If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.

In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you’d call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don’t need to pronounce the 0x

I don’t see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (…) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (…)

Everything is under control

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that’s not going to degrade.

Every base has ten, but it’s made of two digits

Binary 0, 1, 10 Ternary 0, 1, 2, 10 … Decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10

Each has the right count of digits for its base before you go two-digit - binary has two (0, 1), etc

I think you’d start in Capetown

There is no accounting for taste. Who’s to say what’s a better actor?!

Tom Cruise has employees rewrite movies he’ll be in to make his part more, and more in his style.

He has more acting range and ability than so many other actors

The idea is protection from crime. You can have the window tilted and thieves theoretically cannot climb in through that window, where a swinging or sliding window while open allows someone to climb in through it

Of course in practice they’re less safe where they’re popular as there is a tool, a hook, which allows someone breaking in to hook the handle, pull the tilted window shut, and open it again in swinging mode, allowing them in

My understanding is sliding windows are the easiest to secure as you can bolt lock them at any point of openness. My sliding windows have bolt points at closed and at 5cm open

With the weather outside today in my Australian town a nice 24°C temperature I have a window at each end of the house open.

At one end of the house the window tilts (bottom out), the window at the other end other slides.

The sliding window has much more space — half of the viewing area — open to the breeze than the tilting

The men who are worried about being hunted for sport have been told too many times that that’s what should happen to them

Yeah, I’m 45ish and I went zero carb to get rid of body fat and bad health. The common diet is fucking us up.

You’re doing it wrong then. Life can be fun. It can be fun for not just years, but decades
