Seriously, I read the first bit and just thought - if people didn't want to accept calls they'll just ignore it or put the phone on silent. Don't overthink basic social interaction!

What is NT?

The only NT I know is Windows NT (I'm old)

but was probably just a VC bid... Funny how that stuff never materalizes.

Your own comment has the answer

Everyone can visualize volume and distance really well in their own head. Doesn't mean they're right. Try it for yourself, maybe you're gifted?

We just aren't really taught to visualize our weights and measures, it's why newscasters keep saying shit like "8 Olympic swimming pools!" Or "the size of three football fields"

This really isn't an American thing - it's just human, we can't really visualize dimensions accurately unless we have a good reference. Some may measure the Olympic swimming pool in feet others in meters, but the effect is the same.

I saw that too, and many of them claimed they learn both Metric and Imperial British systems and convert between them all the time. So this stood out now:

For the most part, we generally only use pounds, feet, miles. Everything else is a mystery. Even ounces, cups and gallons are some fucking magical mystery. Just follow the recipe.

I'm from a country that has salty relations with China and I think it's good they're embracing EVs. It will push my own country harder to catch up and as long as it's adopted more sustainability than ICE it's good for the planet as a whole.

but shouldn’t an employee be aware of this shit

It's a different post/thread - you can tell from the time lines with the chimp one being made in 2018. However, no idea what the context of that was, and I'm not going to use Xitter to find out.

!RemindMe 30 days

I used to think like this too, but with Reddit Apps moving over to Lemmy I find real potential and usability here. It won't happen overnight, but the chances are not nil.

I'd imagine a tech company would find it more interesting, it has a lot of user generated content to feed AI training (admittedly there is a lot of bot content, but they'd have tools to detect humans I guess?)
