The British one wouldn’t be the best choice. Not exactly powerful…

When Canada abolished the penny I was advocating for renaming our currency the pound, just so we could divide it up into 20 shillings. Each shilling would of course still be 5¢.

There will be holdouts. In my part of Canada all the rural roads are laid out in a 1 mile x 2 mile grid. Nobody every says a farm is 3.2km away. It’s 2 miles. Even changing all the road signs is cheaper than moving roads to make more sense in the metric system.

Otherwise for long-ish distances we’re completely metric.

It’s weirder when you look at Canada vs USA. Mileage here is usually written L/100km, but back in the day the cars were exactly the same but the mileage in Canada was better because the the US gallon is only ~83% the size of a proper gallon.

It’s been Canada’s official standard for decades. It’s just starting to hit the general population though.

Can’t be, it hasn’t completely disintegrated yet.

Looks like what happens when a house hippo grows up.

It’s the lead lining.

My car turns off cruise control if you look away from the road for any length of time.

But does “panic” also mean “panic” in Polish?

Looks like the instances that have defederated the most other instances, rather than been defederated by the most.

Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.

But… how’d you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?

Not really. Modern games will claim to be free to play, with many parts of the game hidden behind microtransactions, or they’ll be paid with the option to buy more.

Doom never claimed to be free to play. It was always 100% up front that the shareware version wasn’t much more than a playable demo. The paid version of Doom was the complete game.

I think you mean “dyaaadddddd…”

Yep, at least in Canada “pavement” is either a sealed asphalt road surface, or the walking path in a garden or public park. Never the footpath on the side of a road, that’s a sidewalk or footpath.

A more common term for them here is “brodozer”. A portmanteau of “bro” and “bulldozer”.

And your instance. They update at different rates.

Come to Canada, most of our existing stuff is robertson, and only the really cheap new stuff isn’t.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a philips or slotted deck screw. I have and have purchased many boxes of these things and they’ve always been nearly 100% Robertson. Is this a US thing?

I like to measure the area of rooms in foot-metres. Square foot-metres is a great unit for volume.

Today I unironically described the length of something as “about 1 centimetre less than a foot”.

Now, you could get around it by calling someone “a female person” - except that we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”.

I’m going to nitpick a touch. “Female person” includes girls. “Women” ecludes them.
