It's actually kinda weird that they use dollars and cents and not pounds, shillings, pennies and farthings, because that feels much more compatible with the imperial way of thinking.
The historical context here is that's how you cracked eggs in the middle ages, before they had our modern egg-cracking technology.
You balanced the egg on the head of a priest or monk and then hit it with a rock.
So the excitement comes from the imminent enjoyment of a freshly cracked egg.
It'll never be truly equal as long as there's a fixed order of the letters.
The only way to make it fair is to include all the letters (from every writing system, not just the latin because that feels overly eurocentric) and the guarantee true randomness of the order or come up with some system where the order is shifted by one every time it's mentioned.
Also, the original letters must be in the center to begin with (to make them equally distant for RTL or LTR readers), to make up for their historical over exposure.
Just out of curiosity, what makes you not care about the climate?

I'm no good with kids, but basically turn the things on and off a few times, to make sure they don't get stuck from mineral build up or something.
If you need to change your faucet, you need to be able to turn the water off and this is what these valves do.
I saw a clip from probably Fox where someone made that point.
He wanted to be able to use his grandma's recipes for whatever and also noted that the metric system was creacted by revolutionaries, the implication obvious being the pride that North America has never had a single revolution, which is why you'll see pictures of the king in every classroom and the union jack being flown everywhere in the colonies.
Because another connector has been stubbornly used for years and there's a whole ecosystem of cables and peripherals made for that, now outdated, connector.
I don't think anyone can say in good faith this isn't a pretty big deal.
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to molesting kids.
"Yeah I know what the church did and it doesn't bother me in the least. If those kids didn't want to be molested, they shouldn't have been near priests."
