Yeah - really confusing. I worked it out as (c.) 6 inches and then further confused myself as to why I was thinking inches from metres. Wild. Luckily I’ve lived with both metric and imperial and am apparently bilingual.

Exactly. He may well be rich relative to a poor person but in the scheme of overall wealth hoarding he’s not even a blip on the radar. The reason he got the sentence he got is nothing to do with his assets. It would be glib to suggest otherwise.
Huw Edwards may - or may not - be many things but rich is not one of them. He was a television news anchor on the BBC. A bang-average Premier League footballer could easily out earn him.
Smoking (anything) close to non-smokers is a person problem. Like folk who play their music audibly on transport. It’s selfish and anti social.
3/20th of a metre is a wild measurement to read.
Elon Musk is the joke. It’s just not funny.
Catholic Church enters the chat.
Yeah, sorry. I forgot the cows. His entire diet is: “beef, benzos and word salad.” I wish that, just for once, he’d drink a large glass of “shut-the-fuck-up” one day.
I think this dude is the guy I remember from Mastodon - I didn’t spend much time there. Pens some real bangers if so.
Back on the Benzos? Go tidy your room and have a shower; you’ll be fine.
(One quick websearch later) Ah, I see. Thanks - that makes a lot more sense to me now. Good luck.
I don’t care if this sentence has a typo - I like how it reads.
I’ve told you countless trillions of times to stop exaggerating.
In European history this happened on the ninth of November.
I’ve never heard of that bracelet (surprise surprise) - talk about a pipe dream. I just want to be able to view diagrams and plans on something bigger than a phone. Whilst on site and off grid. And yes, I know they’re available on paper but… reasons. We use tough-tablets sometimes but their pretty cumbersome when not in use.
More screen space in a smaller portable form is of tremendous use to some people - until projectors come of age at least.
I’m genuinely quite impressed with that whole idea… good on them. Thanks for letting me know.
Yeah - between you and me - the real reason is like the castles, fortresses, monasteries and cathedrals of the past a stadium is built as a statement building. Uniquely identifiable as the cultural home of that tribe. I don’t think there’s ever been a trainee architect who wants to design parking garages when they grow up. Some stadiums are a triumph of form over function. Also the large empty surrounding flat areas enforce the impact of the architectural qualities by removing any outside context or reference… but you didn’t hear any of that from me.
MCG was the first stadium I thought of. Fantastic planning.
That’s the spirit.
