2·1 day agoYou know what? This is completely on me. I put words in your mouth by saying that C is just as reasonable as m, l, and g, but at no point did you voice support one way or the other. For all I know, your arguments across the spectrum may be based on absolute values. Perhaps you prefer measurements for time and distance based on the hyperfine transition of hydrogen, and weight based on atomic mass.
I was pushing the rationale that arguing for metric units, which are based on freshwater at sea level, but against C, which is also based on (the perceived states of) freshwater at sea level, is an inconsistent argument. But, once again, you didn’t push that narrative; I made assumptions and attributed that narrative to you.

1·2 days agoI can’t be certain that this is the exact reason, but I believe it’s because metric units are based on measurements of fresh water at sea level. 1 kg = 1 litre = 1 m³ of fresh water at sea level. If fresh water at sea level has been used to standardize everything else, then why wouldn’t you use it as the standard to calibrate a scale of 0 (least water movement) to 100 (most water movement)?
The problem with using K back when ⁰C were being standardized is that it’s really really difficult to get your hands on some absolute zero. Also, since we generally use ⁰C to measure things here on Earth, I’d argue that the basis for C is just as arbitrary as the basis for metric. I think the equivalent of arguing for K over C would be to argue for light years or astronomical units over kilometres.

Yeah, if that were the case, SRK and Karina Kapoor wouldn’t have had all those skin whitening billboards.
And? No.
Or? Yes.
Nuke: might take me a while, but I could call some people. I’d probably fail.
Huge penis: gimme about 10 minutes to drive to the nearby adult store, and definitely. I wouldn’t even have to pay for it, just throw it across the store and never go back.
Confidence: if you mean launch as in to displace rapidly, I do that approximately 3 seconds after every time I feel confident.
Oh, yes. Well then, sorry to crash your meeting.

“Affordability” has gotten so bad in the United States healthcare that autocorrect won’t even let us use it in the same sentence as any procedures!
Some of my laughter from your comment is embarrassment, but it’s mostly because that’s a fucking hilarious thing to imagine the one proctologist I know saying that.

Damn, I commented the exact same thing 5 hours after you
