 [10:35]  Is chat working... [10:35]  Ah, yeah. [11:09]  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cr_NCF5WEAEt6Uq.jpg:large [11:11]  doing this quiz for a physics module, we unfortunately have to deal with the backward imperial system because of the fact the US and a minority amount of countries like to have their own measurement system just to be awkward [11:11]  "Water flows into a swimming pool at the rate of 12 gal/min. The pool is 16 ft wide, 32 ft long and 6.0 ft deep. How long does it take to fill? (1 U.S. gallon = 231 cubic inches)" [11:12]  like seriously why should I care about the US gallon and inches? :P [11:13]  lol [11:13]  it's like [11:13]  you could literally solve this problem in one operation if you didn't need to do seventeen awkward unit conversions along the way [11:14]  yeah if we all had just one system, you know, something that makes sense, i wonder why someone hasn't tried...oh wait they have. [11:19]  heh [11:19]  i especially like the argument that it would be too expensive to actually change to metric now [11:20]  like what, are they planning to keep imperial forever [11:20]  cause it's not going to get cheaper in 20 years [11:21]  well the mistakes that happen as a result of two measurement systems probably cost more in the long term i'd reckon anyway [11:21] <Marcel77799> It's just idiotic TBH [11:21] <Marcel77799> Per Roddy [11:22] <GuacamoleCCXR> which rocket launch failed because of a failed unit conversion again [11:22] <GuacamoleCCXR> i forget the name [11:23] <Trollocool> hoi o/ [11:24] <GuacamoleCCXR> http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/space/9909/30/mars.metric.02/ here's one [11:24] <GuacamoleCCXR> but that's not the one i meant i think [11:25] <Roddy15> i love how NASA use metric yet people still want imperial [11:28] <GuacamoleCCXR> you know [11:29] <GuacamoleCCXR> i think the only reason why people want imperial is because they don't really understand the benefit of universality that the metric system brings [11:29] <GuacamoleCCXR> because i'm reasonably sure the phrase "compatibe with SI" means nothing to most americans [11:31] <Roddy15> it should be obvious though that one system is the best way to do things :P [11:31] <Roddy15> even a little bit of education in the subject of science or maths makes it obvious [11:31] <Roddy15> unless they do have a chapter on measurement in high school science books [11:31] <Roddy15> *don't [11:33] <GuacamoleCCXR> i wouldn't be so sure that they do :p [11:35] <Roddy15> in my primary school we weren't really taught why using just metric was important but it was brought up in 1st year secondary school science :P [11:36] <Keplers> nah base 12 is best measurement [11:36] <Keplers> it's so good all the dead civilizations used it [11:37] <Keplers> we already officially switched to metric decades ago [11:37] <Keplers> none of the corporations complied was the thing [11:37] <Keplers> congrats america, corporations are above the law [11:37] <Roddy15> oh don't worry if the TTIP goes through it will be the same here [11:38] <Roddy15> they'll just sue all of the EU countries for using metric or something :P [11:38] <Keplers> kek [11:38] <Roddy15> mind you companies are above the law here already *cough*Apple*cough* [11:39] <Roddy15> but that's Ireland's fault really [11:39] <Roddy15> but don't worry Ireland will defend the US TNCs! [11:40] <Keplers> oh damn [11:40] <Keplers> there were programs in the 80s to start metrification here [11:40] <Keplers> like to the point of dual/system speed limit signs [11:40] <Keplers> ive never seen those (ym) [11:41] <Roddy15> like i get the defence of the corporation tax is for appearances so other tncs here don't get all silly and leave Dublin but i mean €13 billion unpaid taxes.... [11:42] <Roddy15> then again after seeing how the EU wants to dictate how that money will be spent i'm not sure i support getting it... [11:42] <Keplers> i would say our country wouldn't even make it with that much but then i remembered we'd probably borrow it all from china at a healthy interest [11:43] <Roddy15> is there really any point upsetting TNCs and going on a witch hunt for corporation taxes of 12.5% (rather than the hush-hush deals of less than 1%) when all the money is just going to debt repayment anyway... [11:44] <Keplers> probably [11:44] <Keplers> so you aren't in debt (troll) [11:45] <Roddy15> if the EU had said "sure get that €13 billion and