1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg.
1kg (of anything) is 1000g.
1g of water is 1cm³.
Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column.
This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base.
To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.
And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

I had to google how many inches are in 7 feet.
And I think that's stupid.

Edit: Dear Americans; I require 7 feet in fathoms.

May get even more impossible if #America keeps trying to become #Iran 2.0 especially in terms of #digital rights: Having a secure smartphone gets in the way since thought control is hard, how can we "fight crime" if people are able to think and communicate so freely?!

Also difficult to purchase one in #Europe at least my side of it. Not because of laws thankfully, but because devices like #Librem #Purism #PinePhone aren't readily sold in stores here even online which sucks horribly.

An #anthropologist attends a #CPAC conference ( #conservative #RightWing #America) and reports on their findings of the attitude towards #trans folks.

This being @SAPIENS_org, it is well thought through, fully supportive of trans folks and focused on debunking some of the #myths that the right perpetuate.

I'm really pleased to see serious #academic #writing focused on supporting trans folks. Will the right wing read this? Probably not. Will people who are unaware of the attacks trans folk experience every day read this? Quite probably. Will it help to increase understanding, empathy and allyship? I sincerely hope so.
