Do you have trouble communicating metric sizes to Americans?
If so, I have you covered!
I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"
I freely admit I'm an "outside looking in" cis-guy, but it seems like "trans issues" are the issues created by people who have a problem with trans people. I mean, y'all just living your life and doing your best, like the rest of us, and some gomer comes in and starts telling you what is and isn't. Nobody needs that.

Next to go is the gas house heater (heat pump), gas water heater (heat pump), gas stove (induction cooktop). We installed solar 2 years ago, and generate more than the house and cars use. When we draw from the grid, we're using wind/battery stored solar. Except for plastic, we'll be fossil fuel free.
There is increasing disparity between what the public wants and what the politicians want.

I'm forced to wonder if Elmo went insane, or if he's always been insane, but just recently stopped listening to his PR firm?
Did you know that Democrats have consistently voted to PROTECT CONSUMERS from price-gouging corporations? They believe that we deserve affordable prices and fair treatment, not exploitation.
SCOTUS has no jurisdiction, it was state charges. Unless they try to argue that business fraud is a right protected under the Constitution.
WE MADE IT TO A YEAR!!!
Every Friday for the last 52 weeks I have added a new dancer to the canvas. I now claim my crown as Queen of Pointless Projects & hope that you all have a splendid weekend, if you possibly can π
It's election season and Tories are losing. I'm sure there's a lot of hot air blowing around UK, these days.
For the first time, wind power in the UK has exceeded fossil-fuel power for two consecutive quarters. #ShareGoodNewsToo https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/wind-overtakes-fossil-fuels-uk-electricity-generation-maguire-2024-04-23/
MAGA Haberman needs to go away.
Yet another reason to cheer for median, rather than average.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
