Start at the top 😉

A long time ago, say about 1979, I used to collect 8x10 movie stills. And I had a lucid dream where when I looked at the photograph, the movie would start from that point in the film. I remember it was a scene in To Have and to Have Not with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Thus I predicted...

Ya, tell that to my broken wrist! 🤨

I never heard of "American freedom units". What does it refer to? Is this another of 🍊 💩's hallucinations? As for temperature units, I grew up with Fahrenheit, so it has meaning for me. Try as I might to get a sense of Celsius, if you tell me it's 78(F) out, I know exactly what that feels...

I knew someone once who trapped one and ate it. Said it was rather like beef.

🙄 It makes no sense to rename Lake Ontario or the Gulf of Mexico!!

It doesn't need renaming. I saw a comment on an article about this latest fiasco "What's next? Will Canada geese now be called Donald ducks?"

Google maps now shows Lake Ontario as Lake America. 🫣😖 . Why do they pander to that buffoon???

FACTOID -- Men under 6ft always add 2 inches to their height on their driver's license, while women put their weight at 10lbs less than they are.

I think it is about the difference between a pound and a guinea. I never could understand why there was a unit of money 5% more the previous.

That is two steps. Also the slashes are confusing to me. I suppose you mean ÷... I want one step. I'm not that fusyy about the exchange rate going up or down a few points. I just want one factor to multiply the €2 price per litre by to come up with the price per gallon. Should I multiply $2.15...

😭

No, that will give me the price in euros per gallon. I'm trying to find the one factor that will give me the equivalent cost in dollars per gallon. In other words, do both the currency exchange AND change of units with just one factor.

To return to our moutons... Gasoline is about €2 per litre. A euro is $1.15 today, so $2.30 per litre. 3.78 liters to a US gallon. So $2.30 x 3.78 = $8.69 per gallon. So with these figures, what do I multiply together to have a single figure by which I can figure out the $ per gal cost? (I...
