Because if I'm measuring a board to cut, imperial divisions give me many more whole numbers that are way easier to deal with in most practical applications.

12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, while 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5. That means that all of the most common divisions are straightforward to calculate, instead of me trying to guess how far between 3 and 4 on my ruler 3.3333333333 centimeters is if I want my 1/3 cuts to line up correctly.

That's why the base of the system matters, and it's why imperial is objectively 20% more based than metric.

This is why we should start moving the main communities like memes and world news off instances like lemmy.ml

Because they don't have six inches of solid bone protecting their brains?

Wouldn't it then have to be a "boostershire shot"?

Yeah, because there definitely isn't a reason why Israel sending troops to other Middle Eastern countries would be a bad idea. It's definitely just because they're a bad ally.

Shoe's never been right wing, and she's steadily moved further left throughout her career.

It's got some ground to make up if it's going to try to take on the ROG Ally. Still, competition is exactly what this space needs ATM - can't wait to see where the market is in a few years!

Is this Blahaj.zone admin "child abuse material" or actual child abuse material?

Both of those are also defederated, I believe. It's one of the reasons I use sh.itjust.works (which Beehaw also defederated, which is why I also have a lemmy.ml alt :P )

Looks super clean! I just upgraded and I'll be getting my first 1440p ultrawide (not super ultrawide tho - my budget was only about $300) in a few weeks! Super excited about it!

Multiple individual residences and at least two apartment buildings in Chicago, for starters, and that's just the first examples I found in a ten second Google search.

The other historians have never had any friends so they can't relate to close platonic relationships.

Fun fact: while a much more often occurrence than once in a lifetime, "Thursday the 20th" is tied with "Saturday the 20th" as the least-likely combination of days of the week with the 20th day of the month, even though you'd think the chances would be exactly 1/7.

Here's the math about the Gregorian calendar that explains why. (Even though the post is about Friday the 13th, it straightforwardly can be applied to any other day/date combination as well.)

This doesn't seem to quite be true, based on my testing in the comment here.

It seems that if your comment is made on a censored instance, the word is completely replaced, and isn't visible to non-censored instances.

If this isn't accurate and you know more about how the code actually works, I'd love to know what the details are.
