  • There is a trick that may or may not work in this circumstance - tell them your baggage is already in the hold. If they know you aren’t on the plane, they would have to unload the plane to recover the baggage. It’s worked with me once, where the gate staff called the pilot, who told them to let me through.

    I know that. But practically, if you are trying to measure 1/3 of an arbitrary distance, or 1/3 of an arbitrary weight, you are not going to be able to hit the exact, precise measurement using normal household or kitchen tools. Therefore your origin assertion that 1/3 as a fraction is more accurate than decimal is meaningless, as you can’t actually utilise that extra precision.



  • An operating system isn’t a car or a machine that needs to maintain running hours for optimal performance. If I have an operating system that I only need for one specific function, and only use it for that function, once or twice a month, there is no reason that that operating system should fail to do the one thing I need it to do every time I turn it on.

    Yeah, but an unforgivable number of people simply don’t understand calories, or nutrition, or the benefits of excersise. Like, I know several overweight people, who are profoundly upset at being overweight, but refute the idea that managing calorie intake would help, _genuinely _ believe that all food is equal, and don’t believe excersise would help improve their health.
