US doesn’t use imperial anymore.

They never did to begin with. US customary units descend from older English customary units. During the 19th century the British government redefined some things in some weights and measures acts and that was called the Imperial system because of the British Empire. US never used Imperial as they were happy doing their own independent shit.

US customary and Imperial units differed a bit until the 20th century. In the 30s there was an ‘industrial’ inch agreed upon, the 25.4mm as you said, but weights still differed. In the 50s there was a conference where the US, UK and some commonwealth countries agreed upon a standardised international yard and pound, the international yard being 0.9144 meters and the international pound 0.45359237 kilograms, defined in metric as you said. Liquid measures were not standardised for some reason so US and Imperial gallons still differ.

The formal definition of Fahrenheit is based on Kelvin these days.

His accent ain’t flamboyant at all.

No they’re not.

Grandma what was it like? To be on that holiday site?

It’s per se, not persay. From the latin ‘per’ meaning by and ‘sē’ meaning itself.

Never because that’s not how trademarks work.

The amount of people in general that don’t understand even the most basic shit about trademarks or how they differ from copyright and often mix up the two is staggering really.

The ‘Don’t be evil’ era was quite a long time ago now. Google’s been greedy scumbags for quite some time now so this really isn’t that unexpected.

But what the real cost to Google is here is that they have evaporated my loyalty and good will. I now see them as a company that will squeeze me when they know they can get away with it, and that my loyalty and being an early adopter means nothing to them.

You really expected more from Google?

It annoys me when people leave a review because what they bought arrived damaged. That’s a review on the shitty delivery, not on the item itself. Just send it back and get a replacement.

Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

I haven’t checked that place out for a while. Looks like there’s a small handful of other roms people have ported to my model so I’ll give them a look over. Might be able to extend the life of this thing for a bit longer. Cheers!

Yeah you vastly over estimate how much I can afford lol. I’ve had this cheap ass piece of shit for almost three years now. I’ll get another cheap ass piece of shit at the end of this year or maybe next. You really gotta make shit last when you’re perpetually broke.

The top of the range phone camera megapixel and ai processing arms race is just pure masturbation.

I only ever buy some cheap shit when my last shit bucket phone starts packing in and hasn’t received a security update in a while. I try to drag it out as long as I can but the budget phone makers seem to be getting more scummy and supporting their phones for shorter periods of time. For the first time in my life I’m getting tempted to buy an apple product.

As to why people buy new every year; from the adverts it all seems to be about more megapixels and ai image processing as phone makers rarely ever seem to boast about anything else anymore, apart from the occasional gimmick. Dunno why anyone needs an extra billion or so megapixels, especially as phone lenses are kinda shit in general.

Lineage isn’t compatible with every phone. My shitty realme has no images there. It always depends on if there’s someone willing to actually make images for specific phones.

Lesson here is to never buy a realme.

Is this a trick to get lurkers to post? lol I post occasionally but mostly lurk

You’re surprised that most people use the free option that requires less hassle to get going?

Korobeiniki is a folk song that’s older than the Soviet Union. The Red Army Choir played a lot of Russian folk music.
