      I have to tell you, that Action Park shit is still sitting with me… 😂

      Seriously though, thanks for managing that community, it’s a good 'un. I’ve woken up many a morning to a wiki page you led me to lol

      E: also, it’s 3:45am now, am feeling a little called out by op (though I had actually gone to sleep at 10pm too, it’s just that I’ve woken up since 😭)

      The DIN A Paper format is magical though. (See CGP Gray video)

        There are actually B, C and D formats with the same properties, just scaled up or down slightly if you need something in between, for example B4 is basically A3.5, C4 is A3.75 and D4 is A4.25 if you plug it into the power-of-2 formula. (Later, C and D were removed because very few people used the quarter-steps.)

        There are a lot of important standards. The hight of a door lever, a light switch or an average stair for example.

          Yes, and many are very old. Like 1920-ish old. So they slightly update them and invalidate those that become public domain. They are systematically milking standards for money and making it harder to enter industries legitimately. Maybe more money-burning start-ups and their investors would care about standards if the red tape wasn’t behind a paywall. Now they just wing it and hope to IPO before their violations cause loss of life a public image problem.

    I couldn’t sleep yesterday so I started reading about LVADs (heart pumps) and saw some animal testing pictures and then I couldn’t sleep.

    Been trying to do more reading before bed. I think avoiding backlit screens helps me transition to sleep more easily. I really recommend an eInk based ereader to anyone who likes reading but hasn’t tried one.

    It’s literally 3:43 AM for me now. And I also had the intention going to bed early today
