The stumbling block is "a strong belief". And one cannot get around the issue that "belief" does not equate to "fact".
One does have the right to their belief. But do not have the right to force others to base their "beliefs" on that belief.

I'm not sure what happened to the last notice I got like this from a few months back. I never got the check. But, anyway, I'm looking forward to this moola. Shouldn't be long.
It is my understanding that there is correspondence going your way stating that your position on the list noted in prior (vis-a-vis undisclosed recipients) notice placed you in the arrears. Please provide necessary bank information to pay for the claim against your account.
Reminder: Be certain to pay the postage due on mailed correspondence.

I like standards but WHY do we have to have so many of them?!
It just doesn't make any sense (or was that cents)

Good answer.
Re: Standards. Standards are determined as need arises for consistency and speed. Same thing with the number of coefficients.

Just curious - How many of you (men, only) have a mustache or beard of any kind? I had a mustaches for decades, and then I shaved it off. Now, I have a mustaches and chin whiskers. Since Covid, many more men have beards.
It is easier not to shave, especially large areas of the face.
I have had hair on my face since my last year in the Army. My last assignment allowed me to have a full beard.

One thing about the inch measurement that they never say 2/5 of and inch. They would rather say it's 13/32" which is close but about 0.006 longer.
Food for thought: Regardless of kind of measurement, Fractions do work the same way. E.G. 2/5-ths is the same ratio in inches as in centimeters.
It does make a difference when working with precision equipment. The actual difference is "0.00625" (13/32 v. 2/5). This is presuming that we are comparing apples with oranges. That can explain slippage in trying to build a widget.

I was being facetious...
I vaguely remember a mystery story about someone being done in by a spanner of that size (17/32 in). The detective had a rough time recognizing it.
PS.: Anyone see my Torx wrench?

The MAJORITY can't read a tape measure and subtract 11 and 5/8" from 18 and 7/16"; follow a cooking recipe with ounces, cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons; or calculate 41 pounds 12 ounces minus 18 pounds 15 ounces.
[18 7/16 in - 11 10/16 in = 6 13/16 in]
[41 lb 12 oz - 18 lb 15 oz = 22 lb 03 oz]
As for cooking, I use my own personal measurements accordingly. And I am "chemistry lab trained".

With the numbers of differing languages around the world, one uses whatever is at hand and whichever system that works. One learns how to work conversions.
The reason people demand their language to be the language of use is they are not open to managing the information they need. It is laziness.
I had a car for which the manual recommended two spanners, a phillips head screwdriver, and a flat head screwdriver to take down the whole car and motor. And that was sufficient equipment.

I'm glad you liked these pics so much, Tom. Those churches certainly were beautiful. I'm only posting these two. There were seven altogether, and we visited five.. But the other three were much the same, so I felt that enough was enough.
Individual churches, even those which were duplicated upon other structures, have their own identities in many ways. One is the features of the saints, for example. Another is the exact height of the church itself. In Chicago, St. Nicholas Cathedral was built around 1915. The language for the founders/parishioners was Ukrainian. Sts. Volodymyr and Olha Ukrainian Catholic Church was erected in 1969 two blocks south. This was done when the liturgy at St. Nicholas was changed to English. The latter was erected by those Ukrainians who wanted to maintain the liturgy in Ukrainian. To separate the two churches, the latter was also about two feet higher, "to be closer to god".
Defined by little things.

I'm not crazy about how the top of the photo ended up. The original has the top of the fountain; but it looks funny because the top of the building rendered in black as well. I may have to play around with it some more. For now the cut off top of the fountain is a compromise. I also wish they had turned the fountain on. As I was driving to the location, I kept imagining it with the fountain on.

A variation could be flipping the image horizontally. Cropping away the former upper region from the line of the floor to the new top.
