As far as I know hPa is the preferred unit for air pressure and is used a lot. Usually referring to the air pressure of the atmosphere.
Also hectometer is used a lot when talking about land measurements. And we don't mostly keep to mm and m, in my experience cm is the most used and most useful measurement for every day objects.
All of the different prefixes are valid and are used. It just depends on what context, which one is the most useful. No reason to stick to the 10^3 units, just use them all.
First of all what one wants in terms of faucet designs is very personal. As such there are many many models to choose from. This makes each model in be produced in relatively low quantities, and be more expensive. If everyone would use the exact same faucet, they would be basically free. And you do see some models being used in new construction that are very cheap indeed, just because of the higher volumes.
Second of all, the tolerances and finishing involved. It's relatively easy to make a faucet that works, the designs have been perfected long ago and modern manufacturing can easily produce a working model. However to create a faucet that feels nice, that doesn't make weird noises, opens and closes smoothly etc. is a lot harder. I've had cheap faucets before, one of those single handle deals. It would take more force that I would like to open the tap, at which point it shoots open so water sprays out. The range in temperature is insanely hot to insanely cold with only a tiny single spot of normal temperature in between.
Third reason is they are made from a lot of parts and with materials that need to be handled really delicately. Chrome finishes that scratch easily when handled in properly, leading to the whole thing becoming instant scrap. This leads to hand assembly being the only option. And often it involves a lot of small parts that need to be placed just so. This adds a lot of cost.
Fourth reason is the materials themselves, often quite expensive to start with. Large parts being machined out of a single piece. By definition everything needs to be corrosion resistant. And it's one of the products where we still expect them to last 15-20 years easily. Not like the consumerism that's forced a 5 year lifespan to be called long in the modern world. The finishing coatings are often chemically applied with expensive materials and taking a long time. And a fully polished finish also takes time and is often done by hand and takes some skill.
Fifth reason is brand names. Just like with any designer thing, brand names and designers are a large part of the costs. You can often find designer faucets for outrageous prices and cheap knock offs that can be trash or sometimes even better than the original for half the price.
If we take the banana to be 180 grams and the square dishwasher to be 0.36 square meter, that would come to about 140,000 bananas per square dishwasher.
I liked 3 and 4 fine, but I loved 5. It had mediocre gameplay, but the story and missions were fun, with a lot of Easter eggs. Especially in multi player coop it was pretty fun.
I absolutely despised 6. It was bland and very broken on release. It also felt like 3 games shoved together that didn't really fit or interact. I later found it this was because that was exactly what they did. Due to covid the people working on it didn't really work together and the end result was a total mismatch. The story was very predictable and not worth it, even though they marketed the hell out of it. The side stories were mostly absent and not interesting at all. The game lacked any humor and wasn't self aware like 5 was.
The amounts of crashes and bugs made the game borderline unplayable when it came out. And these weren't the funny amount of jank I enjoy kind of crashes, these were proper game breaking bugs. There was no enemy variation at all and a lot of copy paste assets. To the point that every checkpoint that needed to be liberated had the exact same layout and enemies, down to the spawn location. The weapons and enemy strength made no sense at all. You'd use a big ass gun upgraded with special armor piercing bullets, shoot a regular dude right in the head and he would just shrug it off and keep going. The AI was also a joke, with enemies not reacting at all to what you did, just milling about and shooting at random. The game would send out special forces, which would promptly give up once you rode down the street. Some random pleb enemy on a corner could however snipe you at 300m somehow. The whole game made absolutely no sense.
The only interesting part was the firework backpack, but even this one fell pretty flat. There was one that was pretty OP, so that's the one most people used. Which is a shame, because fucking around with different packs could have been interesting. These were also broken on release, where most of the times the rockets would clip into the character model and just explode. So instead of doing damage and helping in a fight, you'd just blow yourself up.
I played a good amount of Far Cry 5, 100% completing it a couple of times. I did the story for Far Cry 6 and some of the side stuff in about 12 hours, then uninstalled the game and never played it again. I was so disappointed, Far Cry is dead to me.
There is about 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liter of water on Earth. Lets say Hitler was a pretty good water drinker and on average he ingested 4 liter of water (not just in drinking but also in food). Hitler lived for about 20,454 days and would have ingested about 81,816 of water. Lets say you are a water superfan and live to be 100 years old, then there is a chance of 0.001185845% you will drink some of the water that Hitler drunk at some point.
So it's probably not been in Hitlers mouth. Dinosaur piss I'll leave as an exercise for the reader.
So Yuki failed on the test and got assigned to RB, interesting. I wonder how long he's going to be there before he gives up. Honda will probably pay for him to be there indefinitely, but it has to be hard on someone as driven as him.
The name of the band is for their quest to become a full circle, a feat they have not attained thus far even though they have gotten close on several occasions.
He knows for sure the FIA doesn't have any money, because he just logged in to the bankaccount and saw it was still at 0 since the last time he transferred all the funds to his own account.
They didn't say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.
I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can't disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.
And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.
Well except for the exposed contacts from the holder. These types of holders are designed to be on the inside of things and not exposed. Bridging one side to the other would be a fire and explosion risk. OP needs to put a cover over it to be safe, or at least some kapton tape over the exposed contacts.
Or what I did the other day, put in a dd command with bs=1 where I meant to type bs=1M. Why is this taking so long? Is my drive broken? Is it even doing anything?
Took me a while to notice my mistake
Compensating for something are we? /s
