  • Allow me to make a hackneyed code block diagram

     • <- rotational center
     |
     |
     +👈<<<  <- pounds (force applied at radius)
     ⇡
     feet (distance from center)
    

    Because the final unit is a combined feet×lbs, it’s subject to the commutative property of multiplication. For example, 89 foot-pounds of torque is equivalent to 89 pounds of force at 1 foot away from the rotational center, or 1 pound of force 89ft away from the rotational center.

    I typically imagine it by putting a weight of x pounds at the end of a 1ft wrench held perfectly level, idk.

    In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

    I don’t disagree that they’re different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

    In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)

    Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.






  • That’s because Trump is a Shark and the average Americans buying dolls for their children are Minnows.

    Conservatism generally believes whoever is at the top of a hierarchy deserves it by virtue of being at the top of the hierarchy, so long as they believe that person got there by merit and hard work. Minnows should be happy to scrounge for scraps. Sharks deserve everything they can get because, according to the mythos, they know what to do with the power and can wield it much more effectively than that meddling government.
