I find it mildly amusing that fully metric countries are seemingly stuck with some standardized measurements based on imperial units. Like how a soccer/football goal is 8 feet x 24 feet / 7.32 m x 2.44 m. Or how a standard shippin

I think legacy USB peripherals are very common. Almost all of my peripherals are legacy USB; I think I only own a single USB-C peripheral. Old stuff still works, so I don't need to buy new ones.

A justification I read once is that the human immune system evolved to deal with a certain amount of pathogens. If you don’t have enough exposure to pathogens, the immune system still tries to do its job, but winds up attacking non-pathogen

Analogies don’t have to be 100% perfect. The Confederate analogy gets the point across just fine.
