I had a though recently. It would be neato to have some open source, crowdsourced world database of item locations, where you add this sort of information.
Tagged search of a store, where certain items are. What’s stores in a city sell X item. That sort of thing.
Call it “WorldDB”, bake it into OpenStreetMap.
No idea what the legality would be, but I would LOVE it.
May write a post about it at some point, as I am no programmer.
I know you’re not supposed to put down other people’s faith, but this is weird.
Cannibals, the lot of them
Not in isolation, no. We have it in Australia, but we’re not socialist.
But I’d say first past the post voting is antithetical to democracy and one ought to fight to remove it.

We’ve heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
I should clarify, this is my personal preference, for ease of conversion. I wish we stuck to consistent intervals. They’re all valid, just that I find it very lovely that in industrial/construction we don’t use cm (in Australia)
But there are so many various pressure units in use, which is a slight inconvenience. Pa, Bar, atm, cm-water, are the ones I’ve come across in actual use so far. (Metric engineering context, RIP US engineers)
Makes it necessary for me to use a calculator to make sure I’m not messing something up. kPa to mbar: okay *bar/(100 kPa) * 1000 mbar/bar (which I’m now noticing is hPa)
So in addition to my preference for consistent prefix intervals, let’s also stop using Bar, cm-water, and anything else that’s not Pa. That’d be nice ☺️
Just poking some fun because they’re so prolific, not complaining!
At least they can. So bummed stock android no longer has the option :(
As much as hPa is legitimate, in English speaking contexts I wish we kept to 10^3 prefixes. (Pa, kPa, MPa, GPa etc).
Like how we keep to nm, μm, mm, m, km. Mostly.
Or if one really must, atmospheres. Other units are just more of a pain to convert between, like yeah, it’s metric, so it’s not THAT hard, but just nicer in my opinion if it’s consistent intervals.
Alas, at least I very rarely need to deal with PSI. Only with valve manufacturers using imperial valve coefficients (Cv values), grumble, grumble. They don’t even include the units usually, which to me is heresy. The units are US gallons/min of water at 60 °F per pressure drop of 1 PSI. Like, US engineers have this really stupid habit of not including units in constants and coefficients in some contexts, drives me up the wall.
Thanks for being the convenient recipient of this metric engineer’s unit rant.
Close up on face and phone, would be my guess on how to easily resolve this while keeping the same tone
A stupid design in that case too, though. Make people need to sit in specific seats for their handedness… Smort
My work laptop’s graphics card maxes out at 4. I’m pretty sad about it.
Oh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/
I think in both cases (modern China, and the USSR), there is a genuine feeling/desire towards the ideals.
In both cases though, it is co-opted for propaganda purposes, and falls pretty flat when inequality is off the charts.
Which is a shame, if you have socialist beliefs
I wish them the best though, and hope they figure things out to bring outcomes more in line with the ideals.
I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth
Can’t say I’m terribly creative, the only community I mod I just copied when migrating from Reddit:

So in terms of inventing one from scratch, I dunno haha
For names (suggestions/spitballing) a play on words with the political compass?
This is so bizarre. Clown school? Gold plated gun?
And to top it off, an American with no concept of laws being different outside the US
I appreciate this so much, thank you for filling those blanks
Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.
Does this mean two females are able to produce sexually viable offspring?
