you stand before anubis and he asks if you have any questions
you clear your throat and, with full sincerity, ask, "what's heavier? a kilogram of heart or a kilogram of feathers?"

Story Time
Pod koniec wakacji chciałam kupić sobie wagę, bo czekała mnie wyprowadzka do bursy i po prostu chciałam mieć tam możliwość codziennego ważenia się. Znalazłam na allegro inteligentną wagę łazienkową w dobrej cenie. Już miałam ją kupić i nagle okazało się, że nie mam wystarczającej kwoty na karcie i strasznie mnie to zdziwiło. Weszłam na swoje konto w banku i żadnych pieniędzy tam nie było, a kiedy zaczęłam drążyć temat, okazało się, że zostały skradzione przez jakiś scam🙂🔫
Musiałam założyć nową kartę i ostatecznie nie kupiłam tej wagi i mogę ważyć się tylko w weekendy kiedy wracam do domu 😭

World Traveler: The Importance of Proper Units Conversions
Traveling the world opens up a mosaic of cultures, landscapes, and experiences. However, one practical aspect that often poses challenges to globe-trotters is the variation in measurement systems.

From the metric system (SI) used widely across Europe, Asia, and many other parts of the world, to the United States customary units (US), navigating through different units of measurement for weight, distance, temperature, and volume can be daunting.

Per salvarsi la vita, Joseph Dombey ebbe un'idea. Mentre due navi pirata circondavano la nave su cui si trovava nel Mar dei Caraibi nel 1794, Dombey si arrampicò sotto coperta, disincando mentre andava. Si è appropriato dell'abbigliamento di uno dei tanti marinai spagnoli della nave e ha pregato di aver imparato abbastanza della loro lingua durante i suoi viaggi in Sud America per fondersi. Dombey non avrebbe dovuto essere in questa posizione. In effetti, non avrebbe dovuto essere affatto nei Caraibi. Nientemeno che lo stesso Thomas Jefferson si aspettava di incontrare Dombey a Filadelfia in quel momento.

