A happier ending for the rancor

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #3253 on:** 09 Dec 2014, 15:22 »

I would have never thought of a Rancor as 'cute' before..

I finally replaced the lightbulb in my bedroom after 2 months. My room looks weird when it's brightly lit.

The first quote is from the Starbucks tumblr

Quote

Quote
Los Angeles, New York City, Cardiff, Bangalore — At any Starbucks in any country in the world, real-life connection is happening not only across the table over coffee, but across the counter right when you walk in.

One time I walked into a starbucks bathroom and my Barista, Shane, was making a real-life connection with his mouth on the dick of some guy who worked at H&M.

Quick question

Anybody a member of, or know who runs this Group on FB

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204545712/

I've been waiting for a fair while for my Membership Request to be acknowledged, and I'm wondering whether to cancel my request or not.

cesium133 · « **Reply #3271 on:** 10 Dec 2014, 21:59 »

Considering the most recent post on there is from 2012, probably nobody is there to approve your request.

Kugai · « **Reply #3272 on:** 10 Dec 2014, 22:03 »

Really?

Dang! I hadn't noticed

Oh well, I'm like that sometimes Heh

It's also a great representation of how data arrives at places. With the Serial bus, you get a more or less consistent stream of 50 kids every minute. With the Parallel bus, you get all 7000 kids at a time, but after a while.

Which explains why most peripherals nowadays have moved into the USB connection paradigm. Nobody wants to suddenly deal with 7000 kids.

My 21 year old cousin got stopped while she was walking out of a chucky cheese as they thought she was like 12. She is really short. Like 4'6"

I still can't picture anything when told lengths in imperial units.

So that's basically the tee that one of the crews for my hometown's major holiday wore. Not 100% literally, but yeah. That.

About 137cm. A foot is a little over 30cm, closer to 30.5 but 30'll only put you a 2-3cm off if you just need a general idea.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #3285 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 18:01 »

Yeah but how many inches are in a foot? IT JUST MAKES NO FRIGGIN SENSE

SubaruStephen · « **Reply #3286 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 18:24 »

12 inches in a foot.

It's easy to remember, just count toes = 12 toes on your feet, 12 inches in a foot.

J · « **Reply #3287 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 18:27 »

12 inches in a foot.

the advantage of 12 is that you can easily divide it up into 2s, 3s, 4s, and 6s, which is handy for everyday usage. what's really fucked is the number of feet in a mile: 5280, which is 8 furlongs. a furlong is equivalent to 660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains, which nobody anywhere ever uses!

basing everything on 10 is good for doing hard math, but 10 can only divide cleanly into 2s and 5s.

what we really need to do is switch our entire global society over to a base-12 number system.

Dude. Imperial units have more usages. Like if you want a pint (the Imperial pint is 20oz, which is larger than the American pint, or the 0.5L glasses).

J · « **Reply #3293 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 19:51 »

also, i think we should abandon both Fahrenheit and Celsius as measurements of temperature, and switch to Kelvin.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #3294 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 20:01 »

Once you get a high enough temperature, the difference between Kelvin and Celsius is negligible. (K=C+273.15 IIRC)

There is absolutely zero interest in that happening.

explicit · « **Reply #3297 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 21:29 »

There will now be only three temperatures, cold, hot and okay I guess.

Loki · « **Reply #3298 on:** 11 Dec 2014, 23:52 »

That's hardly comprehensive.
I'd add "dead" for 0K.

hedgie · « **Reply #3299 on:** 12 Dec 2014, 02:30 »

Well, frozen or fried would have to replace "dead" in order to cover both ends. Even then, basing temperature based off of comfort makes it too subjective. What I find to be "comfortable" and "hot" are a bit lower than most people in this part of my state. I don't consider it "cold" unless something is frozen.
