Sense of scale

As an Australian, here’s the real war.

And the surveillance station in the middle of Australia (pine gap)

And there’s quite a few missing!

I made one recently that was pretty nice - tomato base, sliced (cooked) pork chipolatas, pineapple and cheese. Plenty of oregano and basil.

How many halves fit into a quarter? Half of them

Core rope memory?

Memory density is about 2.5MB per cubic metre, might need to buy a warehouse to store it.

If I have champagne do I need to lick rocks exclusively from the Champagne region of France?

Or when the same thing happened with Paul McCartney collaborating with Rhianna on ‘FourFive seconds’ - apparently Paul was a new up and comer!

That’s ‘dressed all round’ what I’m assuming is finished milled. I’m a very amateur diyer - I’d imagine that if you went to a timber yard here they’d probably have a good idea what you were after. Just read online that most bulk wood is bought by the cubic metre, but all dimensioned wood is by the linear metre.

what’s the metric equivalent of ordering “four-quarter” boards?

We have a lot of standard sizes that seem to be based on imperial - 12mm (1/2inch), 16mm (5/8inch), 19mm (3/4inch), 32mm (5/4inch) etc.

If you’re actually interested in taking a look, here’s a link to the dressed timber section of Australia’s hardware capital - Bunnings.

I’d argue that’s just because you’re more familiar with Fahrenheit (making the assumption you grew up with it).

Celsius is just as ‘good’ as anything, better if you consider that measuring temperature extends beyond human comfort ranges.

Typo in article:

If you are however willing to except the possibility that you are wrong.

Except should be ‘accept’.

Not trying to be annoying, but I know people will often find that as a reason to disregard academic arguments.

The Hunt for Red October

It wasn’t so much to not steal the interface, it was to not steal the whole unit from the car.

If the front was left attached, a thief would break in and steal the whole radio.

With the front off, it’s basically useless to steal the in car part.

I always thought it was a bit harder in Australia, given that the language changes so much across such small distances.
