Just poking some fun because they’re so prolific, not complaining!

At least they can. So bummed stock android no longer has the option :(

As much as hPa is legitimate, in English speaking contexts I wish we kept to 10^3 prefixes. (Pa, kPa, MPa, GPa etc).

Like how we keep to nm, μm, mm, m, km. Mostly.

Or if one really must, atmospheres. Other units are just more of a pain to convert between, like yeah, it’s metric, so it’s not THAT hard, but just nicer in my opinion if it’s consistent intervals.

Alas, at least I very rarely need to deal with PSI. Only with valve manufacturers using imperial valve coefficients (Cv values), grumble, grumble. They don’t even include the units usually, which to me is heresy. The units are US gallons/min of water at 60 °F per pressure drop of 1 PSI. Like, US engineers have this really stupid habit of not including units in constants and coefficients in some contexts, drives me up the wall.

Thanks for being the convenient recipient of this metric engineer’s unit rant.

Close up on face and phone, would be my guess on how to easily resolve this while keeping the same tone

A stupid design in that case too, though. Make people need to sit in specific seats for their handedness… Smort

My work laptop’s graphics card maxes out at 4. I’m pretty sad about it.

Oh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/

I think in both cases (modern China, and the USSR), there is a genuine feeling/desire towards the ideals.

In both cases though, it is co-opted for propaganda purposes, and falls pretty flat when inequality is off the charts.

Which is a shame, if you have socialist beliefs

I wish them the best though, and hope they figure things out to bring outcomes more in line with the ideals.

I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth

Can’t say I’m terribly creative, the only community I mod I just copied when migrating from Reddit:

So in terms of inventing one from scratch, I dunno haha

For names (suggestions/spitballing) a play on words with the political compass?

I appreciate this so much, thank you for filling those blanks

Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

It’s hard finding people with this opinion, sadly. I’m with you on this one comrade

Eh, there’s a notional aspiration to socialism at least, which is more than can be said about the US sphere of countries.

In practice though? Yeah, China is hyper-captialist, without much of the social security present in wealthier countries.

Why Leftist get a hard-on for the former USSR, Russia and China, or frankly any country, is beyond me.

There are positive and negative outcomes in line or against socialist ideals everywhere (I think people are too black and white about China in both directions personally)

I just do not understand simping for any country, just because they are “socialist”.

Pretty sure all platforms support no break space, just that you have to go copy the unicode character if you don’t have a shortcut for it

It’s U+00A0

My main point was leaving space between values and units. And know many of us have no choice but to use MS at work haha

I better not catch you not leaving space between your values and units no matter the writing software

I like go in add spaces between the value and the unit in documents other people have prepared, when they write 50°C or something. The standard says there should be a space: 50 °C

Non-breaking spaces, even better in my opinion 😘👌

(Alt+0,1,6,0 on the numpad for all my homies using Windows at work)

Don’t get me started on people using O’s with super script to get degrees, drives me nuts. (Alt+2,4,8, or find it in the MS Word symbols menu ffs)

We’re gonna see our first trillionaire within a decade aren’t we.

Even more annoying, because there’s a bunch of software with bad localisation where we sane DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY.MM.DD users are forced to see the abomination that is MM/DD/YYY and it leads to errors.

I know this is a joke, but could help myself: you can’t always just cancel units like this.

It’s more like 0.007 m³(fuel burned) / 100,000 m(travelled)

Can’t really cancel those.
