Styxia, in Where are some good places I can buy metric tape measures

I got mine (Milwaukee brand) from the big orange box store which also happens to be available on Amazon.com for $25.

The ones I remember that would be 30-40 years old are imperial on one side and metric on the other. Maybe that changed, idk.

xapr, in Where are some good places I can buy metric tape measures

I just searched amazon.com for metric tape measure right now and the entire first page of results were actual metric tape measures? The Milwaukee ones seem to be cheaper on ebay.

LemmyKnowsBest, in What do ridiculously rich people (like Bill Gates etc.) ask for/get for Christmas/birthdays/etc.?

They probably just go on vacations and spend time with family and people they love.

Really? Sounds bizarre.

Here in Australia you can buy metric-only and metric- imperial tapes anywhere that sells tapes.

Mcmaster-Carr or Grainger have just about any tool you can think of and you don’t have to worry about chinesium junk either.

Any place that sells imperial should also sell metric. If all else fails, order from a Canadian Walmart.

As a petite woman it’s embarassing but buying kids clothes (especially if you’re going for the basic look and no printed design). One is clothes can be expensive and two I just noticed that the quality of kids clothes are thicker and it feels right.

garbagebagel,

If you have small feet to match your stature like I do, there is no shame in buying way cheaper kids shoes too.

Iamdanno,

I was outdoors with my girlfriend and I commented on the cute prints in the dirt of flowers. Turns out her shoes were purchased in the kids department. You could tell by looking at them, until she left tracks.

I forgot about the kid’s shoes trick. It can be hit or miss…sometimes kid’s shoes aren’t made as well as they’re expected to be outgrown. But sometimes the toe boxes are bigger, which I appreciate because it sucks looking for 5 wide women’s. (And size 3 men’s isn’t always available.)

Comparison is the thief of joy.

lntl, in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

Nowadays, I use GNU/Linux.

ShustOne, in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

Honestly these days the built in Windows tools are more than enough. Storage settings gets the job done.

Also I love Linux too guys but those comments with nothing else aren’t very helpful.

morphballganon, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Certainly not destroying ourselves or our own planet. We’re already doing that.

PrinceWith999Enemies, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Invent a warp drive.

Cue the T’Plana Hath landing.

ZeroCool, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Well I’m pretty sure as soon as those 179 episodes of The Apprentice that we broadcast in all directions for 11 years reaches an alien civilization it’s going to provoke an attack that destroys the entire solar system.