use it to do whatever you want, like a one-time investment in infrastructure projects" i would support it but they want to dictate how a supposedly sovereign nation spends it's money. [11:45] <Roddy15> i really have a love-hate relationship when it comes to the EU [11:46] <Keplers> its almost as if you didnt realize it was the fourth reich [11:46] <GuacamoleCCXR> i don't really understand why deciding what the money is being used for was even part of the juridicial process concerning this case anyway [11:46] <Roddy15> like they wouldn't even let ireland repay some debt early, they actually objected to it... yet now they want this to be used for debt. make up your mind. [11:47] <GuacamoleCCXR> like it's not actually related to apple breaking the law [11:47] <Roddy15> it's the way to punish Ireland [11:47] <GuacamoleCCXR> so it just seems like an afterthought of the commission, along the lines of "oh we can actually profit from this" [11:47] <Roddy15> the small little country beat everyone else to the punch to grab TNCs and now they want the country to pay for it [11:47] <GuacamoleCCXR> seems counterproductive to me, in an era where your main domestic concern is anti-eu sentiment [11:49] <Roddy15> if it were germany, france or any other bigger nation in the EU doing this they would be allowed to spend the money as they see fit [11:50] <Roddy15> because they would just bend the rules to suit them like they always do [11:51] <GuacamoleCCXR> germany or france, actually lol [11:51] <Roddy15> like France breaking budget rules "oh don't worry France it's okay, you get a free pass" [11:52] <GuacamoleCCXR> i never understood why it was okay for merkel and hollande to discuss eu business in bilateral meetings as though they are the only two people who count [11:52] <Roddy15> Portugal and Spain then break it "WHY DID YOU BREAK THE RULES?!?!?!" [11:52] <Keplers> http://polandball.cc/comic/polish-tourism/ [11:52] <Keplers> tiny language warning like grow a spine people [11:52] <GuacamoleCCXR> admittedly spain cannot really be taken seriously atm [11:52] <GuacamoleCCXR> i mean they haven't passed a law in like a year [11:53] <Roddy15> What I find amazing is that Ireland has paid it's dues, everyone here has taken a beating and we all got on with it. [11:53] <Roddy15> So they should really give Ireland a break, it's slogged away to fix it's finances post bailout. [11:55] <Roddy15> like year in year out the deficit has come down and down, yet in May the EU were like "could you do more?" [12:08] <A Walruse> i just don't understand why people simply cannot grasp the concept of not rushing in 1 by 1 and then complaining about no backupü [12:08] <Marcel77799> Oh yeah, Led [12:09] <A Walruse> and why people can'tunderstand that you simply cannot defend in the enemy's spawn [12:13] <A Walruse> i need more people to play overwatch with [12:15] <GuacamoleCCXR> i'd probably get it if this wasn't like a terrible time for me to get into games again [12:15] <GuacamoleCCXR> i guess the sad part is [12:15] <GuacamoleCCXR> i've come to realise that from now on, there won't ever be a non-terrible time for me to do that [12:16] <A Walruse> hm [12:16] <GuacamoleCCXR> i suppose that's what being an adult is [12:16] <GuacamoleCCXR> or something [12:16] <A Walruse> yeah [12:16] <A Walruse> hey man the origins edition is 10 bucks off right now [12:17] <A Walruse> which is still not a good deal but whatever [12:18] <GuacamoleCCXR> what's the benefit of the origins edition anyway [12:18] <GuacamoleCCXR> other than a bunch of perks for other blizzard games i don't have [12:19] <A Walruse> like, 5 skins or smth you can't get otherwise [12:20] <A Walruse> https://67.media.tumblr.com/1864465abf28cf46c6f67566083d9397/tumblr_ocmndvnacQ1ugt2xio1_500.jpg [12:21] <GuacamoleCCXR> heh [12:24] <A Walruse> yo you know some good free hip hop sample packs [12:25] <A Walruse> i lost all my stuff back when i had that hard drive crash [12:25] <GuacamoleCCXR> uh [12:25] <GuacamoleCCXR> not specifically hip hop i don't think [12:26] <A Walruse> eh i suppose anything works [12:26] <GuacamoleCCXR> i mean lately i've mostly just downloaded like foley crap and glitch one shots [12:27] <GuacamoleCCXR> because that's stuff that i can't effectively do myself [12:27] <GuacamoleCCXR> https://xore.bandcamp.com/album/samplepack-rsamples-volume-0 like these are pretty rad but probably not what you're looking for [12:28] <Trollocool> @Ale Got my PM?
