Thank you so much for setting this up for us and making it a great instance to be on!

Wishing you the best in taking a rest, and I think we all appreciate your honesty and decent human-ness - that you’ve neither given up and sent the thing down in flames, nor turned power-crazed and angry to deal with it all.

Cheers!

And in return, YouTube serves video and pays creators.

Is that why they voted in Trump instead?

All right, but we’re doing the study on rats as per usual and extrapolating to humans. Please turn up at the lab Monday 9am sharp.

Like the steak in the restaurant at the end of the universe?

Can you measure something like, D-C–cup milk since the total volume isn’t all milk?

I think they just mean base 12. So “10” isn’t ten, it’s 1 * 12¹ + 0 * 12⁰; xyz is x * 12² + y * 12¹ + z * 12⁰.

Like sixteen in hex is 10 (commonly written 0x10, to differentiate it from decimal 10)

Edit: oof, my client is trying to be clever with the mathematical writing and bungling it, I’ll try to fix… Hmm, hope that makes it better not worse

You mean base 12.

Oh dear. Usually the chair is so big it stands way above the floor.

Also what about the table? Should that still be larger than the chair?

It’s not quantum any more. It was observed by your cat.

Yeah but we don’t mention that when we’re making fun of Americans.

Secretly they all want to be dominated by a powerful monarch.

Build an entire empire just to troll your own offshoots.

Dost thou indeed?

But square inches, because come on.

I’ve also learnt to point with my lips. It’s pretty handy.

Cont on finger sections or knuckles, like some cultures do. Gives you 12 on one hand, using the thumb to count.

Or 16 if you choose your reference points right.

Measure in ml if it’s outside, or g if it’s in the baby, I think.

But probably not calculating trigonometry and calculus when juggling, right?

Fair point. I suppose internally I meant “in fact” as a shorthand for, “here’s an interesting thing that complements or counters what we were talking about,” and “I heard” to qualify my (lack of) certainty, without going into detail about where I got the information and quite how trustworthy it might or might not be. (Incidentally, it was on QI.)

Thanks for the source :-)
