Actually when I lived off grid for 80 years, we used 7 AAA batteries on a rotation and recharged them by rubbing them on our wool sweaters, so those guys are totally right.

Yes, but they only deliver in s radius of 3 villages anyways. You can learn to navigate that turf quite quickly, I bet.

They still do that here. Not every Dönerladen has an app, only chains have dedicated apps. Some shops have websites with an online order possibility, but it's mostly calling.

Es sind einfach zwei unterschiedliche System, nicht ein Schreibfehler oder überhaupt ein Fehler. (s. dieses Video)

Auch der Rest der Welt ist sich da nicht einig. Die spanischsprachige Welt benutzt das do-re-mi-System und in Indien ist das Verständnis von Musik und Tonleitern sowieso ganz anders.

Mit anderer Stimmung meinst du wahrscheinlich die Klarinette. Damit kenne ich mich nicht so gut aus, aber es gibt eine deutsche Klarinette und eine französische, nicht eine Rest-der-Welt Klarinette. Die sind auch in unterschiedlichen Ländern verschieden beliebt und es gibt auch Engländer, die deutsche Klarinette spielen.

I would even say, it reads as pounds times seconds times inch

Or pikoseconds times inch

Or pikoseconds times square root of -1 but now I'm being silly

Well, I don't have to get used to it, but some people seam to handle it well.

You attract the customers you advertise to, I guess.

Thanks, friend :)

I know how it comes to be, I just think it's stupid.

For example, kW times h is not the same as kW per hour. That's why kWh means kilowatt times hour.

If I wrote ms to denote meters per second that would create massive confusion.

I guess you're talking about psi.

(No offense to you, dear Buffaloaf, I just looked it up and thought I might share).

For everyone of the 191 non-USA countries, 10 psi is 0,69 bar or 690 hPa. That's pretty low.

By the way, why is psi written in such a weird way? It should be lbs/ in^2

Command line isn't actually bad UI for professionals. It's way faster than using a mouse.

Yep. And bottom left is dandelion alert.

In Diesel engines it shows that the coils are heating up. They are the equivalent of spark plugs in a benzene/gasoline engine.
