So I am using Google home, talk to text, I’m saying “Litre”…Even your American AI refuses to use metric… I’m even pronouncing it in my best American accent I was getting:-
“Later”
“Leader”
even
“Lita”…what the fuck is a Lita???

Have you tried pronouncing it like you spell it? “lit-ree”

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@ThePolishedTurd

I hadn’t until you just suggested it, thanks for the idea.

Here are the results, and I’ll give it credit, each result was different
The tree
Literally
Glittery
Litry ???
Look re ???
Look read

oh, well, I’ll just type like a Neanderthal

@ODaily

Total assimilation.

Exactly!

@TSMC55

So I was hoping to get my 12 mth visit badge early next year

@TSMC55 I just checked your days,( to see if you missed the day you mentioned in the quote above) and I could be wrong here, but I think you just need to get a 60 day streak to get your badge.

BUT it doesn’t look like you have visited today
SO
@TSMC55
@TSMC55
@TSMC55

@TSMC55

Hopefully you have notifications turned on

ACTUALLY That may not be the case, because the days visited jumps from quarterly to year, SO, your year until today visited sits at 306, so if it is 307 tomorrow, then you just need your 60 day streak, otherwise, you will need to keep an eye on you visited days until they start ticking up…

[Eriequiet]

what if somebody just deleted “litre” from its dictionary?
as far as its concerned its just not even a word

[ODaily]

Anybody else think that Pilgrimsmaster talking to Google Home is kinda…

Alexa (Amazon Echo) and Google Home infinite loop conversation

[Coma]

@Pilgrimsmaster

Helpful?

Haha, this is exactly how my… errr… backup copies of win95, win98, winxp and whatnot look like
Exception is win3.11, that’s still on 3.5" floppys
And I just realized that this - floppy disk size - is the singular, only ever moment I use freedom units

[Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha]

Well, if anyone has a 5.25" floppy drive and needs a copy of MS-DOS 5.0, now you know where to go:

[Coma]

I think the old i486 computer up in my attic still has one, and I have a big box full of floppys of both sizes - problem is, they don’t get better when stored in the attic, or stored at all for that long
Dunno if DOS is still on 5,25" or if we converted it to 3.5" some decades ago… most stuff on the big floppys are old games, like glorious summer- and wintergames, sokoban, car racers and all that stuff.

But I must say, I’m really happy I learned how to use DOS (very basically) as a kid - it makes “understanding” computers a lot easier. Now it all looks easy and fancy (yeah, I use windows…), but you no longer see how it all works. DOS is like the skeleton beneath all that

[TSMC55]

Thanks. Here’s hoping. I am presently in the UK and have been for the last few weeks, so am 10 hours behind when I normally check the site. So I hope that explaIns the delayed count.

Anyway thanks for checking.

Oh man do i miss the original MS paint lol

@Pilgrimsmaster

You were my inspiration for this thread by the way

Feeling honoured!

@invalid_signal

My favorite liquor store needs some help with their sale tags XD

I cried laughing!

and Kanbara is a good distillery!

@amal

Is there anything you could say to a cat to let it know that pickle sitting on the counter behind it is just a pickle? No.

Wise words. hope you don’t mind but I’m stealing that as my new go-to, Amal!!

Jokes aside, very good approach!

@enginerd

Things are not going to plan on my end.

For all that it’s worth, you do have a network you can rely in here!
(not that it needed to be said aloud, but just in case…)

[invalid_signal]

@Eyeux

Kanbara is a good distillery!

Haven’t tried it. I went for Sochu and Umeshu. It is on my list for when I go back though!

[Locutus]

What’s a litre? Is that like a quart

[ODaily]

@Locutus

What’s a litre?

Urban Dictionary: Litre

[Locutus]

I should have suspected the French.

American units are way more fun. Sometimes it’s divided by 8, sometimes 12, sometimes 16. Who knows why?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Haha, nothing like making it simple

or should I say?

nothing like simple

I think my favourite is
48tsp = 1 Cup

[ODaily]

It’s not our fault a lifetime of metrification has deprived you of the ability to use nature’s perfect mathematical system, the fraction.

We warned everybody. Only Liberia listened.

[Eriequiet]

@ODaily

use nature’s perfect mathematical system, the fraction.

Ahh but there’s the fun, you can mix fractions into metric system, the more non base 10 the more fun
