it hits 100°C. When I freeze water in the freezer, I don’t check if it hits 0°C.

Everyone can get by without knowing the exact degrees.

This is pure water at standard pressure. Higher or lower altitudes will change it, and if your water has minerals or impurities in it, it will also change it. It’s pretty arbitrary.

Water on roads can freeze before it hits 0°C outside. It can even snow above 0°C.

Fahrenheit is a very simple scale other than those two things. <0° extremely cold, >100° extremely hot for air temperature. Freezers are 0°F and Saunas are 200°F. Hot tubs are 100°F. You bake cookies at 325° to 375°, pizza is cooked at 600° to 800°F. You’ll find a lot of 25° increments in cooking.

Fahrenheit isn’t really a part of the US customary units.

Knowing both Fahrenheit and Celsius, I do think Fahrenheit is simpler for real-world applications. For science they are just numbers on a scale. Converting is the only real problem.

1 centiyard is about equal to 1 centimeter

1 miliyard is 3 milifeet

1 kiloyard is 3 kilofeet

It would be the same as the metic system having something like a “hand”

That if you wanted to express 1/3 of a meter you could just call it 1 hand. 2/3 meter would be 2 hands.

If you were using this metric system and knew that something had to be two hands long. You’d simply call it 2 hands instead of .66 meters or 66 centimeters.

If something had to be 2.5 hands long it would be .825 meters or 82.5 centimeters

Meter and yard are both random established lengths. Using miliyards or millimeters is exactly the same.

US customary units just have smaller unit names you can call them if it is convenient. If you never wanted to use anything but yards like the metric system does meters, it’s possible. Don’t want to use miles? Then megayards.

I do think 1 simple system that everyone uses is needed and the metric system is simple.

But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.

Not everyone wants to binge a show from start to finish

For example, I really enjoyed the episodes of the office that I have watched. It was many years ago and it was only random episodes I caught while airing on TV.

Went to Netflix to watch at started on episode 1. From what I hear season 1 isn’t the greatest. I got through a couple episodes and then thought to myself, this is going to take so many nights of watching to watch them all in order. Never watched another again.

Now if I could turn on the television and say S6EP7 was playing I’d probably enjoy watching it. Might even watch the next episode too.

With classic TV you also get the feeling that you’re watching the show with others.

Channel 1 is having a Harry Potter bingeathon. I catch it on episode 3 and continue to watch it. I’ve seen them all multiple times so I don’t really care where I start. But it’s nice knowing others are having a HP bingeathon with me on a Saturday afternoon. If I was sitting there with my plex server, I could play any HP. But I’m never going to put it on and if I did it would just be me watching the show.
