I believe in some countries in the world, the year goes first, then the month, then the day (2024/08/08 or 2024, August 8). Seems more logical to me than the literal inverse (08/08/2024 or 8 August 2024).
Year, month, day is the most logical. I’ll stand by month, day, year as being more logical than day, month, year because it’s somewhat more sorted lol.
I mean, I’m fine with the long form (August 8, 2024), but definitely not the short form, which today looks indistinguishable from DD/MM/YYYY anyway. I often think it’s the other way around and ask “since when was there a 26th month??”.
Ironically blue ink (and I’m guessing purple, due to the amount of blue) is used on documents to prevent certain kinds of forgery, so they’re extra-confirming they signed the paper saying they didn’t actually sign the paper. But… you know.
Thanks! Wish I could remember exactly where but it was taken while I was on the road with some friends last year, based on its position in the camera roll most likely along Highway 287 south of Ennis, MT.
1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.
The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.
If one person he is insanely focused on made a joke about him breathing too much, and they saw people laughing at it, he would. Instantly without second thought, because he never had a first thought.
State and local laws are obviously a big varying factor here, but:
<span style="color:#323232;">1. If the Vehicle is Parked Legally: If you pull into a private driveway and your vehicle is parked legally, meaning it does not block traffic or pose any safety hazards, the police typically would not tow your vehicle without the property owner’s permission. However, they can still ticket you and potentially arrest you if other laws have been violated (like attempting to evade the police).
</span><span style="color:#323232;">2. If the Vehicle is Parked Illegally or is a Hazard: If your car is parked in a way that blocks the driveway, creates a traffic hazard, or if the property owner complains, the police may have grounds to tow the vehicle, possibly even without the property owner’s immediate permission.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">3. Private Property Rights: Private property owners generally have rights over what happens on their property. However, if the police believe there is an exigent circumstance or that a law has been violated that justifies towing, they might proceed with the tow and sort out the details later.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">4. Exigent Circumstances: If the police believe that your car is part of an ongoing investigation (e.g., it was used in a crime or you were attempting to flee from law enforcement), they may have the authority to tow the vehicle regardless of whether it is on private property.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">5. Local Laws: Local ordinances or state laws can vary widely on this issue, so the specific circumstances and jurisdiction will greatly affect what the police can legally do.
