That really doesn't come up often enough.

I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on this. Personally I think Russia is spent and would need at least 5 years to train new troops, build new tanks, etc to the point of waging an effective war at any scale, let alone against NATO. Could easily be 10 with continued sanctions. By that time Putin could easily be dead and I see nothing structural that could lead to the next Russian President wanting to wage a war. Just have to wait out Putin with sanctions.

Not much need to use Mm, it doesn't come up very often. So when it does it's easier to use thousands of km so as to not confuse people with "another" measurement.

Apparently they were going to use gram for what we now call kg, but decided to make it kg. I expect it's because we used grams so much for food.

Can we do 5E6 like on the calculators? Is that common enough?

You didn't specify dead or alive lion, so most assuredly yes when you include dead.

Have you seen the "does it spark joy" woman?

Rotation of the earth around its axis and rotation around the sun are different. (Technically there would be a very small change in solar day, but really the question is about rotation around the Sun.)

Sigh, yes everyone knows that ChromeOS is built on linux. That's not what people mean when they say running linux.

AFAIK Chromebooks can run Office 365 (the online one, whatever it's called now). Microsoft had to do that to try to keep Office relevant and accessible.

How do you break away from something you were programmed to use?

You don't, you get the next generation to use your product first. They start with chromebooks in elementary school now. That's the first computer kids will have and likely have all the way to grade 12 for school (after that is who knows what). Kids today will be programmed to use Chromebooks, not windows. That's my point.

Sigh. You said it yourself, somewhere. Not everywhere.

Not 100%, but most big businesses will.

Comparatively they are the newcomer by far. Remember when they first came out they were considered failed, then it took what 8 years later for them to start to become adopted much at all.

Yup their own purchasing decision and over half will have had bad experiences with the cheapest, slowest, pos Chromebooks their school bought. And they will want that sex appeal, look at me, luxury, Apple.
