They redefined it a few years ago to base all units on some objectively measurable natural constant. Because that stick of metal might still decay or warp or something and you don’t always want to travel to France when you want to know the length of a meter. Much easier to measure the atoms and light you have on hand.

Isn’t the cupcake defined by being in a cup? So I’d say a muffin is also a cupcake.

There’s a type of pea which is called “Kiechererbse” in German. “Erbse” is the German word for pea. And “Kiecher” is the old German word for pea.

That’s one of the things you often get at petting zoos to feed the animals.

Edit: It’s dried corn.

Germany

I’ve been off work for three or four years now. Long Covid is a bitch. The paperwork was monstrous but now me and my wife get paid by a combination of the state’s pension, health insurance so my wife gets paid for caring for me and my unable-to-work (can’t think of the proper name) insurance.

But usually I’d get 26 to 30 vacation days per year.

Obligatory xkcd.

Yeah. The first one was about surviving a flight accident. The second one about surviving this mass crash.

You got me!

I just have insurance for that. If I need a lawyer I can call them and they refer me to one.

There are community gardens. They would probably be the best address for something like this.

The historical precedent is the rise of Nazi Germany during the 1920s and 1930s. You should now be somewhere in the early 1930s.

I think we experience quantum immortality. There could have been several world ending events in the last ~20 years. But since we can only observe what we survive our reality becomes increasingly more unlikely.

So while the world might be getting worse and worse it will just skid past the really bad events for most people.

Of course, if we hadn’t shot Harambe we would be in the best timeline.

Theoretically this should still be available somewhere in the edit history.

Germany once had a minister of defence with a ridiculous number of first names. I think 12 names or so. Then one guy kept editing in another into Wikipedia. During the edit war where people were deleting the extra name and he was putting it back in some journalist used Wikipedia as a source for the names and they copied the fake one down. So now the guy had a source he could point to to win the edit war.

I think it took several months until this was resolved.

I mean, that depends on the watch and could be exactly how it works.

Depends.

My desktop gets powered off because I don’t use it often and it sucks a lot of energy and is loud.

My Steam Deck gets suspended when I’m not using it because that’s usually in the middle of a game and I don’t want to hear the game sounds all the time or accidentally do something.

My laptop is running 24/7. At night I use it to listen to science videos to help me sleep. And in the day I watch stupid YouTube videos to help me cope with life.

I only played the game. I loved it. It’s regularly on sale at GOG.

Wait, does Disnep want to do the New Jedi Order? Or do you think OG fans think it’s bad?

I actually loved it. Was something new and not the same old Imperial Warlord with a Superweapon shtick. Guess why I didn’t like The Force Awakens.

Just the need to go in general.

Shitting. It stinks. It’s shit. It’s tedious.

Let me live in a Star Trek utopia where they can teleport your shit right out of your colon.
