A perfect zero. I have done all of those things and more that the creator of that list can’t even imagine. Things that were everyday common but have faded beyond memory, (and aren’t missed at all).

Nah, Tarballs are delicious!

Compiling is only needed to solve dependencies when you get caught in rpm hell.

And if you insist on being unattractive, then have you tried being rich?

As a boomer, reading this thread/discussion has been so amusing in many ways while enjoying my cuppa tea this morning. A classic “the younger generations are stupid.”

The older generations looking down the ones that follow. And the following generations looking down on those that precede them. And no one understanding ain’t none of us are all that bright.

Ever has it been, and so ever shall it be.

I do know exactly how it works. As far as the error in the metric system, let me goggle that for the lazy and ignorant

Those physical constants were randomly chosen. And they eventually chose a different physical standard only recently. And it STILL contains an error even after all these centuries because one of the original men sent to do the real world measurement cheated at his job and made up some of his measurements to avoid traversing some difficult terrain. So yes, it turns out it’s as “made up” as much as any other system.

Good thing the US doesn’t use the Imperial measurement system then, (we use US Customary which is different than Imperial). That pretty much started to diverge by the end of the revolutionary War. And for your information, we are all looking for that same missing 10mm wrench and socket just like you guys are. We use the metric system all the bloody time. From soda pop and whisk(e)y to every food item in a grocery store to the Canyonaro pickups we drive are all metric. We just don’t force it by law like the rest of the world.

The point was to make fun of any and all who think ANY measurement system is better than another or even matters at all. They all consist of made up units all thought up by random dudes long ago that enough other people thought were pretty skookum and decided to use.

I didn’t say it was. Just that has been quite popular with those types of defective people over the history of the use of the metric system.

The Imperial system has it’s own special though.

So the metric units? Those were used by racists and genocidal tyrants throughout history.
