  • Happy, that you dodged that bullet, op!

    May I use this opportunity to rage about the unit “PSI”? Feel free to ignore.

    PSI is a stupid measurement. Sensibly one would use Pascal, hectopascal or Bar (which is 100 kPa).

    But even within the us standard or imperial system it makes no sense. Pounds per square inch. Who uses s for square? It’s already taken by second. Square is the unit to the power 2. Pounds isn’t “p” either, it’s lbs aka “libras”. And inch is not “i”, it’s "

    So it should be lbs/"² .










  • Yep just look at the guilds. The Hansa (Hanseatic Trade League) owned several cities and harbours in the Baltic and North sea.

    In Frankfurt, an inventor developed an early form of steam engine, but was bullied and denied by the boatsmakers guild.

    Many interesting stories who are more than just peasants rolling in filth.

    And even the city republics would destroy the primitive view of Hollywood on the freedoms of the medieval person. Not to speak of the Dithmarschen peasant republic or the swiss confederation and their wars of independence against the HR Emperor.









  • “they” actually dont think, protecting vehicles from scratches is more important than protecting pedestrians.

    The protection of uninvolved persons or areas next to the road, as well as oncoming traffic, is literally in the guidelines of how to build guardrails (RPS).

    I’m as much ‘fuckcars’ as the next guy here, but please don’t post a picture from any random place on earth and blame “them”. Who’s them? The world ministry of transport?
