  • We could have had it as early as 1793, but the ship carrying the metric standards was attacked by pirates.

  • Okay so this reminds me of something that happened in a college chemistry class and I was wondering if someone here can offer an explanation.

    We were doing an experiment that first involved dissolving some copper into a solution, then chilling it to add another ingredient, then heating it on a hot plate. After doing all the other steps, I placed my beaker on the hot plate and turned around, then I heard a hissing sound. I turned back around just in time to see my beaker flying off the hot plate, off the counter, and smash on the floor.

    My best explanation for this is that since the hot plate was already hot, some condensation from the previous chill step had dripped down, flashed to steam, and propelled the beaker off the hot plate.

  • Linux. I don’t want “using the computer” to turn into a hobby that I need a computer science degree for.

  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Earth-based telescope would be able to see anything we left at the landing sites.

  • I’ve been enjoying bookbinding. You can get started just with some paper, glue, craft knife, and a ruler. Add some needle and thread, cover board, and bookcloth and you can make some nice custom pieces.

  • And yet there can never, and will never, be a situation where an infinite number of people are tied to a railroad track. So this thought experiment is meaningless.

  • Okay, so what’s the point of “proving” that there some “infinities” are “bigger” than others? What’s the practical application here? Because an infinite hotel with an infinite number of guests is physically impossible, so I don’t see the point.

  • Maybe I’m biased, but the late 90s were just about perfect for cars. If you could get your hands on something like a Ranger or S10, it would be extremely practical. Automatic transmission, air conditioning, great fuel economy, and extremely easy to maintain and repair. And if it’s made after ‘96, it would have a OBD2 port that any modern scanner could read codes from.

  • The pace at my job is so damn slow, I only do about four hours of actual work in a 40-hour week. Most of my time is spent waiting for my boomer coworkers to do their jobs, I finish my work blazingly fast by comparison. I could ask for extra work to do, but nah. I keep getting good performance reviews and raises, and this is the most stress-free job I’ve ever had.

  • I feel the same way about Nude Descending a Staircase. Normally cubism or turn of the century modern art doesn’t do it for me, but for some reason I can just…stare at that painting. It’s oddly fascinating in a way I can’t fully describe. I want to get a print of it for my house.

    Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer?
