    Please spell and punctuate correctly, and don’t use “common use” as an excuse to hide your egotistical unwillingness to learn.

    Vehicle mileage is an antiquated and terrible metric for tracking vehicle health. Engine hours and heat cycles are more accurate.

    • Adding fries to a dish in a (good) restaurant means you didn’t make a complete dish and just added the fries to add carbs/fill people.

    • On that same note: just a piece of meat (steak, spareribs or smth like that) is not a full meal (and don’t you start about adding fries and a salad)

    • a restaurant is only as good as its vegetarian dishes (some exceptions apply, like restaurants that focus exclusively on meat)

    Ironically, I am not a vegetarian ;)

    Browsing a thread like this is far preferable to doomscrolling through the actual news feed on the frontpage of Lemmy/Reddit.

    I like to eat my breakfast and have my morning coffee while I scroll the internet a bit, and it always leaves me feeling worse off. But if I scroll through a bunch of weird user-written opinions that nobody is really taking seriously… far better time, left feeling much better off.

    Fractional measurements are better than decimal measurements because they allow greater representation of precision without having to do any +/- bullshit.

    For instance, if your measurements are precision to half a meter, in decimal you either have to record it to the nearest meter, imply your measurement is five times more precise than it is, or do something like “1.5 meters +/- 0.25 meters”.

    Wheras fractional measurements allow you to just put the precision as the denominator. Just don’t reduce your fractions.
