It’s like someone explained the idea of a mailing list but they didn’t quite get it.

Amir, in mHz is superior
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

I have no idea if this is meterhertz or millihertz

TeckFire, (edited )

nHz is Nanohertz 1/1,000,000,000 Hz (Billionth)

µHz is Microhertz 1/1,000,000 Hz (Millionth)

mHZ is Millihertz 1/1,000 Hz (Thousandth)

Hz is Hertz 1 Hz (Base Unit, one per second)

kHz is Kilohertz 1,000 Hz (Thousand)

MHz is Megahertz 1,000,000 Hz (Million)

GHz is Gigahertz 1,000,000,000 Hz (Billion)

THz is Terahertz 1,000,000,000,000 Hz (Trillion)

I suppose there are probably more that I’m not aware of, but I hope this clears it up.

kuberoot,

Pretty sure kilo is lowercase, actually.

TeckFire,

Son of a bitch, you’re right lmao

psud,

Big K is Kelvins for temperature

TeckFire,

Kelvinhertz

psud,

Sufficient Kelvins do hurt, I guess

frunch,

Can Hertz be imperial or are they strictly metric?

psud, (edited )

RPM (revolutions per minute) is an old rotational measure

But the second is the same in both systems so I wouldn’t be surprised if America called revs per second “Hertz”

Phil_in_here,

I think there’s something like 43/500ths of a Bigole Hertz to a regular Hertz; but that’s if you’re using English Bigoles. I think it’s 43.9/500ths for a US Bigole.

FiniteLooper,

I usually just rent from Enterprise. They pick you up!

I’m American and I’ve never seen any other unit used for frequency unless you count adjectives like “daily”.

Amir,

No, that absolutely does not resolve the confusion between meter (m) and milli (m)

unlucky,

By convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the “milli” prefix.

psud,

Standing alone ‘m’ is metre.

With a decimal modifier ahead of it, ‘m’ is metre

Immediately before a symbol it is milli (one thousandth)

mm - the first m is before the metre symbol, it is the milli multiplier, the second m is after a multiplier, so it is the symbol for metre

mHz - the m is before the symbol Hz (for Hertz) so it is the milli multiplier

km - the m is after the K (kilo, thousand times) multiplier, so it is metre

You probably spell metre ‘meter’, but a meter is a whole different word in English

TeckFire, (edited )

I feel like a dumbass

I totally read your comment as “Megahertz or Millihertz”

Now I realize it should just be Meters•Herts or m•Hz

suzune, (edited )

No one uses millihertz and neither meterhertz. If you want to do it correctly the first one would be acceptable for milli as scale. The second one would need to be written as m • Hz.

rockerface,

yes

Just because I like to see the world burn I would clear the inbox/sent folders each time a email is received.

Maybe start to draft emails with nonsense in them, such as shopping lists of items that don’t make sense together. A list of all the best bathrooms on campus. List of students in class based on height.

Would not hurt to subscribe the email address to a bunch of junk/spam/marketing sites.

Nah, I’d sign up for cat memes or something, then set up filtering rules to delete everything except for the cat memes. If they’re dumb enough to think the shared inbox is a good solution, they might not know about filters.

Mass-shooting is just a lack of precision and the excess of ammunition.

DigitalTraveler42, in Damn freeloaders takin' all the jobs!

I love how the rhetoric is “dey turk our jerbs!” While lawmakers are lowering the work age requirements so that kids can be forced to fill those “jerbs”.

TheSanSabaSongbird,

Also, throw massive temper tantrum about “crisis at the border,” but refuse to do anything about it. If anyone is wondering, the answer is no, the Republicans do not want to make a deal with Biden on border policy; it’s way too politically convenient for them to have it both ways.

They want to use it as a campaign talking point and as a political cudgel, while also refusing to do anything about it. Also they can’t give Biden anything that might look like a win, no matter how much the American people want it.

Unfortunately they have right wing media on their side so their constituents will never understand the two-faced game they’re playing.

moon, in Damn freeloaders takin' all the jobs!

It’s just code for racism in the end. Always is.

DigitalTraveler42, (edited ) in Community note pointing out fake news once again 🫡

We should spread new elon death rumors and make what happened more and more embarrassing with each telling.

Edit: I love all of these already, lol

I vote for him pissing his pants, slipping in a pool of his own piss, and then falling and smashing his head against that sink he was carrying in that picture back when he bought Twitter.

DigitalTraveler42, in Will this run GTA 6 and why not?

Time to break out Crysis

@Bleach7297@lemmy.ca avatar

Piers Morgan blocked me on Xitter, back when I had an account there. It was the highlight of my brief time on that platform.

Sugarrayron,

“Xitter” is absolutely amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen someone call it that.

Macropolis,

Pronounced “shitter”

If only I can prevent forest fires, then that means 8bn other people dont have to worry about it

unlucky, in mHz is superior

m•Hz ~ m/s with implied periodicity, mHz would be milliherz

psud, (edited )

To expand on that, 1 mHz would be 1 thousandth of a cycle per second/one cycle per thousand seconds

1m/s is about 3.6km/h or 2.237 mph

Bytemeister, in Reblog if youre american

I just wish they weren’t doing a 50% off special when I was born…
