    So what’s wrong with kg for weighing things, st & lb for people, miles for driving distance, metres for building things, C for temperature and feet for ascent of hills and stuff? That’s what a 70’s born UK kid thinks like. So 16:15 is said out loud, quarter past four, maybe rarely 1615, but never 16 o’clock and? No. O’clock is only on the hour. If it’s got bits on the end you say everything except the ‘o’clock’ But I love what you’ve done with ‘half-four’ to mean 3.30. I really enjoy doing that with my German colleagues.



  • They’re converted to use gas. They take the place of regular industrial gas turbines because they’re more compact and lighter, and can be used later for backup energy after the centres are connected to the grid. So as much as I dislike AI and its relentless impact on power and the environment, misinformation on what fuel these engines are running on isn’t helpful. Also, all the info is available in the article you posted OP.

    I met my wife at a roller disco, just skating around messing about, shared joy at an activity. We were 15 and dated for a few years subsequently. Didn’t work out then, but years later, went back due to younger sibs and relived a bit of youth, there we were again. Rest is history.

    I read all of the wiki article, not just the quoted parts. But I’ve decided to pick this part out and say that out of context of the rest of the article, what would you conclude

    Toward the end of his life, Steiner predicted that race will rapidly lose any remaining significance for future generations.[313] In Steiner’s view, culture is universal, and explicitly not ethnically based, and he vehemently criticized imperialism.[317]

    In the context of his ethical individualism, Steiner considered “race, folk, ethnicity and gender” to be general, describable categories into which individuals may choose to fit, but from which free human beings can and will liberate themselves
