Only knowing your cup size is not enough. You need to know the underbust size as well. A 32D and a 34C have cups with the same volume. Sure, there is still some variance but not as much as I thought before I learned that.
Edit: This calculator and the community of the same name on the-site-that-shall-not-be-named helped me a lot in finding my actual bra size. Now my only problem is that almost no company here has more than two or three bras in that size…
I think I remember some years ago a zoo fed a dead giraffe to the lions and people went absolutely insane about it. I’m not sure about the details anymore, they might have killed it because there wasn’t enough room in the zoo for it? Either way I didn’t get it, what do they think the lions are fed any other day? Animals that weren’t killed explicitly to become food? Some cows that couldn’t bear existence on this world anymore and offered themselves as lion food? Where is the difference?
I also hate discussions with people who miss my point and argue against things I never claimed.
But what if it turns out we do need it in 10 years?
That’s the point, we likely wouldn’t have any new nuclear power plants in ten years, even if we started planning them now. The one they are building in the UK was started somewhere around 2017 I think and maybe, fingers crossed, it might be finished by 2029. Right now the estimated cost is around £46 billion, up from originally about £23 billion.
That’s one plant. We need many more for any relevant effect. Not even starting on the fact that nuclear energy is very inadequate for balancing out short term differences in the grid since you can’t just quickly power them up or down as needed.
Pumping all of our waste into the atmosphere is a much better solution!
I never said that. But there are ways we have to do neither. Why not concentrate on those, especially since they are magnitudes cheaper.
If we had started building them the first time that question was asked we’d have them by now.
That might be true, but how is that helping us right now? That’s why I said it doesn’t matter how the horse died. It’s dead now. There are many faster solutions, why take the one that takes longest?
I deeply wish that people would understand that this horse is deader than dead. There is no Frankensteinian experiment and no virus that will bring it back to even a zombie-like half-life. So would you, please, please, just stop beating the poor thing.
It doesn’t matter anymore how it died, it’s really time to get a new horse.
Edit: Instead of just down voting, could you explain to me:
I just fail to see any way how this could right now solve our problem.
In that case I don’t think you should go. Your son is 14, he will be able to tell that there is bad blood. Maybe sit him down and explain that you would like to go for his sake but think it’s too soon and you are not comfortable around them yet (without throwing blame on them, as difficult as that may be).
While I generally agree with you, I think we have to look at it from the moderators’ perspective, too. What are they supposed to do? Deal with the same persons every few weeks until hopefully some of them grow? Moderating a community is already a lot of (often thankless) work. I don’t think adding this would help finding and keeping good moderators.
Ultimately it’s not only about what is the most fair but about what tools are needed to keep a community running.
Are you two telling me getting into political arguments on internet forums is not gonna make me the ruler of the world??? I thought I was really getting somewhere here.
I’m not sure the Catholic Church would agree that Martin Luther changed everyone’s opinion.
Well that sure is a bit larger than a church.
Interesting question. Are we talking about the volume or the floor area? For volume maybe a church? Then St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City would be the largest. I don’t know the layout though, but I assume a large portion of it is the main “room”.
Or do stadium with a roof count? Then maybe one of these?
Edit: I don’t think I really thought this through. I was thinking too much of more roomy rooms. Most convention centers probably have larger exhibition halls.
In Germany marital rape is punished in the same way as any other rape since 1997 (which to me always seemed horrifically late). But one of the guys who voted against it is his party’s candidate for the post of Chancellor in the election next year.
Maybe we are not as far beyond these misogynistic worldviews as we like to believe.
I’d prefer if it already was decimal time. As you said it would integrate with the rest of the metric system much more smoothly.
But as a software developer the thought of changing it now gives me anxiety. Time is so much more immediately integrated into systems than distances or currencies.
Much as I love the metric system, I kinda think the moment for changing time units has passed. At the latest when computers became a thing, probably even before that.
And 12 based systems have the advantage of having having many divisors which is very neat as well. You can divide an hour by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60 and end up with an even number of minutes. Then again with a decimal system fractions wouldn’t be so bad.
For a few glorious years there was an alternative that solved all your problems: The French Revolutionary calendar
10 days per week, 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute.
The French were serious about the decimal system (thanks for the kilograms though).
I feel like this only works if those are the only items on the list. If you also have apples, berries, potatoes, onions, shampoo and toothpaste, it’s just a normal shopping list.
As a developer I can freely admit that without the operations people the software I develop would not run anywhere but on my laptop.
I know as much about hardware as a cook knows about his stove and the plates the food is served on – more than the average person but waaaay less than the people producing and maintaining them.
Yeah, the two measurements are really not enough to fit all the different boob shapes. And just offering different shapes with the same two measurements leads to problems for those who otherwise could rely on the two alone.
I have that problem with trousers where one measurement for width is not enough to fit both my waist and my hips. With bras it’s just that apparently you can’t have more than B or at maximum C if your underbust is 28/30. According to companies at least.
