WOTD - Sadness or disgusted
Sadness cause the Lakers are history for the year. disgusted on the unsportsmanlike (a new WOTD?) way they went down. Seems like they are taking lessons from another CA team - The Raiders....

Disinterested
🙂 Sorry, not meant about your comment. I am referring to pro sports. I ended my pro sports addiction on the second baseball strike. They don't need my money or attention, bunch of spoiled babies...
College sports is the last bastion of sports entertainment... but since I turned off the cable 11 years ago, I don't catch much of that either. I have been on Internet entertainment for a decade and I have never looked back
And you know what Joe, I understand what you mean. Especially about the disgusted. Another reason to never go back to it.
My condolences on the season... now what?

I fully understand where you are coming from. It took me almost 10 years to come back after giving up on the NBA after Dennis Rodman married himself. I said if I want to watch insanity - I could put on the WWF (apologies to all the wrestling fans out there...)
And now - maybe not even an NFL season for this year. I think I will join you and focus on college. I have been migrating towards then anyway so now is a good time to make the jump.

Except of course for electrical and magnetic units: those SI units are based on the BAAS units chosen in 1873, adopted internationally at the first IEC in 1881, and revised to fit MKS (again at BAAS instigation) instead of CGS at the second IEC in 1893; you can't get much more imperial than BAAS slap in the second half of Victoria's reign, except perhaps for Napoleon's hybrid system (les mesures usuelles - chosen personally by the Emperor of France - which fell out of usage a long time ago) or maybe some long disused Babylonian or Roman system of measurement. So we'll keep the imperial garbage for electricity and magnetism and use some of the metric garbage for mass, length, and volume (only some of it because the c,d,da, and h prefixes seem to be deprecated in SI).
I wonder which the candela counts as? It was firmly aimed at being equal to the British candlepower; that's where the magic number 60 came from in the original (1946) CIPM proposal for the "new candle" (renamed candela when CGPM 9 ratified the CIPM proposal in 1948) - of course that 60 changed from 60 to 600000 at CGPM 13 in 1967 (that was a CGS to MKS change: 1/60 cm^2 = 1/600000 m^2) and changed again to 683 at CGPM 16 in 1973 (or maybe 683 and a bit) when it was redefined in terms of a source generating so many watts per steradian of monchromatic light at a particluar frequency: the definition in terms of radiation from a Plank body radiator surface of 1/600000 sq metres at the melting point of platinum (about 3215 °F) at a standard pressure (101.325 Pa, about 1 atm) was not useful - if you don't agree, try making one in your kitchen. Anyway, despite its British roots no-one thinks of it as an imperial measure.
