On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.

The law would probably make sure customers whose products are being bricked are counted as creditors. Ideally after employees (unpaid wages) and before investors. They may not get full refunds, but they’ll be entitled to something if it’s possible.

I like that in Fahrenheit 0 is a cold winter’s day, and 100 is a hot summer’s day.

Fahrenheit fans always say stuff like this, but it just doesn’t work. 100 isn’t too bad in that respect, but 0 is just insane. If you want it to be equivalent, 0 °F would be 0 °C. Because there’s no way that -18 °C is as cold as 38 °C is hot.

Besides that, knowing about things like snow or ice outside, whether your fridge is likely to cause some stuff to frost over, etc., or whether the thing you’re cooking has reached boiling point are all just as valid things for your day-to-day experience.

But besides all that, SI is a package deal. You use Fahrenheit and now you’ve got to redefine all the other units that are derived from the Kelvin, because now you’re suddenly using Rankine.

Wow I wish Clem Jones hadn’t come along and ruined our tram network. Apparently Brisbane would today have the 3rd largest tram network in the world if we’d kept it going at its peak: no additional new track laid. Instead he ripped it up and we have not one metre left, except when you occasionally see bits of it buried when they do road works…like when they expanded Gympie Rd from 6 to 8 lanes over the last year or so. Sigh.

As for hop-on trams, obviously not very accessible. If they had the ability to stop and put down a ramp for people who need it, it could be manageable, but realistically if we’d kept the track, they’d have needed to lower the floor of the trams and raise up the platforms to make for level (or at least near-level) boarding.
