Standing alone 'm' is metre.

With a decimal modifier ahead of it, 'm' is metre

Immediately before a symbol it is milli (one thousandth)

mm - the first m is before the metre symbol, it is the milli multiplier, the second m is after a multiplier, so it is the symbol for metre

mHz - the m is before the symbol Hz (for Hertz) so it is the milli multiplier

km - the m is after the K (kilo, thousand times) multiplier, so it is metre

You probably spell metre 'meter', but a meter is a whole different word in English

To expand on that, 1 mHz would be 1 thousandth of a cycle per second/one cycle per thousand seconds

1m/s is about 3.6km/h or 2.237 mph

There are two major classes of canned food:

Things that are acid (like fruit) or sufficiently sweet (like jam) or salty are able to canned in a boiling water bath

Things that have no chemical protection (like meat, many vegetables) need to be canned at high pressure so they boil at well over 100°C and destroy all pathogens

Pressure canned foods (eg tinned fish) are poor-man's autoclaved

Swedish uniqueness became part of the collective

Some of us want all the internet connected options. And want to own their machine and have good security

Open source car software and firmware would do that

They had live ammo and live shooting non-disabled guns. The crew were using them on the incident day to shoot cans, and this was the armorer's first second film job

I eat highland raised beef, fed entirely on their pasture, so probably very little pesticide or gene edited cereals

It's only national parks uphill, upstream, from them

I use cast iron to cook, I dislike plastic cooking tools, so I use pans that can tolerate steel.

I drink from glass almost exclusively and I donate plasma, which is probably the only way of getting rid of PFAS chemicals (the "forever chemicals")

You and I have heard the same stories. I follow "better to be safe than sorry"

I really care about food

Oh don't forget about asbestos

Yes, I have three of them

Olight is my current favourite

You sound ready to spring your "but you can do that in Linux" trap

The loyalty card is the cookie

Someone linked it upthread. It's one of several similar cabins in a glob on the edge of the forest

I like Baba Yaga's style. If I could have a house on chicken legs, I'd have a house on chicken legs

But it doesn't meet modern universal design rules

My pocket torch has a clip that allows it to clip to a hat, if one needs to extemporise a head lamp

It's more compact than my headlamps, and I'm more likely to have it and a hat

My headlamps hang near the back door of the house for when light is needed in the yard after dark

Everything is a meme, to the technical meaning of the word. Democracy is a meme.

Bathroom medicine cabinets are generally out of reach of children

If you don't replace a blade until you have a replacement blade, why not just presume you'll shave forever and use the wrapper from the next?

I did stop shaving for years and when I went back to shaving and replaced the old blade, and wrapped it in the replacement blade's wrapper

This is where that saying "one is none" comes in. Have enough blades. Buy more well before you run out

That sort of packaging is only on the blades that are more expensive than the blades the price conscious commenters have been quoting the cost of

You're expecting to be in that wall?
