Time to start pulling on them bootstraps.

Just another 20 years…

At what point does the court break out a physical gag? I hope it’s soon.

It’s a Google problem, Firfox’s built in privacy tools are working as intended.

That saves me a shitload on a vasectomy.

Isn’t weird we see less and less Trick or Treaters every year?

Plenty of unemployed AI ethics folks around to ask.

Not if the news media has anything to say about it! More at 11.

Maybe don’t invest in pyramid schemes?

How else am I going to learn the finer points of the ISO standard on floating point data?

If you’re looking for an app Tasty is fairly good.

The more precisely you can count time, the more precisely and finely you can measure other things. This not only applies to fast phenomenon. It can also be used for syncing up multiple measurements made in different places; like that image of a black hole we got a couple of years ago.

It’s another step in getting a finer resolution on the universe.

Tl;Dr They are trying to make a better atomic clock that could provide a more precise definition of a second then we currently have.

This just in: It appears that while Laying in State, the deceased senator was seen rising from her coffin and returning to her seat. Sources in her office say this is a sign she has successfully completed her ritual to transform herself into a Lich.

I’ve thought a lot about this, and I’d like to say: “Reddit can kiss my entire ass.”

Do you have any idea how much that would hurt!?

Guess what? You get to reinvent modern metrology!

I’d start with making a surface plate using Whitworth’s 3 plate method.

Next, make a perfectly square block, pick two opposing faces of that block, that’s your unit of length. Use your surface plate to make more and measure things against it.

If you’re really smart you would have made that block out of some sort of homogeneous material like steel and made it a perfect cube, not just perfectly square. That’s going to be your prototype weight.

Temperature is the easy one, make a thermometer. Mark where the liquid is at based on two different repeatability phenomenons. Subdivide as desired. Someone will come up with a “better” way later.

Time is another easy one, just build a pendulum and start counting.

That sould get you through most of the neo-industrial revolution.

The rest of the base units will come later for now focus on building a lathe.

I don’t think this isgoing to have much success, anyone that volunteers for this is braindead already

Sorry, not sorry.

Do it, you cuck.
