Remember what an alpha is ? In video games, it’s the first release, extra rough, not yet full clean of a game. It’s the test version.

So I propose that we call “alpha males” … “the test version”.

You’re dreaming a bit too much there, sorry.

You can bet genetic engineering has reached a level where you can sterilize your whole army without a concern.

So soldiers fucking like rabbits ? Maybe. All genders ? Maybe, we have no idea whether there were women onboard. BUt did they get pregnant ? Why bother ?

14$ per month looks pretty expensive.

I don’t really like that.

But I prefer it other what the religious Right wants.

There are “something” for a lot of things that are not in metrics.

Like tire sizes. My bow’s power is measured in pounds (and I should use inches there too normally. I don’t bother.) Screen sizes are in inches I think…

95% work in metrics. But there is always a little stuff in some weird units.

Yes, only places where it is mixed is the anglosaxony… try to open to the world.

I use pounds because I do archery, where my bow’s power is measured with that unit, which I translate as 1/2 a kg. I don’t care that it’s inaccurate.

There are also inches (I think) for Tv and computer screens, which is shitty.

But no one else uses imperial.

I worked with croncrete blocks (prefabricated building elements) some years ago and I was all the time making fast calculations of sizes and weight and I cannot imagine making that in imperial (admittedly because I am not used, but in present case it would just have been massively impractical)

The vast majority of the world does not use imperial units.
