Au Contraire, my clothes chair is reserved for only the cleanest laundry.

I was talking about weight vs mass

For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I’m not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.

To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don’t have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it’s used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.

Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).

Important to note that recycling some things makes sense, like metal. And recycling glass makes sense but sanitizing and reusing bottles makes alot more sense. There’s also been a push to compost as much paper product as possible since that makes way more sense than recycling paper. Our green bins now take any brown cardboard with no tape and pizza boxes.

Frankly shocked they did this even if they’ll sweep it under the rug later.

I really wish Peter Thiel was in the news more often so more Americans would become familiar with his name and how much blame he shares for the current dumpster fire

I’m convinced my mom is on the spectrum and my grandparents
