Huh, I was not expecting an integer.
<rqou>
lol
<UmbralRaptop>
!wa 1 acre-foot in gallons
<Qboid>
UmbralRaptop: convert 1 acre foot to gallons: 325853 gallons
<rqou>
the first time i ever heard of acre-feet was when i took an elective on the history of California
<rqou>
for obvious reasons acre-feet play quite a significant role
<UmbralRaptop>
Mulholland was as best I can tell an evil genius <_<
<UmbralRaptop>
Incidentally, 1 gallon is 231 cubic inches, in case you wanted a system where converting between linear and volumetric units always requires a calculator.
<rqou>
heh
<rqou>
!wa 1 bushel in teaspoons
<Qboid>
rqou: convert 1 bu (US bushel) to teaspoons: 7149 tsp (teaspoons)
<rqou>
oh wtf this is also an integer?
<UmbralRaptop>
Oh, good. It's a composite number
<UmbralRaptop>
… 3*2383
<rqou>
hmm i just thought of something even more cursed
<rqou>
!wa 1 acre-foot in minims
<Qboid>
rqou: convert 1 acre foot to US minims: 2.002×10^10 US minims
<UmbralRaptop>
minim?
<rqou>
trololo
<UmbralRaptop>
1/60 of a dram? o_O
<UmbralRaptop>
And I thought using CGS units for stars was silly.
<rqou>
what about measuring capacitance in centimeters because CGS?
<UmbralRaptop>
okay, E&M in CGS is impressively cursed.
<rqou>
more or less cursed than apothecary units?
<UmbralRaptop>
hard to say.
<rqou>
oh i just remembered something even more cursed
<rqou>
traditional chinese medicine apothecary units :P
<rqou>
i completely don't know how to use them or what they're even called in english
<rqou>
also supposedly there are nonzero incidences of medication errors due to somebody confusing grams vs grains
<UmbralRaptop>
aaaaaaaaa
<rqou>
!wa 1 grain in grams
<Qboid>
rqou: convert 1 grain to grams: 0.0648 grams
<UmbralRaptop>
!wa 1 gram in grains
<Qboid>
UmbralRaptop: convert 1 gram to grains: 15.43 grains
<UmbralRaptop>
aaaaaaaa
<UmbralRaptop>
What level of cursed is 648000/π au in a pc? (note that this also implies sin(x) = x)

UmbralRaptop: should I make the same gif up to degree and order 180 instead of just 90,
<egg|zz|egg>
degree and order 360 looks like ftp://ftp.csr.utexas.edu/pub/grace/GGM05/GGM05C_anomalies_0km_smoothing.png but I'd need more resolution to show it properly which would take ages
