  • Haha it wasn’t sturdy when it was new, what a design. I guess it’d be okay for small children (reaching sink to brush teeth, that sort of thing.). I’d still reinforce because that one time an adult steps on it’s gonna bear trap their legs.

    That said, this would be super neat as like a planter holder or something - pure decoration. A fresh coat of something to make the character lines pop. I’m amateur as it gets and would probably varathane it lol so don’t ask me how.

    Fuck it. I’m inventing a new scale.

    Behold! “Disagree Degrees”. We’re going to combine the best traits of the other units. No more searching for the stupid little degree character in the character map. D for degrees or disagrees - whatever, I don’t give a shit.

    0D = 0K (Like Kelvin, no negatives! That’s so dumb!) 0.4D = -40 C and -40 F 1D = Water Freezing point (Need a consistent point of scale) 10D = “Pleasant temperature” 100D = Kind of hot 500D = Really hot for people (>40C or >100F) “It’s like 500 disagrees out there!” 1000D= Water boiling (To match the freezing temp) 1,000,000,000,000D = Surface of the sun

    Good luck on the math converting to other units, this temperature scale isn’t about being useful for nerd stuff, it’s all about appealing to our emotions.



  • Well we know Tatooine orbits a pair of stars somehow and it’s still in the Goldilocks zone just enough to make it semi habitable still. My assumption is that these are white dwarfs or something smallish.

    Could this be explained that the local year is much shorter? Add in that Hutt is well versed in his own biology which assuming a he isn’t strangled by a tentacle, could be slowly digested alive for a 1000 Tatooine years? He probably forgets that about his pathetic cute biped pets.

    No seriously what is significant about 0F? I live in a place that sees a lot of negative F too.

    It’s so arbitrary. If it was 0 at freezing water and 100 at human body temp I’d understand it but no, it’s literally nothing significant in people’s lives. It has no tangible anchor.

    It’s purely emotion keeping it around.










  • Tried disabling the mail/cal client and see if it still does it in barebones Vivaldi?

    I recently had to disable mail on an instance in a Windows machine. As I had a few accounts on it to test functionality a few weeks ago, I had forgotten about it. It was holding at about 60% cpu the last couple of days and I couldn’t figure it out until I searched the forums for this issue. Solved it for me and I’ll be trying other email clients anyway.
