- Comment on Florida ounces 1 week ago:
As always, just a great unit of measure.
- Is called “fluid weight”, but is actually a unit of volume. All liquids have the same density right?
- An “imperial fl.oz.” is ~28.41mL
- A “US customary fl.oz.” is ~29.57mL
- A “US food labeling fl.oz.” is 30mL
Also found out that you have “liquid pints” and “dry pints” as well, for some reason.

People are downvoting because your solution to oppressing democracy is doubling down on it.
And your take is that “libs love playing by the rules” when someone says that this rule should be abolished? Lol

- Comment on KY man wakes during organ harvesting procedure, prompting federal investigation 2 weeks ago:
Jesus Christ. He was showing “too many signs of life” to continue the surgery? Isn’t any sign too much? He was apparently trashing and they still wanted to go forward?
And how was he declared brain dead if he clearly wasn’t? I guess since he OD’d he’s just a junkie who doesn’t deserve to keep his own organs?
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 2 weeks ago:

Jumping spiders are so cool. You can probably readily find them if you know where to look, and some will jump on your finger if you just stick it out in front of them. They’re super curious and smart, and their vision system is mindblowing (Veritasium video about it, highly recommended!) - and so cute when they swivel around to look at you in the face!

- Comment on Just.....why? 5 weeks ago:
The amount of information that can be inferred, especially when coupled with more data from other “brokers”, is crazy. You might be flagged as a depressed person if you skip brushing some/most days. The time you wake up and go to work might be an indication of your social status, together with how often you replace the head.
