Channel 9 News (Australia) (scum of the fucking earth) pushing the insect eating agenda

Every time I see the "eat bug's" push I think nope bug's are bait to catch fish.

Yeah he steered clear of answering that question...... Sort of rather conspicious by the absence of a straight answer...

Yeah they called it Silver something....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: They're apparently calling it Copi.

@Councilof1: Silver Fan - 4:15 + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZqIdGi87k

@Councilof1: Which video is the fish and renaming it Copi in?

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: No I ran across the renaming on a fishing site. You posted a video about carp, I forget what it was about, and not long after I can across the article about them renaming Asian carp, there's four specie's actually, Copi so they can fool people into eating it.

@Councilof1: Yeah a lot of that goes on... Even in Australia they call the same foods 10 different names, depending upon where in Australia it is.... and "The Aussies", and the Greeks, Lebanese, Turkish, all call the same or similar foods way different names - partly language, partly translations, partly reigons....

@Councilof1: Some places they call LONG power cords, EXTENSION leads, and other places they call them extension CORDS...

I like the idea of BEING RIGHT - not for ego points - but for being technically correct...... This is one of the great things about STANDARDS and everyone conforming to it... I have a sort of international dictionary of measurement systems - like a HUGE amount of them and from all around the world and from many times - and Jesus Fuck - you have NO IDEA just how fucking GOOD the metric system is, until you have read it.... post me your email address in the private message, and I will send it when I go back to another system in the next few days....

@Councilof1: For instance - wire - especially copper wire is drawn (pulled through smaller and smaller holes in hard ceramic or metal blocks) to make finer and finer wire.... BUT (Jesus Fuck) the wire I was after was 0.023 mm - copper wire that was like say coarse hair.... BUT (double fucking Jesus) there is AWG, American Wire Gauge sizing, there is BS or British Standards, and then The Brown Gauge System... And the Edison System, where the GAUGE is set of company specific ratios, based upon what they came up with, which is a SIZE, based NOT upon the actual measured size, but upon their own system... It's not 11 thousandths of an inch in diameter, its a 47B gauge instrument wire... AND (double tripple fucking Jesus) the cunts who do all of the concersion tables... well MOST of them have inaccuracies and or are just fucking wrong..... So 48 Gauge Brown and Shaw wire is close to 0.023 mm wire, but these cunts were slack in their calculations and it's actually 0.039 mm in diameter not 0.023 mm, and the cunts also count the thickness of the varnish coating, so the wire it's self is 0.033 mm - And the closest to the Brown and Shaw Gauge sizes are the American Wire Gauges... but they use a lettering and numberng system.. and again the conversions are imprecise... and not based upon mechanical measurements. They are their own idiot systems - and the American shit - doesn't have an equivalent in all of the scentific standards and values from all the different countries... etc...

@Councilof1: It just just makes you REALLY appreciate international standardisation, where a measurment is actual a distance and not an empirical company specification.... The same thing goes on with weights, measures volumes - like the LONG ton, the SHORT ton, the US gallon and the UK gallon - which are 3.75 liters and 4.5 liters respectively... So US 5 gallon fuel tanks hold like 18 liters and not the UK gallon equivalent of 22.5 liters...

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: that's funny you mentioned gallons. I grew up during the Metric conversion. So as a kid we used British, American and Metric measurements. It was crazy.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I'm between email accounts at the moment. I can't get into my account.

@Councilof1: One of the most interesting things in this PDF dictionary was the weight of battle ships - the actual MASS of the damned thing, vs the assorted measuring systems.... 25,000 tons of metal on the scales... displacement calculations, just fucking bullshit - where a "ton" isnt a "ton"
