Quantum foam, what?

[SealyStar]

I have my own units. For example, a "qaeda" (symbol: Q) is a measurement of virginity equal to 72 virgins; if 72000 people attend a comic book convention, that's a kiloqaeda (kQ).

you will be receiving some calls from extremist groups soon on copyright infringement.

1 hectare = 1m²
1 stère = 1m³
1 chore = 1m⁴

One of these things is not like the others...

err. Isn't 1 hectare 1hm²?

Wow, did I misread things.

REVISED
1 centare = 1m²
1 stère = 1m³
1 chore = 1m⁴

One of these things is still not like the others...

I wonder what the seconds to metres conversion is. Assuming you're using the standard accepted 4th dimension, that is.

My warlord is being a dick.

In our clan dojo in warframe, one of us claimed an elevator, because he likes to play with it. Going up&down for hours, you see...
So, being an Architect, I am able to put a message on the message board officially instating this room as his. Totally harmless, right?
Our warlord apparently ranted about it and deleted the message. Furthermore, he refused to temporarily instate me as warlord. I proposed that because I have a fuckton of cash and I could pay the 150 platinum necessary to put a custom clan logo. On the basis that I would instantly kick him...

I put it back as this: "Super Ethical Fun Ride #[name of the player who claimed it] #yolo #swag #illuminatiworldwideconspiracy"

Then I went to the most remote part of the dojo, a lone reactor somewhere, put a sigil hidden on the far wall and a message on the console reading like that: "Social HQ of the Rebellion".

He deleted the message (not the sigil though) and demoted so I am no longer able to place rooms, decorations or room messages.

The only one of us he's still listening to sent him a link from LetMeGoogleThatForYou: Humor.

He's still thinking that we're conspirating against him and refuse to change his mind.

We bought every single weapon blueprint available and are preparing for all out war.

He basically made the conspiracy real by being obsessed about it and being a paranoid, humorless dick.


As soon as he reinstate me as Architect, I'm sooo demolishing all the dojo, refund everyone, and leg it.

I'm referring to a fourth dimension, not necessarily the one of Minkowski space. If we could somehow invent a tape measure that's pulled by time, we could figure out the conversion.

Perhaps if we could work out the difference in relative time between a stationary object and a light speed object after it has traveled a metre.....

1 second = 299792458 meters, or a light-second.

Isn't that convenient?

Kaian, what clan, and please, please follow up with the rest of the story once it goes through. This is some popcorn-worthy drama.

Sporemania, a ghost clan mainly formed of the eponymous forum (french fans of Spore, founded years before the game got out and pretty much died with it, save for a dozen of us who stayed for the community. Games like Minecraft saved us.) Our warlord is well known in the forum for his... temper, and left recently after the elevator-member (his closest friend in the community as far as I can tell) finally snapped and told him to stop acting like a paranoid abusive girlfriend.
Apparently he's angry at everyone right now and I believe on the verge of kicking all of us out.

So I just got charged $278 for the privilege of talking to a doctor and some nurses for 20 minutes, so they could advise me to schedule a procedure I already asked for. That's roughly 1/8th of my monthly paycheck that I didn't need to spend.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE FUCKING HATE HEALTHCARE IN THIS COUNTRY. I spent an hour and a half sitting around, after my scheduled appointment time, for these professionals to bilk me out of my money. I asked my primary physician for this procedure. He recommends a consult with specialists. These specialists bill me so they can tell me I'm going to need the procedure I fucking asked for. How is this not some giant fucking game to extract money from people in the name of "good health."

So let's see. That's $500, minus my insurance, divided by the actual amount of time these people spent addressing my problem. That comes out to......WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING MONEY FOR THE PIDDLY SERVICE YOU JUST RENDERED ME.

Surgery? Fine, I can understand that costing thousands of dollars. Specialized equipment, special skills, what have you. Your fucking opinion is worth several hundred dollars an hour? FUCK YOU. And FUCK YOU for making me wait more than an hour for the handful of minutes it took to tell me what I already fucking knew. Jesus christ, I should have just said "No to the consult, schedule the procedure or jump into a fucking fire."

Seriously, if this is the reality of having insurance and going through the medical system like a normal, tax paying citizen, then fuck it all. Why should I pay money into a system when all it does is cost me money? A system where they're ethically obligated to treat you anyways? Is it any wonder people just go to the emergency room when something is wrong, and just avoid consults, premiums and the whole fucking thing altogether?

Eh, if he kicks everyone out, then it'd be almost identical to HIM being the one kicked out.

You still get charged if you go to the emergency room. And unless you have a serious problem you have to wait there for many more hours. 
Price is still BS thou.  Unless that incuded scheduling the appointment, preparation for the appointment, and all that other stuff.

So apparently Warframe is very different to how I thought it was.
