  • Seems like a lot of math they could argue.

    Fine them daily gross income for each identified product for each day since the last inspection with no findings.

    Make them beg for more frequent inspections.

  • I choose to believe that that is not a list of three similar things, but a list of different ways to be remembered.

    Do you want to be remembered as dilettante competing in a crowded field who managed to have the right combination of skill and luck?

    Do you want to be remembered as the one collosal idiot with a cult of personality, who claimed to work for humanity but only ever dipped us into a kessler syndrome and helped set the conditions for the Bell Riots?

    Do you want to be remwmbered as the inventor of a revolutionary technology in desperate times that single-handedly averted the doomed fate of humanity?

  • Given the existance of The Big Mac Index, which seeks to compare global currencies and their respective buying power, this is actually fascinating.

  • The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a specific fraction of a second. It may have been initially defined by a rough estimate but it (and all metric measurements) are now fixed to universal constants.

    Also the foot is currently defined exclusively as 0.3048 meters, so you are already using metric.

  • The standard way to streak a plate involves creating a resevoir of the sample you are studying, then using a sterile tool to streak through that at a steep angle. Then you streak through the first streak with another sterile tool, and so on and so forth.

    As you streak through lines, the amount of bacteria pulled along is reduced until you are able to isolate individual colonies.

  • "Ahh yes, this will hide the cigarette stains."

  • True. You can shoot lasers and such through a lot of things, but I am trying to describe a phenomenon in relatively simple language without getting too bogged down in the technical details. The question was about flowing liquids, so I assumed it was understood that that was what I was talking about.

  • Sound is transferred through a medium literally as a wave. When you get right down to the core of it, the wave requires movement within the medium to transmit.

    So it might help to conceptualize it not as "Liquid cannot move faster than the speed of sound in it's medium" but more like "The speed of sound in a liquid medium is defined by the speed at which energy can propagate in that system, which includes motion."

  • I think the main contention with pineapple on pizza is that pizza is often a shared meal. Burgers wouldn't be an issue there.

  • My problem is I LOVE cars. I didn’t realize this was c/fuckcars when I posted. Woops.

    Honestly, you are still in the right community.

    Making sure that there are plenty of public transit options, and making it so that a car is not the only possible form of transportation helps get people who don't want to be a part of traffic out of traffic.

    People who love to drive should really be the ones most loudly pushing for the end of car-dependency.

  • In Japan they have rail lines that seamlessly integrate with the metro system of large cities.

    And even if cars for rural users is necessary, their driving experience will be much smoother if all the other people have good access to transit.

  • It should also be noted that you are not required to swear on the internet.

  • They try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it's literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not.

    It's a dumb system.

  • The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best is now.

  • I read explodicle's comment as a reply to DeSantis who said "She has no role in this" in his rant.

  • I imagine if my occupation includes carrying a gun, interacting with citizens, and a historically high rate of extrajudicial deaths amongst people I am supposed to be protecting. A publicly accessible camera would be beneficial to easing the minds of those I interact with and providing evidence for any actual instances where I felt my life was threatened.
