24 hour time

[gfish]

I've been using 24 hour time almost exclusively for several years now. The switch was a no-brainer for me -- tacking on AM or PM is silly, and the math is easier this way. However, I wasn't raised with it, and of course I'm surrounded by less enlightened systems, so to my great shame I still find myself regularly thinking in 12 hour time.

I was just working on someone else's computer, when I glanced at the clock. It read 2:50, and I was momentarily confused at it suddenly being late at night. Woot! About time I started to internalize this. Now to stop thinking of pressure as PSI...

so, as an example, neuro applies the bar to your head with 320 N of force. the bar hits a the top of your head (it deforms slightly, but we'll approximate), it's 4cm wide and the impact area is 8cm long.

P = F/A, so that's what 100 kPa feels like.

or, you know.

a bar.
