  • Article 5 specifies that the attack itself must occur in Europe or North America.

    I reality, i doubt anyone at NATO would really care about that technicality, but another user pointed out the Canadian embassy hadn't seen use in 12 years or something like that

  • The partial eclipse is nothing special. Any given location gets one every few years or so.

    Totality is the really neat and special thing, and it isn't damaging to your eyes. (assuming you don't pre-empt or overshoot the timing)

  • I honestly can't say I need resolution finer than Celsius for air temperature. So many other factors have such bigger effects on the perceived temperature (humidity, UV index, if the sun is shining, wind speed, etc) that a granularity of 1°F doesn't make sense to me.

    Pool temperature, on the other hand, yeah, 1°F or 0.5°C resolution is perceptible.

  • I don't like the bridge example because the values were chosen (intentionally or not) conveniently for metric. Change it to every 4 feet or 1.3 metres and it's no longer convenient in either system. There are better examples that demonstrate the superiority of metric.

    For example, pool cleaner says 1 unit per 10,000 gal or 40,000 L.

    21' diameter, 3' tall. So ~1000 ft³. Multiply by 1728/231 for gallons.

    7 m diameter, 1 m tall. So ~40 m³. Multiply by 1000 for litres.

    If you're curious where 1728/231 comes from, there are 12³ (1728) in³ for a ft³. Then the gallon is defined as 231 in³
