I mean we use US customary and metric too, but US customary measurements aren’t always the same as Imperial.

1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces

1 British pint = 20 British fluid ounces

But wait!

1 British pint = 19.2 US fluid ounces

Would you like to know more? Probably not, but anyways: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_US_customary_measurement_systems

Because 95% of those people work with Linux, but not in it. OS X is BSD-based but close enough to make developing or supporting Linux machines simple. My entire infrastructure, thousands of servers, are all Linux, but most of the time I’m working on my Windows PC, and only occasionally do I break out my Macbook or Linux laptop. Love Linux, can’t stand Apple, and I’m meh about MS except for gaming, but Linux as a desktop/workstation OS is still years behind OS X and Windows in ease of use. That said, I do not nor would I ever run either of those in any production capacity, just Linux.

Sure, we’ll just delete some of the land in North America so everyone can live closer together.

  1. “Over one billion” - the current number is around 1.1 billion, so if my napkin math is correct that’s 1,100,000 x 0.66 = 726,000. Close enough for the girls I go with.

  2. If you’ve ever learned a foreign language, especially in primary school, one of the first things you learn are nursery rhymes. I remember my French professor singing Frère Jacques to the class on day one of college.

  3. Pretty much every country in Central and South America and a few islands in the Caribbean speak Spanish. They don’t speak the same Spanish dialect as Spain, nor do they generally speak the same dialect as countries that border them. Languages evolve, and language alone doesn’t typically inform things like nursery rhymes, culture does.

So congratulations, you’re ignorant in three different languages.

I assume it depends on where you live, but police scanner radios have been around and on the shelf at stores for half a century. I imagine it’s a legal grey area similar to radar detectors.

And it’s easily decoded when you have the keys which, based on every other department that uses them, won’t take long to leak or be cracked.Lot of folks use SDR setups on a PC to decrypt and stream police and fire radio to a service like Broadcastify

Not just taxes, they want all the benefits of society without contributing to it at all. They want to be able to do whatever they want without consequence. They’re literal freeloaders pretending to be “free people.”

Block those communities or ask the admins of your instance to defederate if there’s not much redeeming content from the offending instance(s).

This is the way. The butts sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
