You do you boo but Metrics fucking awesome. It’s simple, conversions are super easy, etc. it’s just basic numbers. You can thoughtlessly multiply or divide (assuming you could thoughtlessly do that before).
You want a real shite headache? Try translating tenths of inches. I’d just burn the blueprints and tell them to try again.
Except that’s not what’s written.
It’s 0.25/0.5
Raising it exponentially would be
2.5/5, or
25/50=50
1/2≠50. Does not compute.
There’s absolutely noncompetes baked into that sale. Noncompetes might not be legal, or applicable, torards employees anymore, but they sure as shit are still legal and binding as a condition for a business’s sale.
My older liberal banker brother asked me, small business owning tradesman, why I don’t just go start some small community in Montana and live without the dollar, yada yada.
I laughed, he said he’s serious, I said “yea, the bankers that own the feds are serious too, and they use that to control what kind of society we decide for ourselves. We don’t have the freedom to choose. We have the freedom to choose but only from these two choices. We won’t even allow Cuba to do that shit, still today, 60years under embargo. And they’re their own country! The bankers would erase me in a heartbeat”.
Shit, I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing, imma set mine and my wives phones up now.
I’m flattered. Thank you.
I told my wife if we ever decided on kids (which we won’t) I want to name the kid after my hero. She asked “who’s that?”.
“Mega man”
“What if it’s a girl?”
“We can call her Meg”
"Middle name?”
“No middle name. MegaBlake, that’s it.”
I’m wearing a mega man belt she bought me right now actually.🤓
Every single comment here is describing symptoms but not the cause.
Enshitification is the evolution to the final form, only possible after the company, thru merger/acquisition or stock manipulation (leveraged buy outs, acquiring controlling stake, shorting a company into insolvency, etc), has achieved a commanding monopoly.
Then it flexes it’s monopoly powers, the buttons fly off its shirt and the monster shows it’s true colors.
We have laws to prevent this. Lina Khan is the first FTC chair to start holding these companies to meaningful account in my lifetime (yea, Microsoft/netscape is exponentially smaller than todays issues). Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon all need to be broken up into a thousand different companies, same as we did with AT&T. Uber, Angieslist, homeaglow, all the contractors pretending they’re just networking hubs (like some union hall) need to busted up and gigwork made to contend with employment law, which it can’t, because it’s all bad faith exploitation.
And for fucks sake we need to make the fine for white collar crime that extends state lines to necessitate the forfeiture of the entire C-suite’s and board of directors assets, both domestically and internationally, upon threat of seal team 6. Empty their bank accounts and leave them with nothing, like they regularly do to employees. They’re so fucking smart they can earn it all again, right? Right!? Corporations are the largest thief in the land, just in WAGE THEFT. Everything else they do that’s slimy is all BONUS. The 2nd largest thief in all the land? the fucking Police force. The lunatics have taken over the asylum, democracy doesn’t work in mental institutions. We don’t need to defund the police, we need to fire all of them and start over with transparency. If casino employees can be video taped all day, so can cops. Fuck em.
What America truly needs is another Teddy Roosevelt. We need to revive the Progressive party with the Bull Moose as the symbol. Protect the environment, protect the family by protecting the workers, end legal loopholes and trustbust the 1% back down into the 10%.
And if we don’t? The path ahead is obvious, I for one, don’t want to live in Blade Runner, but that’s where we’re going until we stop fucking around and right ship.
I mean, I halfway agree with you. The World Economic Forum meets up annually. It’s a real sanitized name for entrenched wealth, sounds super official, like a neighborhood bus line that fancies itself the “generic county transit authority”. I too can call myself an authority on something but that doesn’t make it so. Lol.
No one attending was voted into power, all but a handful were born into it. There doesn’t need to be any one person in charge when all their motivations already align. Humanity is not inherently hierarchle. So they shmooze, exchange tips, fuck each other wives while wearing masks to hide who they are (you really think Kubrick would’ve made Eyes Wide Shut if he didn’t know that that kind of shit happens irl. Theyl discuss strategies on how to fuck over everyone else on the planet so they’ll never have to sweat a drop from hard work unless they want to. They share Panama paper worthy plans and stories from their trips to whomever replaced Epstein. Cuz someone did. I trust the rich two things only, one is be callously, obscenely greedy as fuck and the other: the world’s largest collection of pedophiles and rapists. When you can buy anything, including people’s children’s innocence, with no consequences, what’s left to buy? Nothing. Nothing but
Power.
id totally give up a genies wish to make everyone attending their annual event, and their entire poison pill blood line, teleport to the bright side surface of mercury, immediately.
My 2nd wish would be to rapture every Christian to the heliopause.
Humanity would be so much better off, idk if I even need the 3rd wish then
I also only use Facebook thru Firefox. Marketplace to be exact, I lost interest on the social media side in 2016 and haven’t scrolled down once since then.
Reddit thru Firefox spits out different front pages if it detects mobile v desktop version. I rarely go there but I can not stand the mobile ad/smut push, like it’s way to obvious just BUY THIS and BOOBIES. Unusable imo. And I’m just talking about the mobile version of Firefox, I won’t use their app. Fuck reddit.
The only thing I stream are how-tos and educational vids off YouTube or Nebula.
The most classical entertaining thing I follow is probably 12tone.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ no time for fiction I guess.
The only one of these I recognize is Westworld. I cut the cord after the first season and never looked back.
The most common place to find .1" is on micrometers. And that’s just fine until you need to switch it back to imperial or metric for the next processing…which the rest of your tooling is in.
.1" is roughly 2.54mm
.1", fractionally is ~7/64
7/64 is roughly 2.77mm
See how this is recipe for disaster?
