Christ, this has insane. Of course, I understand, but I also don’t. How can you go do stuff like this? Wtf.
This is the outcome of the republican strategy. the liberals are the literal antichrist and will stop at nothing to destroy America and take your kids. Fostering that mind and bombarding them with it everyday makes people do crazy things…
Not unlike religion.
More stochastic terrorism from Trump. Why can’t we just throw this asshole in an oubliette already?
Oooh, new word. Nice.
Oubliette: a dungeon with the only entrance or exit being a trap door on the ceiling.
Somebody has never seen Labyrinth!
I’ve seen some real ones in Ireland. It’s literally a door, with something like an elevator shaft behind it. That’s all. Pretty terrifying idea for a 16 year old.
They meant the movie Labyrinth.
I know. I was just adding extra info.
The FBI had been monitoring Taranto’s online activities because of his involvement in the riot, and began searching for him last Wednesday after he asserted on his YouTube livestream that he was in Gaithersburg, Maryland on a “one-way mission” and intended to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The NIST? Is this what happens when someone thinks their scale lied to them about their weight?
Furious about imperial; metric or die tryin.
That’s silly. We can have both. You don’t have to die. People like me will continue to use the one that’s based on concrete historical everyday objects and estimates, that’s more useful in daily life (though here we call that USGS, not imperial), and people like you can use the one that’s focused on round numbers and is best for big math and science calculations and maybe cooking.
Do you think people in countries that use metric units have no intuitive way of linking the units to things we use every day?
To me and anyone else who hasn’t grown up with imperial (or USGS or whatever), the units seem just as useless in daily life as metric does to you. Probably even more so, because there is no easy way to link between different units.
You have to remember those connections. Guess what a foot is based on.
I wasn’t saying each system couldn’t be used to do the others’s strong suit, just that each is better at an aspect. You can do big calculations in USGS, as well, but why would you?
Also, I’m not advocating that countries where people use metric change their system, only that they spend their time on things besides trying to change a system perfectly well suited to most purposes of the people that use it simply because it’s not theirs. When Americans come in and try to change other cultures because “our way is better,” it’s a dick move, yeah? Well, it’s not better the other way.
