6'6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5'1" tall.
When I was growing up my mom would always say "the tall girls are going to love you!" Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.
I am 5'5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.
How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?
Autism and being abused as a child will fuck you up. Mind you I have more while by myself and with friends its just all of these instances were at work and well I am nothing but business, and part of business is telling HR that I put in time off as a courteous and I wasnt fucken asking.
Trait alexithymia for the win
so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.
For anyone else using reasonable units that's 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.
for everyone who actually uses metric, that's 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)
That's what I said.
nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.
4channers who blame their lack of muff action on their diminutive height are.
No, but it doesn't matter. I just provided the exact measurements because I was copy pasting anyways.
When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that's a hundred times more precise.
It's more precise and took no extra effort. 🤷
Why is it bothering you so much?
It's not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.
A man says he's 6'6". Sure. If he's anywhere between 6'5½" and 6'6½", that's true.
You say he's 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it's not true, and if it is, it won't be for long, because the human body isn't nearly that consistent from breath to breath.
The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.
The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn't.
This is exactly right. 👏🏼
It really doesn't though.
yeah and i said it better :)
If you actually contributed by providing the information to begin with I would agree.
if you just didnt add the decimals i wouldn't have done it better. So, i would concur there as well.
Are you just being stubborn, or do you really still not understand why adding too many decimal places / significant figures is wrong?
I just copy pasted. Deal with it.
Sounds like you know you were wrong but are just being stubborn.
that's too many significant figures
Nah.
I'm impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉
