Gothmog was possibly not an orc 😜

EM and gravitational waves are seen as analogous because as I wrote, they are produced by acceleration of charges and masses, respectively. The physics behind them is very different (described by Maxwell's equations for EM and Einstein field equations for GW), but all systems that have waves in them (including sound in the air, waves on the surface of water etc.) can be approximated as linear for small perturbations, which means that they satisfy the wave equation at that regime.

It's not me who didn't use a tool, it was the other guy.

I think younger people in Canada only know °F if their thermostat is set to it and they can't or don't bother to change. My stupid fridge is in Fahrenheit and that can't be changed (even though the handbook shows the display in Celsius! A variation of the model is probably sold abroad).

I think Canada properly adopted Celsius, kilometres, litres and millilitres (at least here in Toronto), but all other metric units are the underdog. Even CBC, that is probably the only media outlet that tries to stick to metric will specify people's height in feet and inches. Shameful.

Yes, I have a 14h reminder to drink 1L of water, which is my entire daily intake. I have this reminder because without it I may well drink nothing at all and not even realize.

It's a paraphrased quote from a TV show

Also note that if it's just for personal use, you don't have to have a domain for HTTPS. You can self sign, or create your own certificate authority, you just need to clients to trust it. But domains can be cheap or even free, so it's better to get one so you don't have to specially configure your devices.

I watched 899 of them at least one time (decided to skip the musical episode of SNW)

Kimchi and cheese is a surprisingly good combo. I especially like kimchi with chijeu tteokbokki, which are cheese-filled Korean rice cake.

That is not my experience.
