PTO or asking for hour flexibility. Taking off an hour or two early/coming in late because of a dr appointment for example.

Well obviously the peanut is mind controlling me, but honestly it’s just nice to have the dang thing under control. You should give in and try it

Idk I think it’s charming

If we don’t form a popular front we lose. And over on the socialist side, I (syndicalist/mutualistish leftist) hold two left wing purity tests: equality/freedom and political pluralism.

Yeah I’m really hoping Platner is another Smedley, but I’m afraid he might not be. Giving power to someone like this is scary. Hell the only reason Smedley was able to stop the business plot is that the conspirators assumed he hadn’t changed.

In the primaries I was tentatively pro Platner. In the general I’m just pro Platner. And if he wins and his actions match his words then in 6 years I’ll be extremely pro Platner.

Hell, for all I hate Fetterman I’m still glad he didn’t lose the general, Senator Mehmet Oz would’ve been worse.

I can hope he’s a Smedley Butler type, but yeah I’m glad that wasn’t the race I had to decide on

Weird, I never would have thought of them as Baltic, I just assumed they were only native to the Gulf of Mexico

Oof he was amazing in Buffy

Did Obama kill their leader’s predecessor, wife, dad, and son?

Congrats!

Yeah and the nazis that bought farms hated actually working them. Conservatives love an aesthetic regardless of if they want the reality

Sorry we’re allowed to go so long as it’s for an approved reason, of which travel is not included.

So yeah, I can go build a well there, but I can’t take a vacation to Havana

I got to meet his mom once. Powerful woman and tireless fighter to ensure other parents don’t have to experience what she did.

It’s not the Americans, it’s the everyone else. We aren’t allowed to go to Cuba

Yeah, but that’s a really bad comparison. It’s useful for rough estimates when needed, but it’s not something we interact with often enough for it to be practical. It’s when everyday products are being sold in metric length that it will start to click. Stuff like 20cm diameter pizzas, wooden boards by the meter, a 1.8m TV, and square meterage of an apartment.

Specifically we have 2L jugs of it and individual bottles are marketed as 16.9oz (they’re 500mL). Cans are still in US customary at 12 oz (355mL). But yeah, basically every American knows how much 2L is.

In fact, I strongly suspect you could market most liquids in metric volume here (not fuel) as long as people can see them. We’re so used to 500mL and 2L. Hell just changing the standard can and the tall boy (16oz) to metric (make them 375mL and 500mL) would go a long way.

That all said, full metrication will screw with recipes, but it’ll internationalize them.

As someone like that, the key is to be affable, apologize, and ask how you know each other. It’s not a big deal, most people aren’t offended

Well you know, the full saying is “a pint’s a pound the world around, except the UK where it’s several quid, and really mostly in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar”

And Americans know a pint’s a pound.

Under an eighth you switch to grams. But in my experience the professionalization of cannabis seems to be metricating it.

The US is slowly, item by item, learning metric. We know how much a liter is from soda. We’re learning how much a gram is from drugs, and before too long something will teach us what a meter is.
