“Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”
Not
“Can you pass me the bag of Legos”
If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”
Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.
It’s not because Lego is already pural
“I have many Lego blocks”
Not
“I have many Lego”
Like fishes
Good take
I wouldn’t even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads
I’m not in the market for a new car. I don’t need car ads.
But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I’ve been eyeing would be nice.
Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.
If ads were helpful they wouldn’t be annoying
Yeah the official term genocide was specifically crafted to avoid including Joseph Stalin. Sure.

Athiest Joseph Stalin performed mass killing of his own people
No Stalin was an athiest and he caused mass genocide.
Google says it could be 20+ million. Anyways, how many he killed isn’t the point.
He killed people because they were in opposition
Yeah he killed them for non-religious reasons. Religion didn’t play a part in the mass genocide.
Stalin wasn’t religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.
He killed what, 6+ million people?
It’s a suicide cord. Works great for generators
If this was alway true UPS and FedEx wouldn’t exist
Did apple make their own screens during that time?
Heard apple doesn’t make them and just read that Samsung is going to supply 2/3 of the OLED screens for the iPhone 14.
Maybe apple wanted to make their phones bigger, but they had limitations.
If you have contracts and stuff getting 3rd party screens, you can’t just switch so quickly.
Apple is better to play it off that they don’t want to rather than can’t. You don’t want to be a company that can’t.
Eh, I think the problem is the customers just take what apple gives them
My girlfriend loves her iPhone 13 mini. Yet when she needs a new phone, she will get the iPhone large whatever.
They know this and don’t care to please the small portion of their fan base that want a smaller phone.
Having a mini line is just an extra cost to them and apple cuts all the costs they can to maximize profit. Not to please their consumers.
Celcius isn’t rocket science
For 99% of things it’s simply reading a thermometer or typing in numbers on a device to set a temperature.
Just like I would have to look up what temperature to bake my cookies, 325°F, 350°F, 400°F. I’d have to look it up to cook them in C.
Me “knowing” the system doesn’t help me. Because I have no idea what 325°F really is. That would cook my skin, no way I’m “feeling” it. All it is is just a number to me. If I had to push 325 or 163 on my oven it makes no difference to me.
When someone says I put a liter of gas in my car, I can reasonably think and know what a liter is. To me, the easiest way is that it’s half of a 2L of soda because soda is sold in metric liters, and it gives me a reference. I also know that a liter is basically 1/4 gallon.
But when you say 28°C, I have nothing to compare it to. I know 40°C is really hot, and 20°C is basically room temperature. Even that doesn’t even help me. So I guess I can deduce it’s somewhere in the middle? It’s 82°F. But I have no reference to how 28°C feels.
82°F. Is low 80’s, I know what low 80’s feels like. Easy for me to figure out the realitive temperature.
Fahrenheit and weather temperatures just line up so good at 0-100.
But if you just thought of 82°F as 82% hot you could easily get a general idea of how hot it is.
Livable temperatures are between 50°F and 100°F. Humans like it halfway between the two. ~75% hot. 65°F is a cold house, 85°F is a hot house. 99% of homes are between those two and still averages to 75°F.
1°F is smaller than 1°C.
82°F vs 83°F a normal person wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. But you know, as it approaches 85°F or 90°F it’s definitely heating up.
I could say 93°F. 93% hot. That’s pretty hot. I’m sure you could wrap your mind around that.
But tell me 34°C and how am I suppose to really quickly wrap my head around that?
6° less than the hottest realistic temperature outside? I don’t even know how 1°C drop feels, much less 6°.
23°F to 41°F is -5°C to 5°C
If it’s below 40°F I’d be cautious of Ice. Once again, it doesn’t matter that water freezes at exactly 32°F at standard pressure.
It’s like boiling water. No one puts a thermometer in water to make sure that it hits 100°C exactly.
150°F water will scald you in a second (65°C)
140°F water will scaled you in 3 seconds (60°C)
120°F water will scaled you in 10 minutes (50°C)
+100°F water has the potential to scaled you (~40°C)
I’d rather know that +100°F water has a chance to burn me than remembering +40°C has a chance.
That’s way more important knowledge than the freezing and boiling temperatures of water at standard pressure.
Water freezes at 0°C at standard pressure, sea level.
If you are above or below, it will be different.
Saying “It’s not 0°C outside so there’s no ice on the road” is dumb. Because there could definitely be ice on the road.
You should be looking out for other things while driving. Not if the one thermometer, who knows where, is saying that it’s 0°C or not.
What’s 28° C? How can I envision in my mind what that means?
0-40 as a scale. 28 is about 3/4 between the two. So it’s towards the hotter side but how far into it?
It’s 82.4° F
Low 80s. I know exactly how low 80’s feel.
0-100 is easy to compare with %
82.4° F is 82% hot.
Humans like it around 75% hot between 50-100.
So 82° is hot but not pushing 90s
You can get a general idea of temperature very easy.
35°C with 100% humidity can be fatal to humans
46°C with 50% humidity can be fatal to humans
Humans can not survive for extended lengths at these temperatures and humidities.
Saying “40 ain’t dangerously hot” is dumb.
Even if you got rid of the 1000 roaches. You’ll always think there are a ton up there. There could be 10,000 in a couple of months after you get “rid” of the 1000.
You can physically make it impossible for a person to get in your attic. You can’t do that with roaches.
I mean, it’s been a while since I have had a cinnamon roll with raisins
But I do feel like they were tangy and not as sweet as the cinnamon roll
There are probably sweeter raisins and more sour raisins, just like grapes.
I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. Definitely wouldn’t put them in any pantries.
Fresh grapes are amazing.
Not really big on dry fruit. Haven’t really been that adventurous with that stuff though.
I think raisins in pantries is more about a random sour or texture rather than the actual raisin being bad tasting.
A cinnamon roll tastes amazing without raisins. Putting sour chewy landmines in it does not make it any better.
7+6
You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.
I’d split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head
Same thing as 7+3+3
