realistically, nobody uses all the units.

eg, decimeters are practically unheard of.

anyway, start measuring things around you. like your fingers, your hand, your ceiling height, that sort of thing. and then remember what those measurements feel/look like. that’ll give you something to compare other things to. you can do the same thing with volume measurements and so on.

for example, i found that one of the knuckles on one of my fingers is exactly 4cm long, so i always have that with me.

milk comes in 1L boxes, for example, so pretty much everyone knows what a liter is.

sugar and flour come in 1kg bags and that’s roughly 1 liter too

that’s how i’d say it in hungarian, except i’d drop the MB too. “egy negyvennégyes flopi”

that’s the idea, to keep peole away or at least recoup some of the costs.

she once caught a mouse without hurting it (much), brought it inside and then sat on it. just sat on the mouse. and the mouse just cowered there, sunk in her chest fur.

is this about the copper again?

my whole elementary school class visited my dad’s workplace once, cos it was cool. it had a huge anechoic chamber.

and the cantine had canada dry.

everything randomly distributed between ~/dl and ~/tmp (i dont even remember why i have both), and then i use lr to find stuff (alias lr='ls -lrth'). or find.

it’s the fastest way to get crews for your navy

yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they’re weird now. it must be liberating.

oh yes it made the noise.

vidir is similar

there’s also rename (the perl one, not the shit one). i have fond memories of renaming albums with rename 's/(\d+)/sprintf "%02d", $1/e' so they’d ls in the correct order

i rely on this in my job. if i really need it, i’ll be using it often enough that it’ll always be in ^R distance :)
