That was wonderful! The world has seemed so hopeless these past many months. If nothing else, cricket flour would have sent everyone over the edge screaming (except maybe Gates - he probably likes that crap). I knew they wanted to decimate our numbers but for all the thought they put into it, they screwed some things up enormously. So ho…

I knew they wanted to decimate our numbers but for all the thought they put into it, they screwed some things up enormously. So how do we get people to leave off with the EVs now? My niece totaled hers a couple of days ago, and without insurance, so it is now just green... garbage. Bwahahahahaha!
Makes the point that, because our understanding of the natural world will always necessarily be incomplete, any attempt to replace something in the natural world with human artifice is doomed to failure. Instead, the proper role of technology is to extend existing capabilities (eg visible band telescopes) or add previously unavailable capabilities (eg radio telescopes).
What really drives metric is its utility with logarithms, which are indispensable in the hard and applied sciences. Imperial is all very well and good in the gym or the house building trade, but it's unwieldy for precision manufacturing once you get the chip fab scale.

With that argument, base 60 is clearly superior.
