"pAiN pOiNtS"

these are not knots in muscles they are severe institutional shortcomings and failings that are draining us all, making us want to jump ship, hazardous, and in some cases even making the company lose profit but you fuckheads just want to write down pAiN pOiNtS and jerk yourselves and the shareholders off instead of actually doing ANYTHING MEANINGFUL

Philly is a grid system but you have to drive in wild spaghetti paths anyway to avoid all the potholes, construction debris, drunk college kids, double parked vans, the police, sinkholes, mudslides, children on bicycles who fear nothing on this earthly plane, discarded mattresses, spontaneous otherdimensional vortexes, concrete rubble piles, etc.

It's not the strawberries they love. It's the fact that they've trained their bumbling ape to hand deliver the little red triangles directly to them.

however the previous owners are much more likely to pay a junk company to haul it to a landfill than they are to try to sell it

haven't been into Minecraft YouTube (or any YouTube really) for a year or so, was unaware he wasn't active

i know he's some kind of engineer irl so it may just be work keeping him busy. bummer either way

 

Think "you wake up in the woods naked," Dr. Stone-style tech reset. How could humans acquire a 1-gram weight, a centimeter ruler, an HH:MM:SS timekeeping device, etc. starting with natural resources?

My best guess was something involving calibrating a mercury thermometer (after spending years developing glassblowing and finding mercury, lol) using boiling water at sea level to mark 100 ° C and then maybe Fahrenheit's dumb ice ammonium chloride brine to mark -17.7778 ° C, then figuring out how far apart they should be in millimeters on the thermometer (er, somehow). I can already think of several confounding variables with that though, most notably atmospheric pressure.

I feel like the most important thing to get would be a length measurement since you can then get a 1 gram mass from a cubic centimeter of distilled water.

That's as far as I got with this thought experiment before deciding to ask the internet. I actually asked on Reddit a while back but never got any responses.
