A dog called Pebbles?

Now that picture just screams "adorable"!!~

piobbuR who still prefers Kelvin (pereferably expressed with hexadecimal digits).

PS. There is actually a fourth scale (with some but fortunately very limited use), the Rankine svcale . It's like Kelvin in the sense that absolute zero==0, but unlike Kelvin it's based on Fahrenheit., Thus 0C==273.15K==32F==491.67. FACEPALM!!!! DS

PPS. Actually there are even more scales. Wikipedia lists 4 additional temperature scales (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature) DS.

Love it.

I have my own scale too:

"Shit! It's freezing, I need my winter coat, gloves, scarf and 3 layers" - Beast of the East cold wave. Think Iceland weather.
"It's cold. I've got my winter coat on" - Most of the year in the UK
"It's getting warm, I'll just wear my hoodie" - 2 months of the year in the UK. Type of weather most Mediterranean countries have when it's cold for them.
"It's really nice now. Go out in t-shirts and shorts" - 2 weeks of the year in the UK. When the Mediterranean is in its happy season.
"I'm dying here!" - 1 week heat wave in the UK. Think India most of the year.

Don't get me started on °C/°F vs K, US and UK gallon vs litre, mile / nautical mile / Scandinavian mile vs km, PSI / mmHg vs bar, roentgen / rad / rem /… vs Sv and so on. That's why we still have to carry a calculator (but I don't mind, I love calculators).

So dangerous, so confusing. It reminds me of this satellite lost because two collaborative teams were using different units. Or that one time I took off with the only plane still equipped with an air speed indicator in mph instead of kn without noticing it. Someone was very unhappy about it.

"It's cold. I've got my winter coat on" - Think Kansas for everything else between November to the first half of March
"It's getting warm, I'll just wear my hoodie" - Think Kansas in October or the last half of March through the first half of May. (Hope it's a water-proof hoodie.)
"It's really nice now. Go out in t-shirts and shorts" - Think Kansas in the last half of September and the last half of May
"I'm dying here!" - The rest of the year in Kansas

Fixed that for you.

Mine would be shorter:
"It's really nice now. Go out in t-shirts and shorts" - Think Brisbane all year long!!

pibbuR who, sad to say, has to admit that he is there, does that.

pibbuR who probably won't be allowed in due to his love for Norwegian brown cheese (not an euphemism for drugs).

… And the worst thing is , that I'm totally like that !

… Just not with *really* important people …

pibbuR who (AFAHK) never broke a mirror, but (mostly unintentionally) several pieces of small(occasionally large) non-furry items of other (more or less) fragile hardware, sometimes including collateral damage to tissues.

I like the humour in INFRA



(hint: the bottom left corner)

A very familiar problem:


pibbuR who just 2 hours ago searched his storage areas for a specific type of USB cable (or a compatible adapter), but couldn't find any. Note to himself: remember to tidy up said storage areas before the wife notices.

Never heard of INFRA until now, but I just bought it after checking out the Steam page.

I thought INFRA was some kind of London Tube ? The picture looks to me like that …

No, but you're correct, the picture was taken in the metro. It's taking place all over an imaginary city, you play the role of a structural engineer who must assess the infrastructure of several facilities.

Ah, I see.
I understand it better now.

In honor of the Warhammmer festival this week on Steam.
