Two with some Excedrin, and some added caffeine thrown in to help transport, and you'll be throwing bales of hay 30 yards.

isn't 800mg close to 1 kg?

800 milligram=0.8 gram = 0.0008 kg

lookit this frickin american right here

 

[lurch70]

uff you guys are hopeless.

It's annoying how everything that actually makes any sense - say, like health care - uses the metric system, and then the rest is in US or whatever the fuck it's supposed to be called.
I'll run dopamine at 3 mcg/kg/min on a patient and then on the way home from work, get a few gallons of gas. Wtf is a gallon? How many tablespoons is that?

A conversation I had recently went a little like this:

Nipponese) Why don't you use the metric system?
Me) I don't know. We're stubborn I guess.
Nipponese) How many inches are in a foot?
Me) 12.
Nipponese) How many feet are in a mile?
Me) How the fuck should I know?

I'm having an increasing hard time answering things over here. Why is your healthcare system so fucked? Why is the dollar such a pussy? Why don't Americans drive American cars? Why is American diversity supposedly a good thing? I'm becoming increasingly Japanese so I just can't answer this crap anymore.

 

[dorian gray]

haha I have no idea either
I know a yard is three feet and that's about it

How many quarts are in a gallon? lol

 

[einride]

Why don't Americans drive American cars

they don't? then who does?

 

[dorian gray]

I've heard the Chinese go apeshit for Buicks

But yeah, people around here line up around the block for crappy Chevys so I'm not sure if those smarty-pants Japanese kids know what they're talking about

 

[lurch70]

do japanese drive japanese cars?

 

[einride]

yeah of course

the japanese are crazy about buying japanese stuff, i heard samsung had to withdraw their home electronics shit from the japanese market at one point because no one would buy their stuff out of sheer patriotism (it's korean)

or so i've heard

 

[Reign in Acai]

How many quarts are in a gallon? lol

Four, hence why it's called a "quart".

 

[Ellestin]

why is Demilich - Nespithe so irremediably sold out

 

[einride]

you're allowed to download it, the band said so

 

[Reign in Acai]

They got fucked over by their label didn't they? I recall them encouraging downloading it.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

or so i've heard

You've heard correctly. Samsung is nowhere to be found here. And I taught for a while at an electronics manufacturer and holy shit did they hate Samsung.

 

[dorian gray]

Does it have anything to do with Samsung being superior in every way to Japanese products?

lol @ Jerry

 

[einride]

does anyone even really care? isn't every common home electronics brand pretty much exactly the same shit

 

[dorian gray]

I think I tried to make that same point about hot sauces and you shut me down
