          It may be counterintuitive, but a bin is more likely to be down the street, than in the neighbor's yard. Because the wind will blow the bin along the open street more easily than it will force it up a curb or driveway.

          I've found my bin halfway down the street several times here in NM. I've never had it end up in the neighbor's yard.

            What is this commie 'meter'?

            Uh, it's the length a photon travels under vacuum during a time interval between two hyperfine ground states of caesium-133 divided by 299792458⁠. Duh.

              Mm science :3 I prefer to think of a meter as roughly 3 light nanoseconds

              I love the fact that imperial is legally defined in it's relation to metric btw :3. Like the US uses metric they just have to abstract it for some reason

                That’s a great point actually. I guess we can’t really trust the “trash can wind meter.” What is this world coming to?

                  Yeah, and you can get Americans to crash out over it.

                    I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

                      In my area, they use outdoor trampolines as measurement.

                                        Tbh you aren't thinking that in state 6 or 7. About the worst I had was a small 7 and, phenomenal isn't the word that comes to mind...
