About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that's about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit.

"Converting" joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

I don't see how your example is 'funny'. That's what you expect to get. -5^2^ is -25. (-5)^2^ = 25.

(This doesn't consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn't attribute this picture, I'll edit my comment.

Maybe if they actually made them better compared to the then competition, this could've turned out differently; mind you, it would still be as bad, because Microsoft, but hey, different nonetheless.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

pigs in plural, yes. How many streaming services are there now? I lost track a couple of years ago.

I truly wonder why. I mean, others just package a python installation, but Microsoft wants to use the cloud. Very peculiar.

Forget the moon, the USSR put probes on Venus (the Venera missions).

I wonder what the numbers are for the rest of the world. it seems to me that Androids are much more popular at the far reaches of the EU e.g.
