One of my cars got a jaywalking ticket once. Robots in Disguise!

Yup. One would start with that and then (hopefully) agree on a standard that is hopefully metric.

It’s not meant to be real accurate. It’s meant to “do for now”. There’s a reason that the metric system took so long to come into existence. We have the advantage of hindsight. Any society starting over might not have access to that experience.

I agree. My point was about if a population needed to do a measurement system from the ground up.

For example, I can tell someone that the length between their knuckles of their index finger is about an inch or that a foot is literally based on the length of the human foot without having to have a ruler present. The metric system has no easy references. The history of the Imperial system is messy but it works (mostly) as a way to do rough measurements until the accuracy needed for the metric system is present. After that, the metric system makes conversions really easy, including getting rid of lot of units, and makes more sense.

Once you have the needed accuracy, the Imperial system is inferior to the metric system and should be phased out.

In an apocalypse, the Imperial system of measurement is easier to reestablish than the metric system though that should be used with an eye to switching to metric. The USA uses both and it would be nice if things (like soda) didn’t have to list two measurements or having to ask a doctor to convert from metric to Imperial.

There’s another slot for storage and you might be able to replace the primary drive, like I did with my Legion Go. You should be able to do 4 TB, even more if there’s a SD card slot.

That sort of thing was tried by libertarians in New Hampshire and it went boom.

Nancy Drew has a girl friend named George.

That was with Summit. It works with Boost for Lemmy.

I get the error code: 400 Bad request.

Robin Williams, on my birthday. Great guy, a gamer, and knew his way around computers. It might not have hit as hard if it hadn’t been my birthday.

A bit more than Velcro. Memory foam, for example.

Soon to be Bo American (and proud of it).

A previous version of this article stated that the White House app was actively tracking users’ GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes via OneSignal’s SDK. This characterisation, which circulated widely on X, including in posts that accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, has since been contested by independent technical analysis. Multiple developers who reviewed the decompiled code confirmed that while the GPS tracking constants exist within OneSignal’s bundled SDK, the app does not call that capability. No location permission prompt is issued to users upon installation, and OneSignal’s documentation states that location data is not collected unless a developer explicitly enables the feature. The GPS code is most likely residual from the SDK template rather than a deliberate implementation. This article has been updated to reflect that distinction.

This is at the bottom of the article.

My wife is a wheelchair user. For one flight, we tried to arrive as quick as we could. The TSA agents processed us as fast as they could. Once done, a TSA agent grabbed my backpack and ran towards our plane so that I could push my wife’s wheelchair. Another agent had already gone to ask the flight crew to wait for us. We could have easily missed our flight. I wouldn’t call myself a TSA supporter but I know that they are good TSA agents out there.

Yes. Boost for Lemmy didn’t indicate what file format was used.
