What I mean is, instead of measuring something as "5 feet 6 inches", an engineer would say it's 5.5 feet.

Here's a surveyor's leveling rod:
the red numbers are feet, the black numbers are 1/10th of a foot

I know everyone is really, really tired about this, but I asked the person who stopped watching RLM because of shitty jokes why they were surprised, and she said they had stopped doing it and she really liked their new stuff, but then one cast member left and they started making shitty jokes again.

i'm sure i'm coming off really ignorant here but it's kinda weird to me
cuz like 5.5, i have no problem reading that as five and a half
but 5.5 feet looks like it could be 5'5" incorrectly notated
I think it makes a difference that we're talking about technical and engineering documents, plans, etc. that will primarily be read by people familiar with the convention. If you know to expect decimal feet, you're not likely to misread them as inches.

I walked to South Campus and back to pick up my Physics lab manual at the Barnes & Noble there
It's quite a long way from Engineering Core but I needed the exercise.
I consider Time Travel Done Right when it adds something to the story, or the story is based around it, instead of being tacked on in an attempt to be "cool".
In the case of Harry Potter, it had the potential to be a key part of the series. Instead it shows up once and and is never mentioned again. It's wasted potential.
If I read a story or play a game that has time travel, I want to say "yes, this is awesome" instead of "this had so much potential but it doesn't make me feel satisfied"
It's weird to me that nobody seems to object to the concept of private property on religious grounds.
Like, I find it hard to believe a hypothetical creator would say "here's Earth, feel free to claim a chunk of it and keep others out" instead of "here's Earth, it has limited resources, but please try to share them as equally as possible."
Look up Christian anarchism. I think you may find it intriguing.

Maybe I should buy Central, like, one of those Very Short Introduction books on Political Philosophy.

If that makes sense...
makes perfect sense
time travel is such a potential game-changer that if you introduce it, it either has to be in a very limited fashion (Madoka Magica being an example of that) or you have to go all in on it (Dr. Who, Quantum Leap, etc.)
My favourite video game introduces the concept of time travel very late on in the series, and they absolutely run with it. And they also reference it in later games.
I think Homestuck provides one of the better uses of time travel as a plot device in the fiction that I have been exposed to, in that it really runs with every possible problem and embraces each and every one wholeheartedly rather than simply ignoring it.

Hello CEGE Students,
This is a last call for picking up your homework from last semester. We will be destroying all of Tuesday morning.
No, not Tuesday morning! If you destroy that, Monday will never end!

Seriously considering this tbh, it seems to bother her a lot.

i feel awful right now and i don't really know why
You have good reasons to feel awful, honestly, but speaking from personal experience, those can almost be immaterial, or else separated from the emotions stemming from them in this curious sort of way.
I only found a few math books worth sending. oh well.
I also got a book on old comms stuff and The Selfish Gene,which it turns out is way better when it leaves memetics out of the primary argument (newer copies talk about it in the introduction, iirc)

constantly converting between bases
depends what you're used to i guess

Because "America", I guess.
I thought it was a legit pop cultural icon, albeit one that really needs to hang it up

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

and take their weapons leaving them dead
