Inches (2.54cm) are measured not in base 10, but in halves/quarters/eights/etc. I agree it's a dumb system.

Or if you take 60 hours worth of classes in random majors trying to find one you like!

Instructions unclear. I see your reply via your profile, but it doesn't show in the thread...? And i thought I knew how to use reddit. Oof.

Reply to ELI5: why does mobile data either get really bad or automatically disconnect when making a call. Then gets restored once the call ends. by ShadoWalker123
What's more irritating to me is that my phone (s22) drops my mobile connection when I make a *data* call. So if I use my company's voip (ringcentral), or even a mobile appointment with a doctor, I'll lose 4g/5g, and thus the entire call. The issues resolve if I use a VPN. If I'm fast enough getting the VPN on after the call drops, I can pick them back up in 5 to 10 seconds.

Reply to LPT: When bringing a dessert to a function, cut a small slice off before you put it out. by arkobsessed
I not only cut out a piece for myself, I also precut into 3ish giant triangles so those knife-challenged mofos don't make stupidly-shaped cake pieces (it gives them a middle point to aim for) !

I'm really confused by this. 300meters is nowhere near 1/4 or whatever of our own oceans. Earth is 71% covered in water. Our oceans average 3700meters deep.
Further, covering the much smaller Mars 300m deep would require much less water than the same depth as earth has roughly 4x the surface area.
Am i misreading something?

Reply to comment by formerlyanonymous_ in When humans next land on the moon, will our telescopes from Earth's surface be able to photograph the rocket on the moon's surface? by Nswl
Me too.... so I looked it up just to get a grasp on difference! From a purely diameter related measurement, the moon is ~2100 miles, while the earth is around 8000 miles in diameter. The US is around 2700 miles across depending on how you measure. However in actual square miles, the moon is MUCH more massive (sphere, yay!) than any one country on earth; the moon is around 14.6million square miles, wile the entire continent of asia is around 17.2million sq miles (largest country on earth, Russia, is "only" 6.6 million miles).
