How is it more practical when 1 m/m = 1 mm/mm = 1 μm/μm?

mm/mm?? why not call it m/m?

Yes! More surveillance! More secret radio chatter! Rip up the Outer Space Treaty! Let the superpowers play chicken with orbital nuclear bombardment! A lazy dog over every child's head!

imagine how a leafs fan would feel reading this lol

you clearly aren't a geneticist

First one looks like an urchin with pattern baldness

Toxoplasma gondii is a microscopic bug, who carries on genius in its genes

Or any smallpox samples sitting in the back of an old lab, like the ones they found in 2014. Or the smallpox samples that the US and Russian governments keep as WMDs for research purposes.

So much wrong with this article...

First Nations of the Pays d'en Haute weren't "Jesuit controlled". They had had asserted their independence in Pontiac's War, which they initiated on their own judgement, and during which they received no Canadien support despite First Nation appeals. Serious historians haven't considered this Indigenous warfare a French conspiracy for many many decades.

"The caging of the colonies onto the Pacific [Atlantic] Coast" by the establishment of the Indian Reserve was done in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and it's ratification as the Treaty of Fort Niagara to end Pontiac's War, not with the Quebec Act a decade later. The continued restriction on settlement after the Quebec Act was introduced was an attempt to maintain this peace, not to subvert the Continental Congress which didn't even exist yet.

Though I guess this is to be expected. If the author admitted not only that Indigenous peoples of the Ohio Country opposed settlement but they were independent nations who did so on their own volition, then the author wouldn't be able to pretend that manifest destiny was some anti-racist position that only brought colonial genocide due to subversion from crypto-monarchists.

The author also blames Franklin's failure to rally Montrealers soley on a lack of time due to military setbacks. They totally ignore how the Continental Army inserting itself as a fur trade middleman, refused to work in bullion, and failed to commitment to long-term Canadien religious freedom made most people in the city hate then.

Oh and the traitors in league with the City of London and the Reign on Terror being the fault of British foreign policy are just bizarre and conspiratorial.

tl;dr the author needs to read something other than conspiracy theories and George Bush's childhood American history textbook

Yeah but that's only when they're on their way back to the sea, for most of the salmon run the fish are perfectly edible. For Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest whose territories don't directly border the sea (so mostly Interior and Columbia Plateau nations) the salmon run was traditionally a major source of staple food. The rivers used to run so thick with fish that people up and down the major rivers could gather enough salmon to live off for the next year.

Pretty sure he's only in a defensive posture because the plate was just plopped right in front of him. Crayfish are cannibalistic scavengers so this would actually be a welcome sight.

Imperial (used in the British Empire) vs US customary. The imperial fluid gallon (4.54609 L exactly) was never historically defined in terms of another unit while the US fluid gallon was defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785411784 L exactly). A pint is defined as 1/16 of a gallon in each system, but they can't agree on how many ounces are in a pint (16 for US, 20 for imperial). Note that there are also imperial and US customary dry gallons and thus imperial and US customary dry pints...

Currently used definitions of the cup:

The US customary cup (236.6 mL) is 8 US customary fluid ounces. The US customary fluid ounce (29.6 mL) is 1/16 of a US fluid pint.

The US legal cup (240 mL) is 8 US nutritional fluid ounces. The US nutritional fluid ounce is 30 mL.

The metric cup is 250 mL

Historically used definitions of the cup:

Ths British cup (284.1 mL) is 10 imperial fluid ounces. The imperial fluid ounce (28.4 mL) is 1/20 of an imperial fluid pint

The Canadian cup (227.3 mL) is 8 imperial fluid ounces
