We use liters for soft drinks and liquor, but gallons for fuel, milk, and water. For recipes we use fluid ounces or cups since gallons are kind of a large for that.
It’s actually a mixed system, similar to the UK but with less metric in the mix.

My partner had one until about a year ago when it broke irreversibly.
They’re still making payments on it and the thing was already on its third screen when it died. They’re cool and I think the idea is good, but I think the whole “bendable screen” idea is fundamentally flawed for smartphones.
To be clear, the proton bridge is supposed to be accessed via localhost. Connecting via IMAP over a network connection is less secure.
That just means they need a sex room to experiment in.
Methinks this is BS, I got 7/11 and I’m in my twenties.
It would have been 9, but even in the bad old days I’ve never known a anywhere it was acceptable to just throw little on the floor in a business, regardless of whether it was a cigarette butt or not.
Cars are expensive and necessary in areas without good public transit (read: basically everywhere except a couple of areas in specific cities). Most of us don’t have a year’s salary just sitting in the bank, especially when you’re young.
If you need a car to get to work, you’ll pay what you have to because the alternative is no job which means no home, no healthcare, and no food.
They eat crops and are considered a disease vector here. They can also damage your home by trying to build a nest inside a wall or something.
The little bastards are still so ugly they’re cute though.
Federation means that instead of one central server like Facebook or google, the service relies on several interoperable servers and you can pick which one you want to sign up with and use.
Email and lemmy are federated. If you want to use email, you can sign up for an account on one of many different servers run by other people or you can even host your own email server. No matter which you choose, you can always email another user regardless of where their account it.
How else would you pretend to be federated besides saying you’re federated when you aren’t?
Apologies, I guess my terminology is incorrect.
What I meant is that I’ve seen people written up for vaping ~2 feet too close to the back door or showing up <5 minutes late or any number of other frivolous things in hopes of avoiding unemployment payments.
Do you have to pay unemployment if they’re fired with cause? Because I’ve definitely seen (and experienced) constructive dismissal over some very petty things.
Sure, butterfly a chicken breast and fry it over high heat. Or eat cheese. Or make succotash, or lentil soup.
All of our cultural defaults for breakfast are terrible for us anyways, we need to eat other things regardless.
I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don’t care for most other types of “easy” egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.
Tbh I don’t understand why people don’t just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.
The US military has actually been short on recruits for a long time now due to the obesity epidemic.
I mean we could stop maintaining an invasion force in basically every corner of the globe simultaneously, but we aren’t filthy communists or whatever.
I’m very surprised the top answer isn’t pocketbook. Their entire business model is reworking Chinese e ink tablets to make them GDPR compliant and privacy respecting. I’d recommend the pocketbook verse pro if you want a lit screen and USB C, but they have a cheaper model without those features.
Here is a good spec comparison table for ereaders in general. I’d point out basically all e-readers have great battery life.
Hot take, but your local community matters infinitely more than the construction of your house. Build somewhere you have neighbors yoh get along with who will stick their neck out for you.
That being said, you can do the following:
Plant/build near large trees to cover from satellite/aerial photography
run conduit throughout so you don’t have to rely on wireless networking
install security cameras that feed somewhere local (I’m assuming nobody who breaks into your house gives enough of a shit to fins and destroy your recordings)
buy actually good locks, doors, and doorframes. Make sure you’re aware of what to expect from these, they wont actually keep someone out, they just make entrance louder and slightly more cumbersome.
build a secret sex room for you and your spouse. This is less of a privacy asset, and more just a fun thing to do.
Our local PD literally have access to stingrays, cellbrite/Pegasus (I don’t actually know which one they pay for) and military weaponry. In the suburbs, they have armored vehicles as well (tanks and APCs, not armored swat trucks).
Obviously it varies by where you live because different departments will have different levels of funding and will ask for different toys from the feds, but you’d be surprised how comically over equipped many PDs are.
The BBC, AP, and Reuters are a good place to start.
I like Erin in the Morning, Propublica, and Bellingcat as well, but they require additional work to parse sometimes.
If OP was trying to secure themselves against interest from conventional state actor like a large intelligence service, I’d say they probably need to throw their phone in a woodchipper and start hitchhiking to the nearest professional spy training program.
More realistic concerns that an ordinary person probably has are casual mass surveillance and local police fuckery. Random AOSP Roms are not sufficient to handle either of those threats.
Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.