Il destino di Dombey quel giorno ha probabilmente ritardato l'adozione del sistema metrico negli Stati Uniti di quasi un secolo e ci ha lasciato come uno dei pochi paesi al mondo che usano ancora unità non metriche per le nostre misurazioni quotidiane.
Un viaggio condannato
I predoni ora brulicavano la nave di Dombey erano una particolare razza di pirata: corsari britannici —i terroristi sponsorizzati dallo stato del XVIII secolo. Queste bande idriche hanno avuto la tacita approvazione del governo di Londra per molestare e saccheggiare il commercio marittimo di altri paesi e mantenere parte del bottino come loro profitto.
Dopo aver preso il controllo della nave, i pirati si sono imbattuti in un marinaio che parlava spagnolo con un accento curiosamente francese: Joseph Dombey. Medico e botanico francese che agiva per ordine del governo francese, Dombey aveva lasciato la città portuale di Le Havre, in Francia, settimane prima per Filadelfia e l'incontro con Jefferson, primo segretario di stato degli Stati Uniti e futuro presidente. Ma le tempeste avevano spinto la nave di Dombey fuori rotta e in profondità nel territorio dei pirati.
La Francia aveva sostenuto gli Stati Uniti contro gli inglesi nella guerra d'indipendenza, e ora intendevano costruire legami economici più stretti con la nuova nazione americana. Dombey doveva negoziare con Jefferson per le esportazioni di grano in Francia e fornire due nuovi standard di misurazione francesi: uno standard di lunghezza (il metro) e uno standard di massa chiamato, piuttosto minacciosamente, un peso, da prendere in considerazione dagli Stati Uniti per l'adozione. (Il peso sarebbe stato ribattezzata il chilogrammo un anno dopo nel 1795.)
In molti modi, Dombey è stata una scelta eccellente per questa missione. Essendo già stato in diversi viaggi in Sud America per raccogliere esemplari botanici, era un esperto viaggiatore transatlantico. La sua conoscenza delle piante sarebbe anche di aiuto nei suoi negoziati commerciali agricoli con Jefferson. E la formazione scientifica di Dombey come medico e botanico gli ha dato una comprensione dell'importanza di pesi e misure accurati, quindi era molto probabile che sarebbe stato in grado di convincere il Congresso ad adottare i nuovi standard francesi, che in seguito sarebbero stati conosciuti come il sistema metrico.
Nonostante le sue qualifiche, Dombey mancava di un attributo importante: la fortuna. I suoi viaggi precedenti erano tutti finiti in un fallimento. Aveva trascorso due anni in Perù a raccogliere piante che potevano essere utilmente coltivate in Francia, solo per far catturare la spedizione dagli inglesi. Un secondo viaggio di raccolta, questa volta in Cile e in collaborazione con la Spagna, è crollato a causa di una disputa commerciale, con la Spagna che ha tenuto tutti i preziosi esemplari. Ma il viaggio di Dombey a Filadelfia si sarebbe rivelato il suo più disastroso.
Dopo aver appreso la sua vera identità, i pirati imprigionarono Dombey sull'isola caraibica di Montserrat. Sfortunatamente, Dombey morì prima che fossero in grado di riscattarlo ai francesi, e le unità di misura in carica non Furono mai nelle mani di Jefferson.
Un'occasione mancata
Alcuni storici vedono questo evento come una tragica opportunità mancata le cui conseguenze stiamo ancora vivendo oggi. Quando gli Stati Uniti sono diventati una nazione indipendente, hanno ereditato una collezione incoerente di pesi e misure tradizionali britannici. Il Congresso era consapevole dei difetti delle sue misure britanniche e fu formato un comitato congressuale per raccomandare soluzioni. Thomas Jefferson, un ammiratore delle idee scientifiche francesi, fece pressioni per un sistema di misurazione simile a quello della Francia. Ma il Congresso non l'ha adottato, e il sistema influenzato dagli inglesi ha invece preso piede negli Stati Uniti. Tuttavia, se i pirati non avessero intercettato Dombey mentre andava a Filadelfia, la situazione potrebbe essere molto diversa oggi. Come scrive lo storico Andro Linklater nel suo libro Measuring America,
"La vista [al Congresso] di quei due oggetti di rame [mitometro e peso di Dombey], così facilmente copiati e inviati a ogni stato dell'Unione, insieme agli importanti argomenti scientifici che li sostengono, avrebbe potuto chiarire le menti di senatori e rappresentanti. E oggi gli Stati Uniti potrebbero non essere l'ultimo paese al mondo a resistere al sistema metrico".
Ci sarebbero voluti quasi 100 anni dopo la fallita missione di Dombey davanti agli Stati Uniti, con l'Ordine di Mendenhall del 1893 , ha adottato ufficialmente gli standard metrici come nostri standard fondamentali per pesi e misure. Mentre da allora molte industrie statunitensi si sono convertite in metriche, la lunga storia della nazione con standard influenzati dagli inglesi ha rallentato l'adozione diffusa di unità metriche nella pratica comune.
Che ne è stato del metro e del peso che Dombey aveva con sé nel 1794? Sono state fatte solo sei serie di questi standard. E solo il set di Dombey è noto per aver viaggiato nelle Americhe. Il carico sulla nave di Dombey è stato infine messo all'asta. Il metro e il peso sono stati acquistati e, attraverso una serie di intermediari francesi, gli standard sono stati consegnati al prossimo segretario di stato degli Stati Uniti, Edmund Randolph. Randolph non è riuscito a capire il significato degli standard e non ha intrapreso alcuna azione al riguardo.
In qualche modo una tomba finì in possesso di Andrew Ellicott , un contemporaneo di Dombey e un geometra ben considerato. Ellicott ha esaminato i confini per quello che è diventato Washington, D.C., e ha completato il piano stradale per D.C. che era stato originariamente immaginato da Pierre L'Enfant . Il peso rimase nella famiglia Ellicott fino al 1952, quando il suo discendente Andrew Ellicott Douglass la donò al museo NIST.

Il peso ora in mostra nel museo è la stessa catturata dai pirati nel 1794? Questo rimane un mistero.

