[2014-8-13. : 5:37 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- So the 1760 yards or 5280 feet is because all the measurements between (rod, chain, furlong) are no longer commonly used. [2014-8-13. : 5:36 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "A mile is a unit of length most commonly equivalent to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards (about 1,609 metres)." [2014-8-13. : 5:34 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Here we go. There are 8 furlongs in a mile, 10 chains in a furlong, 4 rods in a chain, and 5.5 yards in a rod.  [2014-8-13. : 5:33 pm]  NudeRaider -- have you checked the picture it links? it says 1 mile = 1.76 km. Google says 1 mile = 1.61 km. [2014-8-13. : 5:31 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like there are US volume measurements and then Imperial volume measurements, and they are slightly off from eachother [2014-8-13. : 5:27 pm] Devourer -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59LQw9bKeJ8&feature=youtu.be btw anyone knows this song? ;o [2014-8-13. : 5:27 pm] NudeRaider -- What's with that miles to km? Google tells me 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers [2014-8-13. : 5:26 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- There's a bunch of archaic measurements between yard and mile. [2014-8-13. : 5:24 pm] NudeRaider -- I should clarify that most of the time I convert those numbers using mental arithmetic [2014-8-13. : 5:23 pm] Devourer -- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8iOg2h-n7bY/TzfeD-l0HAI/AAAAAAAAApc/UO-b8kPQoeo/s1600/metric%2Bsystem.jpg [2014-8-13. : 5:23 pm] NudeRaider -- I can add 50% and then 10% (which is the same) but not in 1 go... [2014-8-13. : 5:21 pm] NudeRaider -- for miles I know when I just do miles * 1.5 = km I'm too far off so I add 10% to get pretty close  [2014-8-13. : 5:21 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I'm not fat at all, I still use the smallest hole on my belt. xD [2014-8-13. : 5:20 pm] Devourer -- I only weigh 80 now I guess and I feel like I could lose some fat  you are fat, farty! [2014-8-13. : 5:18 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I eat superpretzels, frozen mac and cheese, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, bagels and cream cheese, other pastas and grains, and like a quart of whole milk chocolate milk every day  [2014-8-13. : 5:17 pm] Devourer -- http://www.staredit.net/foodsep.jpg this is exactly what I was eating every day, only that. Except for the milk, that only like every second or maybe third day. Else I drank water. [2014-8-13. : 5:16 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I went to Scotland and everyone uses stone, I thought that was some like archaic unused measuring system before that D: [2014-8-13. : 5:16 pm] NudeRaider -- mhh don't know about the more thirsty part. Probably some side effect from the diet change? [2014-8-13. : 5:14 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- And I have no more fat than I did before doing that as far as I can tell [2014-8-13. : 5:14 pm] NudeRaider -- Well that's what everyone recommends, but I prefer heavily carbonated water and for some reason it makes me hungry. So I mostly consume diet coke [2014-8-13. : 5:13 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I thought it'd be fun to gain weight, so I just sort of ate an extra meal every day and now I weigh a reasonable weight for my height (170-175 lb). xD [2014-8-13. : 5:12 pm] NudeRaider -- Have some slices of vegetables like cucumbers or fresh paprika you eat between every few bites and you'll feel full for many hours with too many calories. [2014-8-13. : 5:10 pm] NudeRaider -- meat - I'll say it again - isn't unhealty. The worst of kebab is the white flour bread [2014-8-13. : 5:09 pm] NudeRaider -- But then I had some issues and stopped never to continue.  And all progress is long lost [2014-8-13. : 5:09 pm] Riney -- Never doubted him. Ever since I saw Zero Punctuation the first time. ;o [2014-8-13. : 5:09 pm] Devourer -- The bread contains a lot of carbohydrates or at least a lot of calories, still [2014-8-13. : 5:09 pm] Devourer -- Btw, a "döner" without any sauce and without the meat probably is incredibly healthy. [2014-8-13. : 5:08 pm] NudeRaider -- though I eat fast food - mostly kebab and the occasional schnitzel with fires [2014-8-13. : 5:07 pm] NudeRaider -- no more convenience food for me. That is frozen pizzas, noodle packs and all that silly stuff from supermarkets |
