never knew what a stone was supposed to mean, other then a piece of rock. if i wanted to know the equivalent in anything i'd have to look it up.
the consistency of metric is attractive, its just not something familiar from everyday life in the u.s.
humans have ten fingers, but 16 would be more useful in binary electronics. and it would be handy to have another thumb that is on the opposite side of the palm. 6 fingers in between instead of four, and we'd be able to count in hexidecimal, and then a consistant system like metric, but on a base 16 instead of ten.
Thanks for letting me visit, alas it is time to wander on.
Hows everyone doing
I’m doing good I just reached the 10 billion
New cat adopted from local SPCA. Slight infection in the nose(cat-flu stuff?), but overall he's okay. He's all black. He's one of those ''extra coach-potato'' (personality-wise) kind of cat.
His name is apparently 'Wall-E', like in the movie.
Happy getting rid of Westminster rule day to the residents of the US....Still working on it where I live.
Its a struggle, I believe in you.
you mean the day wealthy landholders in the western hemisphere created their own government to pay taxes to instead of the one they split off from?
i'm a bit confussled by the term westminster day, so i'm guessing, the fourth jeweled lie is being referenced.
A bit of fun, what do you ppl call them -> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-53308981
Roly-poly
Never heard the other names.
Never heard them called that. For me it's a slater or, at a push, a woodlouce (of the super set beasties...which includes basically every wee thing with lots of legs).
looks a bit like what we called a pill bug if they roll up like that. can't really tell. not the same critter because a different part of the world but they look close to the same.

Woodlouce is what i was brought up with
The Discord link does not work anymore
Ok, now I definitely gotta try and be on here often, considering I forgot to put on vacation mode or anything, and after 21 days of being occupied with other things, my nation ceased to exist!
*and things quickly seeming like they’re only gonna get busier and busier for me, as compared to the relative calm it was until today
Lol I figured so haha
Yeah, about that, the lock down didn't give me as much time to do stuff here as I thought it would...basically been covering for allot of the time for people that didn't realise that when your in a small company something like this could kill it :-/ . I have been, effectively on call for the whole period and working for most of it (from home doing long hours (08:30-22:00 quiet often)) so am kinda a wreck.
But hell we seem to have weather that Charlie Foxtrot so far.
ps: on the up side we are picking up allot of interest from some of the big guys as we have managed to keep going without them seeing us fail..and the devs have been busy (for the most part) so we have been pulling crap together during the Sh*tstorm.
Note: Two of us managed to get everyone capable of remote working in 2 days (when it became apparent lock-down was coming...about a week before it did).
I became busy during quarantine because I'm transferring schools to finish my degree. Quarantine started slow and boring but it's become busy and eventful over time. I thought the escape room I manage had died but it ended up popping back up and we're open again.
Just a random thing, what do you make of face masks? Where I live "face coverings" (mouth and nose) are pretty much compulsory public transport and indoors (except where they clearly won't work (eating and drinking))
TBH it's really not a problem once you get the hang of them and most people are quite ok with them. I know views of vary, I know they don't do much to protect the wearer how ever do show signs of stopping a wearer from spreading bugs, I don't see the problem. Well other than making some people complacent.
I think people need to stop being babies and just wear them. Its to protect the people as a whole and there are no legitimate reasons not wear them. It's something that I take personally because my mom has stage 4 cancer and my dad has respiratory problems, so it annoys me that these adults are acting like children and acting like they've been stripped of their rights because of a piece of cloth being required on their face in public until things are under control. It's honestly ridiculous.
Masks are a non-issue in my opinion, and I think the US would have done well to mandate them on a federal level. I think the main reason people choose not to wear them is because they're a symbol of what they can't control; they have the option of going about their lives as if they weren't in the middle of a crisis, and having to wear a mask breaks the illusion.
Most anti-mask activists are self-aware enough not to admit that outright, and choose to rationalize it as government overreach.
No one wants to live through this nightmare.
These past six months have been the lowest and most desolate period of my life, but by doing nothing to alleviate it and pretending it'll go away on its own, we're only ensuring it'll be indefinite.