ANYWAY alright i hope u enjoy— it’s a just a short ficlet 😌💖
LN: quid pro quo
pairing(s): lando norris x reader [read on ao3]
word count: 1.2k
“Eugh,” Lando says, feigning a gag as he looks at the plate of food set in front of you, “That’s disgusting. I don’t understand how you can put that in your mouth.”
Slowly, you raise an eyebrow at him, looking between your plate and Lando’s screwed-up expression; you point at your food, “Salmon? You think salmon is disgusting? Are you joking right now?”
He shakes his head fervently, a grimace still stuck on his face, “It’s gross.”
A laugh, loud and guffawing erupts from your mouth as you realise he’s being entirely serious. He’s fixated on your meal, frowning as if the fish has severely insulted him in some way. Quickly, you clap your hand over your mouth, concerned you’ll offend him if you keep laughing like that. This is one of a handful of dates you’ve been on together— clearly the first you’ve ordered seafood on— and you’re still trying to make a good impression on Lando.
“Wait,” you collect yourself, breathing deeply so you don’t fall into a fit of giggles again, “You’re not allergic are you?”
“No,” he shrugs, “I just hate fish. You’ve never heard that?”
You snort a little indelicately, already going back to eating your salmon, “‘You’ve never heard that?’,” you tease, “Do you think I stalk you on the internet, Norris?”
He grins that small sheepish grin you like so much as a light blush blooms on his cheeks. You’re very fond of him really. He’s cute in a scrappy kind of way; he’s funny and charming, a little bit dumb sometimes; and he’s into you, which is always a bonus. You’re not together— not quite— just seeing each other when you both have time, but it’s been going very nicely if you do say so yourself.
You like him.
He likes you.
Lando rolls his eyes, and purses his lips in an attempt not to let you see the smile that he’s trying to hide, “Don’t you? Stalk me on the internet?”
“Never,” you answer resolutely, thinking blatantly of that night after you’d first met him when you fell down a rabbit hole, spending a good hour watching thirst traps of him on Instagram before coming to your senses, “Not once.”
He hums, unconvinced, “Alright.”
Alright. You make a face, almost stick your tongue out at him but think better of it at the last second. He laughs— giggles— at you. You look away from him, down at your plate, trying to hide the smile that spreads and spreads behind your hair. God, you like him. You’re trying not to let it get away from you. You get the impression that he’s not huge on relationships, and you’re trying hard to be casual about him. It’s difficult— mostly because everything feels so easy when you’re together.
“So,” you start as you push a forkful of salmon and leafy greens around your plate, “Hate to break it to you, but I’m a pescetarian.”
“Um,” Lando asks around a mouthful of half-chewed food, “What’s that mean?”
You stifle a laugh, “Like a vegetarian, but I eat seafood.”
He swallows and makes another face, similar to the earlier one. You can see this is hard for him to process, he clearly dislikes seafood to a degree that you hadn’t quite understood until now. It’s funny. It’s another thing to add to the growing list of reasons you fancy Lando Norris. Though you would think that as a pescetarian you’d want him to like fish, but you suppose by not eating them he’s just saving all the sea animals that you’re not— quid pro quo.
“What about, like,” he waves his fork around, evidently still wondering why you’d eat seafood voluntarily, “just being a vegetarian?”
You shrug, “Vegetables are boring.”
“Right. Better than eating fish though.”
“I like fish.”
He shakes his head, “I don’t get it… It’s— they’re slimy and they smell and they’ve got fucking beady little eyes. It’s not natural.”
“Okay,” you laugh brightly at his despondent expression, “I do need to eat them, unfortunately. Otherwise, I’d probably die of malnutrition, or I dunno, scurvy.”
He groans, hanging his head so that all you can see of his face is that mop of brown curls. You think of your second date when you’d kissed him for the first time in your stairwell and how you’d threaded a hand into it— and they were soft and not heavy with product the way that you hate. The way he’d smelt like expensive cologne and tasted both smokey and sugary at the same time, just like the whiskey and cokes he’d been having at the bar. There’s a soft smile playing at your lips when he finally looks up.
“Does it bother you?” you ask, “That I eat fish.”
He shrugs, shakes his head in a non-committal way that could be either answer and does that little grin again. The one that means he’s going to say something that you’ll find either unbearably cute or embarrassingly funny.
“Yes,” he says, grin not subsiding, “How am I supposed to kiss you when you’ve got fish breath.”
Your eyebrows shoot up and a shocked laugh bubbles from your mouth, you try to ignore the stirring feeling in your gut at the words how am I supposed to kiss you in favour of responding to his lack of tact Try, being the keyword there. It somersaults in your head, how am I supposed to kiss you he said, like he was thinking of doing it again. Which, okay, of course, he’s thinking of doing it again. You understand what this is— but there was an unmistakable fondness there that you just can't shake.
Anyway, you push thoughts of kissing him aside, he’d still accused you of having fish breath, “Wow,” you say dryly, with no malice at all as much as you try to feign it, “You say that to all the girls?”
He blushes, his tan cheeks turning a very pleasant red as he properly realises what he’d said, “Shit. No— oh my god— I’m sorry. I just meant—”
You wave him off, laughing, “I know what you meant. You’re good, Lando.”
“Phew,” he lets out a breath of relief, his nervous laughter punctuating the air between you, without meaning to he says, “God, I thought I’d just fucked it.”
You furrow your brows and frown, confused, “No. You couldn’t.”
You watch him scrub a hand over his face, embarrassed, before it falls away and he gives you a sheepish little grin that says he’s happy to hear that. Toothy, eyes squinted and carving dimples into his cheeks. Your face feels warm and you smile back, biting your bottom lip on the smile so it doesn’t grow and grow to cover your whole face.
Later, after you’ve finished lunch and spent too much time talking over a too-sticky table in your favourite pub, Lando kisses you up against a tree in the park by your apartment. You put your hand in his soft curls and you smell cologne and taste what he’s been drinking as he presses his tongue into yours. The coarse hair of his moustache brushes against your lips and you kiss back with equal gusto. You pull away when it feels like you two are veering into too inappropriate territory for this public park. He chases you, but you laugh softly, pressing a perfunctory closed-mouth kiss to the corner of his mouth. He groans, laughs, and puts his forehead against yours.
You hum, “I guess my fish breath doesn’t bother you so much, huh.”
“Fuck,” he breathes, “You’re never going to let that go are you.”
You shake your head ever so slightly, “Not as long as I live, Norris.”
