Far be it from me to defend the imperial system- I love and daily work in metric, but you realize nearly all ancient measurement systems are created around commonplace physical measures (body parts, strides, etc.) and simple multiples thereof to make their use easy, yeah?

We’ve got a lot of tools at our disposal now to both standardize and make working with a decimal system a lot more doable than before.

The length really isn’t important, it’s about how you use it.

I just bought a machine with an NVIDIA card which I am going to install Mint on. Do you have any advice?

(I had planned to get an AMD GPU, but was unable to for various reasons.)

This may just be me, but I’ve read a handful of books by Iain M. Banks, and found them all to have uneven or odd pacing that can make it easy to get stuck. If you like the overall vibe it’s worth pushing through, and it’s not just you!

This is the way. It works great, I’ve been running it for years.

Before marriage? oh no you don’t!

I assume because it makes the coin flipping part more absurd.

This is a Photoshop of Norman Rockwell’s Triple Self Portrait, for those who think it’s neat.

The labeling on those axes is horrific. A human is apparently about 7 units of “Large” on the “Size” axis, and can piss around 110 units of “Jet” on the “Shape” axis.

What is 7 units of Large Size you wonder? Fuck you. What is 110 units of Jet Shape you ask? Hell if we know. You sure aren’t going to.

What are all the unlabeled dots? Who cares. Sample size? “I saw one do it.”

The UK, in my experience, does not do “screens”.

They also frequently do not do air-conditioning.

They seem to like to raw-dog the woes of summer.

If you go into the settings, you can choose to hide some types of quests. Turning off the ones about road surface material, for example, can reduce the repetition a lot.

Are you using something to automate that? If so what? Does it require root?

Thank you for sharing the worm.

What you don’t dare do

Why does a lich want universal healthcare?

Welcome to North Dakota friend. :(

Do the British heat their lower back with tea?

If you use OSMAnd, definitely look at importing addresses from this repo: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation

It substantially improves the issue I think you are describing by collating address data from OpenAddresses and making that available in the OSMAnd search.
