  • Thanks, friend :)

    I know how it comes to be, I just think it's stupid.

    For example, kW times h is not the same as kW per hour. That's why kWh means kilowatt times hour.

    If I wrote ms to denote meters per second that would create massive confusion.

  • I guess you're talking about psi.

    (No offense to you, dear Buffaloaf, I just looked it up and thought I might share).

    For everyone of the 191 non-USA countries, 10 psi is 0,69 bar or 690 hPa. That's pretty low.

    By the way, why is psi written in such a weird way? It should be lbs/ in^2

  • If you may ever feel an interest towards collecting your herbs, apple tree leaves are a tea that's totally slept on.

    Oxidise/ ferment them like one would black tea by freezing them to burst open the cells. Then thaw them and roll them in your hands into little balls or cigars. With enough pressure so that water comes out (your hands will turn yellow from the juice). Then rest these balls for a few minutes under cover, roast them quickly in a pan (not until it smells toasty, just to lose some moisture quickly) and dry.

  • I can give you one more that can make me seem either a lot superior or a lot inferior in the tea snob world.

    • Loose leaf
    • Collected and fermented by myself
    • But it's not from the tea plant, it's herbal tea
  • A gifted football is hardly a batch of shame.

    China gifted Germany two pandas who live in the Berlin zoo. They cost us around 2 million euros a year in upkeep iirc. Now that's a gift with a baggage.

  • Atomic blonde in atomic blonde.

    She's "totally badass" without ever having a reason to do anything. No strong convictions or stakes, just action.

    I really hoped the film would switch perspective midway and follow the Berlin dude. It would be special, having such an elaborate introduction and then forgetting the character atomic blonde completely, but it would have made a better film imo.

  • We also use two different alphabets. Lower case and upper case. Upper case is basically Latin script optimised for stone carving, lower case was developed for ink writing (I think in the Carolingian era). Now we use both at the same time without batting an eye.

    Add cursive in the mix and we also have 78 letters instead of 26.

  • Haha "superior" western equipment is vulnerable, you see?! One Hi-MARS almost down, the others will follow. Russian rugged equipment is better and will soon win against puny, diva, only-works-in-ideal-conditions wstern materiel.

  • How many McDonald's are there compared to general tso's chicken?

    Both comparisons are irrelevant. It is about how much control and access China/US have over tiktok/Google and the user data and algorithms.

  • I don't know if this is a misunderstanding or if you're deliberately using an additional second meaning for comedic effect.

    But @ChaoticNeutralCzech meant 'stans' as 'central Asia' because of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgisistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
