Darcy’s introduction in Pride and Prejudice is really ‘what if you had just had the worst month of your life because your ex-bestie tried to lover boy scam your baby sister out of her share of your dad’s life insurance and your friend dragged you to a shitty party in a dive bar in the neighbourhood where he’d just signed a short term lease, and you decided to let your bad mood show because you were never going to see any of the assholes in this stupid shitty bar EVER again. And your friend ended up making out with a girl he’d just met there while you were stuck talking to her sister who was less cute and then her mother appeared and started trying to matchmake and started saying how if she was twenty years younger she’d clime you like a redwood and ooooh is that a black Amex, guess the next round is on you hahhahahahaha, while her other sister (how many fucking sisters does she have?!) flashed an obviously fake ID at the bar and ordered six vodka-diet red bulls and no one in her family except the less-cute sister even tried to stop her. And you went home and consoled yourself that you would never see any of these people again but then you met them over and over again because they live next door and your friend and the cute sister keep meeting up to make out but not actually date and then. You fall in love with the less-cute sister because it turns out she’s really witty and charismatic but she already knows and remembers and resents the fact that on a day when you were in a shitty mood you called her mid out loud in a dive bar.’

The other day I had a confusing conversation with a physicist who used "mil" to mean "millimeter," instead of the expected "one thousandth of an inch." He was like "can we do a 5 mil assembly tolerance" and I was like well I'll just go die in the swamp ok then!! Fine!!!

[bucketofdeltav]

...I don’t know where you're based, but I've worked in engineering fields (deliberately vague) on three continents including briefly in the USA, and I've literally never heard 'mil' used (verbally) to mean anything other than 'millimetre'. In writing, 'mil' is not a word denoting a unit, to me - 'mm' is millimetre. As it should be.

'Five mil assembly tolerance', if I heard it said out loud, means the requester is using a commonly understood verbal abbreviation and either this is a big structure, or they really don't care if it fits. Written, it means nothing.

[literallymechanical]

I often hear "thou" for tolerance and "mil" for thickness, even though those both mean "one thousandth of an inch." As in, I could look for 60 mil sheets, with 5 thou tolerance. This is insane and bad.

[andmaybegayer]

mil is particularly common in electronics, where a lot of older components are imperial-standardized, e.g. the headers on PCB devboards being 2.54mm spaced. Nowadays most parts are metric standard but we still use some part footprints that are Extremely Imperial.

My favourite gotta be tenth, which means "tenth of a thousandth of an inch"

Guess why the neutral beam injector neutralization cells at ITER (international collaboration, but based in France) are 25.4 meters long

hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.
