@_DinoReborn @poginstein @Ameriking83 I have taken pictures that I thought looked shopped even though I pressed the shutter haha. With just the right combo of aperture, focal length, and flash or direct sun it is possible to separate a subject from a distant background in a way that looks very unnatural

the Beatles are a band where three guys have the world’s most normal names and one guy has a name you absolutely never hear and somehow he’s not even the main guy

@RogueCenturion It's funny isn't it that the US chose to maintain the older tradition Despite it being a British tradition

The funny thing about Americans using the month-day-year format is that they got it from the British American colonists used the British format and unlike the UK which later switched to day-month-year to align with Europe, the US maintained the older tradition It is essentially a cultural holdover that became deeply embedded in US bureaucratic systems

@adrusi @freeman_mental Yet the first mineral rush in the US was the lead rush of 1820 or so, there is a city near me named Galena, and my state flag has a pile of lead bars on it. Lead absolutely was mined for its own sake.

@freeman_mental theres basically no such thing as a lead mine. lead is a byproduct if processing other ores. silver has a particularly high lead yield

@astroFunkhouser @martinmbauer Well it started quite sensibly as first class, second class, etc down to sixth class. Now that we have telescopes we extended the system and it makes less sense. The scale being inverted isn't really weird—wire gauge, pH, shotgun gauge, photographic f stops, etc all do it.

@setbri @martinmbauer The magnitude systems not only have arbitrary reference scales but counterintuitively indicate increasing luminosity/brightness with decreasing magnitude. If that is "human" then perhaps it explains why I dont like very many people 😉

The worst unit is decibel: It isn't even a unit, isn't defined consistently across fields, hides an arbitrary reference scale and is named after Alexander Bell but spelled 'bel'
Aaron Bergman 🔍 ⏸️ (in that order)@AaronBergman18

milli-ampere*hours (mAh, what you see on charging banks) is a serious contender for worst unit of all time. It is almost never useful and serves exclusively to obscure rather than clarify It is NOT an amount of energy

A pet peeve I have with mnemonic devices is when the rhyme is detached from the message, if that makes sense. Like this could easily be misremembered as "red on yellow, safe fellow, red on black kills jack" A good example is the "red sky in morning, sailors take warning" one
Alex G@AlexG1131063

@JFreerz Red on yellow kill a fellow! Red on black friend of jack! You have a kill a fellow in your hand sir...

@GeoGDF01 @BellikOzan Well obviously whatever the max weight is it can't include the driver or safety equipment. They should probably have a standardized weight for all that, and maybe make the lighter drivers carry ballast.

@BellikOzan @setbri Risk you end up like Group B and the F1 driver impacts of… 2008-2010 where there was dangerous practice in drivers shedding water weight. Pull a LMP style with min weight, allowances for driver weight and ballast to not penalize a tall guy like Mark Webber…

Pare it down to 5 rules, and I'll watch: 1. Common fuel (I vote either 87 octane or E100) & common amount available for use for a given race 2. No consumables except fuel; water and oil should measure at least 99% of what you started out with at the beginning of the race. 3. Max weight 4. Peak noise limit 5. Road legal tires

@setbri @whoismrzero @cowlonfull Yep, from Madison. They funded naming rights on the UW state children's hospital and the big Madison golf tourney as well. They do a lot of nice things for the state relative to a lot of companies, but you're still never going to get people to identify with an insurance company.

Any stadium that is named after a corporation loses its iconic status. I think we all have too much dignity to pretend “crypto dot com arena” is an iconic piece of American sports history
Carrington Harrison@cdotharrison

This is what I think the iconic stadium list is (pro stadiums only) Wrigley Field Fenway Park Dodgers Stadium Madison Square Garden Staples Center Lambeau Field AT&T Stadium I don’t know what to do with Yankee Stadium tbh.

@setbri @whoismrzero @cowlonfull Yeah. You can make the argument that it's still one of the state's best-known companies, but insurance has nothing to do with the culture of the state or city. Whereas Miller (and beer in general) is an obvious behemoth in that regard. One word is helpful too (Staples, Wrigley)

@CarlPaulus Plenty of ways to remove the bias from gerrymandering. Give a computer a map of all the census tracts in an area, the population of each (no race/party aff), the number of districts desired, and a single recursive mathematical formula, and you will get the same map *every time.*

@cowlonfull I think it depends on if the corporation is an old established company on its own and if they are strongly associated with that team or city. A Coca-Cola Field might seem tacky in other places but would seem natural and at home in Atlanta.

Very ugly vehicle BUT I started to appreciate it more as a piece of design when I learned that its primary specification constraint was being able to be equally safely and comfortably driven by both 95th percentile height men (6'4") and 5th percentile height women (4'10")
