12 inches = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
22 yards = 1 chain
10 chains = 1 furlong
8 furlongs = 1 mile
3 miles = 1 league
And here is my favourite 2 dimensional unit:
1 furlong x 1 chain = 1 acre
Edit: bruh.

0°C - pretty cold
100°C - pretty hot, grab a beer with you and remember towel under your ass
100 is too much. The sweet spot is somewhere around 80.

Agreed, I just wanted to use same exact numbers as OP

Surely you can’t be serious‽

Back when I took trigonometry, they taught me positive was counterclockwise.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Another American thing maybe? Always been clockwise for me
Edit: ah duck me, trig goes the other way round, forgot, everything else is clockwise tho

Yes, and don't call the Shirley

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, if positive was clockwise in trig,
y = sin xwould have a negative slope atx = 0, which I guess Albert Sine found distasteful.(I made up Albert Sine. I don't know that there's anyone specific we can attribute the invention of trigonometric functions to. But I like to imagine him sitting at a desk scribbling right triangles by candle light and scratching his head as to how he'd go about actually calculating the sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, etc of various arbitrary values within his lifetime.)

I had to use Google Translate creatively to get this joke, but I'm delighted none the less.
