Good luck finding any nontrivial law that applies to each and every instance of a human construct. “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” until you show up at a store with 10 kilograms of 1-cent coins. A single violation (or even many) don’t mean the underlying law (or rule or principle or guideline or whatever ‘less strict’ version you want to call it) is bad.

Newton’s gravity is wrong. There’s no arguing about that. But still every middle-schooler around the world learns it because it is ‘good enough’ in all but extraordinarily special cases.

The “accident” should be conception, not birth.

WHY IS 3) SLANTED⁈

That’s the sensible thing to do. You can’t do everything. So if you’re going to fail anyway, you might as well do it lying down.

At least the punctuation made sense. I could follow the story.

I feel like I should’ve spotted that… they’re the same units. 🤦

Why km/h (or mph) and not ft/year? Because the numbers have a nicer magnitude then.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

That’s pressure.

In Germany we ask apprentices to fetch a spare bubble for the spirit level.
