Well played

It’s much easier to hold your nose and vote for the (much!) less bad option than it is to decide to spend your time and effort working for their campaign.

The difference there was that it came up under the glacier Eyjafjallajökull and the magma meeting ice caused steam explosions throwing ash and other material high in the air.

and he’s going for speed

then stretch the shit out of them.

Just be careful. There is such a thing as over stretching. I fucked up my knees stretching after a hot yoga session and could barely walk for a couple of years.

Everything in moderation.

So Likud is soft on terror organisations? I guess, but they’re very selective in which ones.

No, it’s the Hindustan Times.

The one with Florida?

It sounds like someone needs to bring a similar suit in the EU and point to the GDPR. Where is the agreement to specific processing, the chance to opt out of the data collection, etc.

That is certainly one point and how we are, still Here after decades. Another point is that if you do that, you have become the bad guy.

Short form is used in English only and was reluctantly adopted outside of the US since the 'mericans weren’t going to budge. Any science done in other languages uses the more logical form. I’ve done it myself in 3 of them. And it’s weird how I fluently translate between American billion and international milliard or American trillion and international billion. But I’m sure there is going to be a rocket blown up over this at some point.

Why more logical? Billion, prefix bi for 2 is million squared. Trillion, prefix tri for 3 is million cubed. Septillion, prefix sep for 7 is? Honestly, though, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter that much. It’s just grating that were being yanked backwards. However slightly. And yes, that pun was intentional.

Sure, the US didn’t come up with the imperial measuring system but everyone else has moved on. Miles were used by the Romans but were they the same miles? Everyone had their own foot… the story about Napoleon being short was simply that he was measured in French feet and they were longer than English feet so he amounted to fewer of them. I guess it’s slightly better now that there is only one set* of archaic pre-enlightenment units in play :shrug:

*having said all that, some of the US measurements don’t quite coincide with the UK ones but I can’t remember any if those details. But it’ll probably kill a other rocket too.

PS I dare you to look up the Swedish mile.

Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.

Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.

Link to kagi? Or are you going to make us Google it?

I live in Italy and I still don’t know what you’re saying. Any chance you can get the proper spelling for your grandmother’s concoction? I’m genuinely interested.
