  4. My partner brought back some #sunscreen from a trip to #Greece. I was looking at the directions on it, and they're quite a bit different from what I'm used to on North American brands. They included this:

    > Apply at least 2 mg per cm^2 of skin.

    My first thought was "You have GOT to be fucking with me."

  5. #Canada is not the only country that is somewhat #schizoid about #units / #metric and #Imperial measures.

    I bought a roll of copper foil tape from China (AliExpress, natch) that was described as "20 mm x 393.7 inches". Why they didn't just say 10 meters is beyond me 😆

  6. Snagged complete set of of Marshall Cavendish #CarMaintenance and #Motoring partwork "On The Road" from 1978-1981 (in 10 binders)

    If you are #GenX you may remember your dad buying at least some of these if he was into #cars (although to get the entire partwork would have cost about £300 (2026 money) in total, so relatively few people actually got whole set of 140)

    These were sold not only in #UK but across #Commonwealth countries where folk drive on the left, one cool thing is all units are #metric first (with Imperial equivalents added afterwards)

    Fair play to the previous owner, it looks like they did definitely make use of the section on changing #HeadGasket in #BritishLeyland engine 😁

    There's a clever math trick to convert from Celsius to Centigrade without using a calculator…

    #TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)
