thread_title: Historic/cultural associations

message: In this section there's currently this paragraph:
: Further complicating the matter is that many cities, particularly in the Midwest and Southwest, have been laid out in blocks that are approximately 0.1 mile on a side. For example, the average block size between 15th street and 115th street in Chicago is 0.12 miles (0.2 km). As such, a 10 block journey is about 1.2 miles (2 km). A conversion to kilometres would foil this system.
This makes me wonder why this is not a reason for the metric system, since it seems easier to me to do the math with metres or kilometres than with miles or yards.
I found out that the block size in Chicago is not 0.12 miles, it's in fact exactly one furlong. I doubt that many people in the US measure distances in furlongs or chains (=0.1 furlong), so for the more practical units: One furlog is an 8ths (=0.125) statute mile or 220 yard. In metrical units it's 201.168m. If you calculate with 200m or 0.2km or you make an relative error of less than 0.6%, OK for everydays use IMHO and better than most maps. So the conversions are (at least) as easy with metres (* or /200) and kilometres (/ or * 5) as miles (/ or * 8) and still easier than with distances given in yards (or feet). Maybe the paragraph should be removed, I don't see anything with kilometres foiling this system here for Joe Average. - Alureiter 16:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Perception of impracticality in the United States 

message: Large supermarkets in the UK have also attempted to undermine the metrication process. They place small metric price signs on the edges of shelves and use these to claim they are pricing in metric. However, all around the store are very large signs advertising the products purely in Imperial units. They claim that the law requires them to price in metric but does not require them to advertise in metric.. Does this still go on? I can't recall having ever seen this, but certainly not lately. Perhaps its just my local supermarket that doesn't do this. My point really that unless anyone has seen an example of this, we should either modify this to say "formerly" this occured, or remove it. --Ooblick 18:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

All of these names conflict with later engines from the 70's onwards.

Toyota themselves usually identified them as Type A, etc, but they also did that for the later engines.

message: Should this say "....recognise it as the most dangerous spider or most "venomous" spider. After all the next paragraph suggests it's not dangerous!
:Well, "venomous" is relative.  Some of the more venomous spiders are relatively harmless to humans, while the spiders with venoms that are harmful to humans may only possess or inject very small amounts of it.  So, "dangerous" to the extent that a bite poses a danger to humans.
I just saw on National Geographic Channel's World's Most Dangerous Animals that there has indeed been one confirmed case of this spider biting a human causing death. -- œ™ 00:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it makes a good case. Both suspected bites occurred during expeditions to seek out and study this exact spider; simply because interaction between this spider and humans is so rare, it can't be called that dangerous, no matter how potent its venom actually is. Cf. aggressive spiders living in heavily populated areas (Brazilian wandering spider and Sydney funnel-web spider in particular), which to me represent a far greater threat to human health (and have far higher death tolls). --DragoonWraith (talk) 06:14, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

However, one of those cases resulted in a fatality, and the other (as I've heard it) required the amputation of the bitten arm. Obviously the extremely low number of samples make any kind of statistical statement somewhat farcical, but if you do look at it as a 50% death rate... that is by far the highest of any spider in the world. --DragoonWraith (talk) 06:14, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Văcărești, Bucharest

message: Very glad to see this article started. One I wanted to see, but don't know enough to write myself.
Some questions:
# What exactly are the geographical limits of Văcăreşti? If I understand correctly, when we say "completely torn down by Ceauşescu" that isn't quite right: for example the State Jewish Theater remains, as do a few other buildings right near it, and I'm sure they count as part of Văcăreşti. I also remember a church about a block north of there that still survives, and seem to remember a couple of intact streets of houses, though these last might have been outside of Văcăreşti proper.
# To what extent does Văcăreşti intersect the devastated area that became known as Hiroshima?
# "Almost all the Jews emigrated to the newly-created state of Israel after World War II." That seems an oversimplification. As I understand it, the Jews left in a more or less steady stream over the course of decades. We shouldn't oversimplify that. And there was significant Jewish life in the quarter for at least a generation after the war. The State Jewish Theater was performing almost entirely in Yiddish without simultaneous translation into Romanian into the 1970s: that speaks volumes.
