And basically every test I’ve ever seen. If you don’t have tools or some reference point, people will nine times out of 10 be able to more accurately gauge something using imperial measurements then using metric measurements.
That’s clearly utter bollocks
We use decimetres in chemistry a fair bit. 1 mole of any gas will occupy 24 dm³ at rtp

Veeery nice. Bravo.
There’s no vertical axis in chess.
Only a few countries have grown entirely based on immigration, Australia, New Zealand, and America among them.
I know what you mean by this, but just a fun fact I want to crowbar in:
Humans settled in Australia around 50-60,000 years ago, North America around 20,000 years ago, but when the East-Polynesians (who would become the Māori) settled in New Zealand, Oxford University was already 200 years old.

This is such a pointless thing to take umbrage with. Looking at the table showing the levels and picking one of the highest ones from a brand I’ve heard of: Colgate Total Whitening comes in at 539 ppb of lead. We’ll call that 0.539 ppm to make the maths slightly easier, because that’s equivalent to μg/g.
Let’s say you really load up your toothbrush and use 2ml instead of a pea-sized blob, and assuming a specific gravity of 1.30, that’s 2.6g of toothpaste, of which 0.539 μg/g is lead. So you would ingest 2.6g × 0.539μg/g = 1.3936μg of lead if you swallowed all of that toothpaste every time you brushed your teeth.
Apparently young children swallow 0.053-0.3g of toothpaste, so let’s go roughly in the middle and say you swallow 0.18g, so 0.18 × 0.539 = 0.097μg of lead. Call that 0.1μg and you brush twice a day, so 0.2μg of lead per day from brushing your teeth. If you use a pea-sized amount, then halve that to 0.1μg.
The EPA’s maximum allowable limit of lead in drinking water is 15ppb, but is lowering to 10ppb (ppb = μg/litre) in 2027. So let’s say you live somewhere well below that limit and it’s 5ppb in your area. You’re supposed to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day, so at 5μg/litre that’s 7.5 to 10μg of lead per day from drinking water, or 75 to 100 times more than the amount from brushing your teeth.
The caption in Morning Meeting says “All over sudden”. That’s… new.
Holy fuck. I’d totally forgotten about those. They would stain the plaque on your teeth so you knew where to brush.
its about sending a message and terrorizing people
If only there was some snappy term for that 🤔
How do we make non-religious churches for decent people? Can we start that movement and move up from there?
That’s already a thing.
My word, I haven’t seen Chris (Simpsons artist) in yeeeears. Some good stuff back in the day.
