The bats use the metric system. You can not tell me that the bats would use inches, feet, yards and miles when centimeters, meters, and kilometres are right there.
#the waynes use the imperial system because they are dirty little Americans#but the bats are all logic#logically Metric is better#batfam#dc#batfamily#tim drake#jason todd#dick grayson#damian wayne#bruce wayne#stephanie brown#barbra gordon#cassandra cain#duke thomas#alfred penyworth#although Alfred has always used the metric system. being British and all

And it's Commander Bly in the "this took me forever and I ran out of yarn twice" shawl!
Commander Cody * Commander Fox * Commander Ponds * Commander Bly
Pattern: Moorland Shawl
#clone commander shawl project#commander bly#the saga of star wars#vs does a knit#vs does a photo post#star wars#the clone wars#i was going for the stripey look but also#this took a metric shit ton of time which admittedly was also because i played Veilguard twice#while working on it#but also it's absolutely massive#also some folks asked if i was making up these patterns myself and I realized i should have been including those whoops#because no definitely not#i already struggle doing math counting stitches#also i am amusing myself every time i get to do the group shot of all of them#eventually it will be hard to get but its like aaaah look at the progress

Maturing is realizing the Waffle House Index is a shitty unit of "measuring" the severity of a catastrophe, and we should never have plainly and callously celebrated a company that is willing to sacrifice their employees during a hurricane for below-par food. We should never celebrate this, anyway, but the sheer level of crass jokes that are associated with this "metric" is uniquely cruel.
#politics#us politcs#why is Wikipedia describing the waffle house index as an 'informal but USEFUL metric' what the actual fuck#how are y'all This callous#also i dont think this is a useful metric notwithstanding everything else...#...because you're fundamentally a business and encouraging people to Brave A Hurricane or whatever is Dangerous actually :)#i feel like all this does is make people take extreme weather LESS seriously. it is by NO means a 'useful metric'#also don't come at me for saying their food is below-par. my opinion of them is irrevocably sullied because of shit like that#and i am not willing to give them grace and understanding in this. they can handle me saying their food is Not Worth Lives

"the europeans" did you know that most of the world uses kg and meters including south America. unitedstatians are not beating the uneducated idiot burger allegations.
all these anons are doing is proving america truly is the greatest nation in the world, as it is becoming more and more apparent that we are in fact the only nation where people make jokes! god bless
#i'm sorry to all the followers i get like five of these a week and i delete them but like#the sheer dumbass condescension of europeans (because it is damn near universally europeans who make these comments) is so funny#you may not be the only continent who uses the metric system#but you sure are the only continent who gets this pissy when people make fun of it lmao

I wonder how much of the world economy is distorted by the fact that the US dollar dominates it and so the US could (if it doesn't already) inflate it's own economy at will.
Maybe Apple isn't worth billions of dollars. I don't know, I never used an iPhone.
#cosas mias#I mean countries like China produce lots more of tangible stuff than the US by that metric they're worth more#all the production of Argentina isn't suddenly worthless because the peso declines against the dollar

Me: yea so you see, Oltyx knew anger at his exile clouded his judgement sometimes, so as a messed up workaround he commissioned a cryptek to augment his mind with partial copies of distinct parts of his own consciousness. However, given his general state of mind, him and the 5 resulting subminds end up spending most of the time being unhealthily hostile towards each other. The subminds are too different to ever agree on something, and Oltyx is always so annoyed at their constant bickering and criticism of him that he never properly listens to their advice. But as the stakes get higher and he's forced to work through his anger and entitlement so he could save his people, Oltyx starts to be more gentle and trusting with his subminds, and in turn they start working together, so they could take better care of Oltyx. They're not even constantly on the edge due to specifics of their minds anymore! The 6 end up being an actual team where every member is valued and respected, which is an incredible metaphor for self-acceptance, because you can never be whole if you despise parts of yourself, however contradictory, and-
My cat: meow (give chicken)
#wh40k#twice dead king#oltyx#insane about the subminds. can you tell#im not even done with the book yet. and then theres another book#which they all should be in given its synopsis so i hope nobody dies lol#another thing im insane about is the amount of tragic love in oltyxs family but thats a given#i was expecting to read about like. meat. because flayers#dont get me wrong theres still a metric ton of it but i mean#p

