          It’s Saturday Night Live. It’s an American Humour* channel by the corpos.

          * the cringy type of humour - I do not understand why people like it. Oh well.

          That sucks - I keep hearing that kind of thing from more and more people, the last person telling me that in Canada. Fwiw, it is a Saturday Night Live sketch, poking fun at ourselves as to how we inconsistently use measurement schemes, like some less popular sports use meters, but the most popular ones use the English ones like feet. I wonder why it is blocked, wherever you are.

          If anyone knows, I would be interested in hearing: like should I not share YouTube videos anymore these days? Or only share/avoid certain corporate types? (Whereas certain others such as CPG Grey’s videos would truly be a tragic loss if they could not be shared) I presume Piped videos would likewise be blocked too? Are they blocked only in certain countries, or like most ones outside of the USA? Is the URL still useful, like to put into Vanced or some such, or would something else help better like the title, or again should I just not share them? I don’t know any of these answers but in any case, thank you for sharing with me your experience here.

            It depends which proxy piped.video happens to use at the moment. It’s a dice throw as far as I can see… I successfully watched the video this morning but neither yesterday nor right now the video is loading for me.

              Oh wow, I didn’t realize it differed on the client side, I presumed it was only server.

      A thousand Roman paces. A pace is two steps, each about 1m, so 1mi is about 2km. The conversion from paces to meters isn’t exact, and definitions have shifted over time.

      Multiply by Phi (1.6) / the Golden Ratio (still 1.6) to get km.

      Typically, this is what you need to know:

      100 miles = 160 km 60 miles = 100km

      That’s about 1609 times the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in one 299792458th of a second.
