That little mug and pot don't hold a lot, because there isn't "Mush Room."

When designing the Occupant Classification system for automotive passenger seats, we had to test *thousands* of people to correlate the weight plus weight distribution of children, car seats (empty and occupied), 5th percentile females (105 pounds, approximately the lower limit of where you want an air bag to deploy in a crash), average size adults...every size person that might be in a vehicle's passenger seat. We recruited all over the place--employees, their spouses, their kids, a modeling school, a cheerleader camp (to get those 5th % females)...

Now, imagine the effort to get enough data to develop and calibrate an algorithm that correlates butthole size/shape/characteristics to gender. Statistically, what sample size do you need for high confidence in the algorithm's determination?

Statistical nuance: Assumption--the input data is representative of user data.
Reality--the input data is representative of people willing to undergo an ass-scan.

All the parts for the various electronics items I designed at my American automotive components company were dimensioned in mm, and weights of items (solder, flux, coating) were purchased in grams.

Americans cheering for one college talking about those people who cheer for another college. Especially weird when they didn't even go to that college (Indiana basketball and Notre Dame football).

I never found it that confusing. Essentially, you just follow the directions.

It also pays to know the mechanics of the "internal organs" of the beast. That is, how will more taxable income and/or tax deductions affect you now vs. later. Of course, the rules can change a lot later so it's like hitting a moving target. But, if you're deciding between a Roth IRA and a regular (deductible) IRA/401k, you'd be nuts to take a tax deduction at 12% (if that's your marginal rate now) to defer taxes 'til you're in the 24% bracket.

Unless you own property that you're renting out, it's not complicated.

There's a "Mil Spec" for almost everything, like for example, grades of steel. That doesn't mean the Mil-Spec steel is stronger or resists rust more or anything, just that it meets a certain minimum tensile strength, elongation, hardenability, etc. I'm guessing that the Mil-Spec for tank steel is different from steel used to make toolboxes.

Reagan sent arms to the Taliban so they could fight against incursion from the Soviets. But, geez, the stuff that was sent in the 1980s pales in comparison to all the first-rate tech and massive amount of arms (and armor, and vehicles...) that was left when the US hurriedly fled in 2021.

Part of the reason that people think ill of someone who's "charged with something" is because the burden of proof of a crime is on the prosecution, but very often the despicable act is something that can't be proven, or that gets defended with "his upbringing was so terrible, he had no hope."
So, it's very common for everyone to know a person "did something," and loathe what s/he did, but for a court to not be able to prosecute that person to the point of depriving the person of his/her freedom with a jail sentence.

You could make the same kind of comparison in a lot of places if you took one photo in January, and the other in June 105 years apart.

She probably thinks 5" passes for 8".

...of course, I mean that she'd confuse a real $20 bill for a photocopied one that was too large, or would have trouble deciding between a 5x7 photo frame and an 8x10.