mdzs tumblr post au but itās just āwhat were you doing at the devilās sacramentā (nightless city)
#iāve gotten there in my reread and while wwx def didnāt have good intentions *going* there#(he did want to vent his anger; āthey finally attacked first!ā etc)#frankly i donāt see it as any different from a battle theyād initiated#(and also the actual thing WAS actually a battle they iniated even if wwx was waiting for that to happen but ignoring that)#it was a pledge against him and one with intention of attack#jgs literally said āand tomorrow weāll scatter the ashes of the rest of the wen dogs and the yiling patriarch wei yingā#whether he meant it literally or not doesnāt matter bc at some point they *were going to attack*#and everyone there came to sign up for that right? everyone was prepared to face wwx in battle already right?#and if they WERENāT prepared to do that and were just there for reputation points THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE#THATāS ON THEM#so no they werenāt planning to be attacked BY wwx but they WERE planning to attack wwx which should be the same thing#the only difference is who has the advantage of surprise⦠which they were planning to use to their advantage#so regardless of wwxās intentions (and their impacts on his morality if you care about that)#i do NOT think itās fair to say he killed x thousand innocents/unprepared people/sth along those lines#that battle and those casualities were going to happen anyway the only difference was when#(and the only reason it IS painted as such an evil act rather than some heroic battle is because by all metrics wwx won)#so yeah 3000 cultivators⦠*what were YOU doing at the devilās sacrament*#mdzs misc#mdzs

April isn't quite over yet, and, y'all, the farmer's tan... She's bad.
#rambling into the void#little ghost on the prairie#being forced to spend all my time in the garden today because the internet at work was out (again) (truly a shame)#planting a metric ass ton of trees yesterday probably didn't help either#the problem has been that i'm either too tired or it's been too cold on my days off that i haven't been able to get my legs caught up

we are still talking about various failures in literacy education & my main thought on this continues to be "funding for public schools must increase" but i am also thinking about premodern literature scholarship, which makes an effort to describe different kinds of literacy (functional, scholarly, contextual, whatever). my strongly held beliefs that literacy is a valuable skill in our present economy & that literacy enables information autonomy aren't necessarily referring to the same discrete skillset
#'we used to do phonics!' oh? when? who's we? who was in our audience? what assessment metrics were in place?#i am being an underinformed curmudgeon here because i think there are a lot of popular discussions about education which collapse#into politicized tropes without really addressing how complicated & contingent public education is as a logistical endeavor#all this to say i feel pretty fucking bleak about the whole thing

hey guys if you find an east blue polycule fic and it doesnt use the tag for it on ao3 please tell them theres a tag they can use. please god i dont want to be the only person doing this but fics arent accessible to the right audience if you dont tag them properly
@ authors it makes eb5 fic harder to find if you dont tag them properly. i dont care whether "you dont think it counts" or not. i want to be able to see all of the eb5 fic. thank you
#modposts#m so fucking mad because eb5 fic is produced kind of often now but people dont tag it. which is making me loose my goddamn mind#i cant read your fic if you dont tag it properly. please just tag it properly#east blue polycule#can the metric be would ms-all-sunday like this and if the answer is yes tag the damn thing

I'm glad they left the casualty toll up for player interpretation because for better or worse at least it keeps people discussing DA2
If not this what else is left....do yall think Merrill uses the same ball of twine to find her way around town or does she buy a new one every day
#lets discuss the twine-based casualties because if you trip in hightown you WILL continue tripping all the way to lowtown (long ass stairs)#ironically discussing the explosion & the mage rebellion by extension over and over unavoidably nonstop is what Anders wanted#he's an engagement hound he's a metrics mogul he's fishing for replies and he's got a bite on the line

is it bad that I thought maryland was in the midwest (ie: Like southeastish of washington)
I'm not usamerican so ill blame it on that but. Is this bad
ā @aldi-official-australia
yes. yes because
1. Maryland is known for blue crabs which are on the East coast
2. the Midwest does refer to a location in the USA
i mean i guess its SouthEast from Washington but not really. its very East some of it South but not really at all.
3. im kind of offended that you knew where Washington was and i didn't (im from america born and raised)
#im unsure if americans are supposed to say usamerican#especially like every time#because it's generally referred to (here) as america#so after specifying us (above) do you just say America? or say usamerica?#USAmerica?#what are the rules to this vocabulary#is it only something people outside the us say because the us is weird or because its a āeverywhere but usā word#like the metric system#though the metric system is encouraged#hm.#all /silly btw

Hornet at Herrah's Altar ⢠Dec. 2023
#p#composition#sonnet#archive#hornet#hollow knight#baby's first metrical break...what do we think.........#local poet is shocked to learn it has improved in the last 2 years despite writing very little. more at whatever time it wakes up#if you were there for my first hornet sonnet this is a rewrite of it that's actually good š«¶#I've always always always had fun playing with her relationship to the radiance...like she has to just. Not Dream and Not Want or else she#will fall to the infection. I guess you could make the argument that being a demigod grants her immunity but that's less interesting to me#The fight to remember her life and herself through the years of stasis while also shutting every emotion down. I think what we see of her i#the gameāesp her emotion towards the endāis the cracks in her armor that she deliberately doesn't fix because she knows one way or another#all of this will end. the burden is off her shoulders
