“The Time Has Come for Britain’s Anti-Zionist Jewish Groups to Unite”

@palestine

“British & Western support for #Zionism is not because of their concern for Jews but because of their own #imperial interests. [..] It is for that reason alone that it is incumbent upon Jews who are not Zionists to say in both words & deed that what Israel does is *not in my name*”

One bolt, the size of 1/2158th of a standard double-door fridge’s width.
That makes total sense, doesn’t it? Apparently, for one nation it does and some other small country on this boulder we live on. So I needed a small mounting bolt for my, american made, weapon. Silly me assumed that this was standard thread that everyone is using, but no. Eventually, after a lot of measuring…

A company I bought shoes from last year offered to send me shoes if I wore and reviewed them, and they arrived today in a Saturday surprise. I had NO idea what they'd look like. They have PLENTY of sole... I was 6'3" before, I'm 6'5" or 6'6" now. 😄 They look like Imperial shoes on Coruscant in Andor, and they're comfortable so far. 😊

Fairytale Units btw is the SI name for anything in the Imperial measuring system.* Based on the fact that imperial not only is a witch's brew of childish units that don't go together, but also that things are based on barley corns. Barley corns. One inch was originally defined as three barley corns, and if that isn't some fairytale shit I don't know what is.

*no need to look it up, just accept it as true.

My new idea is to use Roman miles instead of imperial. They’re 1,479 km or thereabouts (it’s an approximation and wasn’t fixed anyway) so i can just round it to 1,5km. Easy to convert to sane measures.

Now i just need to find an imperial measurements user to impress/confound. “Oh, you don’t mean Roman miles? What empire are you referring to?”

Roman miles make more sense than using 996 and 9/16ths Rods or whatever a mile is based on.
