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 (…)

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 don’t know, 7 is a bit of a cannibal. π just is a little in the way

It was on a Russian Antarctic base, why would international waters be a consideration?

We need a checklist like there is for Russian warships

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

I had uniform shirt, tie, slacks, socks, jumpers, blazer, bag

The shoes weren’t uniform but were of very limited style.

You could pick something about wealth by how neatly kids were dressed (and the state of their clothes; the cheapest were nearly worn out), and the toys they brought to school

Hats weren’t regulated because it was the '80s and '90s and we didn’t wear hats. We had a uniform hat in our sports uniform but it wasn’t popular

During the '80s private schools (expensive schools) had uniforms and public schools (free schools) had none

Now private schools have their same uniforms with blazers and ties and public schools have colour codes

He really is on course for a heart attack

This one was the upper floor of the victim’s home

Sure you lose everything from the dying instance. Everything is temporary. I lost so much karma leaving Reddit, but it’s all nothing, especially here where you can post and comment at any karma

If you’re worried about losing your posts, back up better

Not stuck. You can set up your own instance and be beholden to no-one other than your country’s law

You don’t seem to be like me.

Or to reddit and lemmy

The world average temperature is up. Locally this puts more energy in weather

Taller storms, bigger hail, more cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes earlier and later in the season

In 1988 my uncle was working as a chemist for the oil industry in Oman. When he was home he’d tell us about global warming from carbon dioxide from burning oil

In the industry they knew. In politics they knew. But it made a lot of money and they’d be dead before New York would be flooded

I wish aging had been solved back then, so those people would know they’d live to see the impending disaster

RIP Great Barrier Reef this coming southern summer

Guns don’t cause suicide, but they make it much easier to successfully complete suicide

Handguns especially

But I doubt an increase in suicides this year from last year has anything to do with gun ownership rates

Ok. I guess I live in a wealthier place, they all retired here on generous pensions at age 54 and a half

I think boomers are all retired, it’s gen X and Millennials that don’t breed

Except in their special economic areas
