Measurements that confuse me

    Nearly everything in the world can be measured by numbers and the higher the number the more/bigger the item is. However, some things don’t follow this obvious numbering scheme and they make my head hurt.

Women’s clothes

      Let’s assign an arbitrary number instead of a measurement. Now let’s skip every other number. And let’s make 0 a size. 

 

     How can 0 be a size? It should be the absence of a size. But it gets even worse. What if it’s smaller than a size 0? Well let’s call that a double 0. So somehow 00 is smaller than 0. Obviously the creators of this system were not mathematicians.

Bed sizes

A twin bed is the smallest bed. From the name of it, you’d think it could fit 2 people, but it can’t. 

     Then you look at the other sizes: Full, Queen, King. So maybe a twin is just half a full? That would make sense, because as we all know, a twin is only half of a full person. But 2 twins don’t make up a Full anyway. 2 twins would be wider than a full. However, 2 twins would be the same width as a Queen, but not the same length. Confused yet? At least King and Queen make sense, it’s easy to tell which on is bigger. But it gets tricky when you get bigger than King. There’s a California king that’s even bigger. So I guess everything is bigger in Cali? I thought everything was bigger in Texas. Maybe they should just go by playing cards and call it an Ace. How about just calling them by their length and width measurements? Nah, far too easy.

Wire gauge

So the smaller the number, the bigger the wire? 

     That’s really confusing. So say I’ve got a 12 ga. Wire and that’s not big enough. So I’ll switch to something bigger. How about 2 ga.? No that would be way too big. What's the biggest size you have? Size 0. Huh?
 
 

 

Tennis scoring

   The first point you win in a game is worth 15 points. So is the 2^nd. But the 3^rd is only worth 10. I’m not even gonna get into deuce. For example, if I win the first 2 points of a game, the score would be 30-0. Now if you win the next point, you get 15 points. However, if I were to win that point, it would only be worth 10. That’s racist.

But here’s where they really get me. Every time someone wins a game, there score is increased by 1. Then when they win enough games, their number of sets is increased by 1. When they win enough sets, they win the match. So the creators of tennis scoring understand how to keep it simple and add 1 for every game won, or every set won, but chose not to do so for every point won.

On to the most confusing measurement system

Light bulbs

They have different sizes, but they are labeled with letters.

I can’t even argue why it is a bad system because I have no idea how it works. I just match the letter of what I need, or I bring the burnt out bulb with me. Good luck getting the right one, cause I can’t help you.

dumb on fb

I couldn't have said it better myself, could have spelled it better though. also, punctuation wouldn't hurt.  oh yeah, and i could have said it better, too.

Blaming a black man for wearing a hoodie as the main reason he was shot and killed is almost the same thing as blaming a female who is wearing a mini skirt as the main reason she got raped. It's stupid ludacris and insulting. Ps: not everyone wearing a hoodie is in support of Tayvon. All of this distractions are just ment for us not to focus on the true tradgety. A young man lay dead and his murder walks free. No Justice No Peace



some of the comments on this post make me feel like this 

(this is a future meme as well)

example:
Sasha Yeah i do knw who zimmerman is and i dnt think there starting a race war i think there stating facts.racsuim still is here ppl an thats wat needs to be recongized.an wat happend to travon proves it an ppl dnt want to except it for wat it is.as for ur question if they beat them up based off there race yes they r racists.but they have all right to preach equality and fairness an b angry that ppl r still threat black ppl like dirt and killing there children.question for u is it ok for a white cop to beat a black person for looking sneaky or sucpisous becuz of wat he has on is he a racist.

MMA Discussion - Nick Diaz

No idea if you guys have heard yet but the rematch might be off. The Nevada State Athletic Commission Tuesday announced that Nick Diaz has tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his UFC 143 decision loss to Carlos Condit.

He'll probably fight this (or not) but he does have a medical marijuana card. This is like Pride all over again.

On April 10, 2007, the Nevada State Athletic Commission announced that Diaz failed the drug test that was taken shortly before his win over Takanori Gomi, testing positive for marijuana. The NSAC declared the fight a "No Contest" and suspended him for 6 months with a fine of 20% of his earnings ($3,000) won from the fight against Gomi. The Commission felt that the result of Diaz's THC test, an enormous 175, was a contributing factor in his performance during the fight. Commission Chairman Dr. Tony Alamo said that while a result of 15 is considered positive, the NSAC has a threshold of 50 for athletes. He also believes they "feel very comfortable that everyone that tests positive in Nevada is truly positive."

They basically believe that it would make a normal human being numb from pain if their THC levels are too high.

"Nick....I am dissapoint".

But how did I get a virus....I've never downloaded anything off the internet?

I went to fix a computer that had a virus....and the person gave me the bs excuse that they never use the internet for anything other than transactions and updating their watches online. This is what I found in their downloaded history.

There was more (apparently you can download teh newdz on certain websites) but I won't get into it. This was the computer that holds all their customer info, point of sale, cash register, etc. The virus is so bad that it took me over 2 hours to backup their point of sale software and transfer to another computer.

Also the genius had an animated background (Matrix) and told me that the computer is slow but not because of his background.
