wire.
--------- True enough- But I like to minimise those losses. If the wire size is "controlling the electricity" then the "bag" becomes more expensive than the stuff in the bag.

The picotera is a handy dimensionless scaler. I use it all the time.

Yep, the tera is a nice dimensionless unit. Associate it with the vagueness multiplicator which is etce, and you have a handy quantizing operator applicable to whatever you want.

That's feminine beauty, specifically.

And could we include the millihelen as the measure of beauty that would launch just one ship.
Right. The corresponding masculine unit of beauty is the KiloLarkin.

who almost ripped an 800-foot LASH ship off the dock once, turning a trimpot too far.
Actually, I guess I did almost launch a ship. I was tweaking a nonlinear function generator in the throttle control system I'd designed, and managed to get up to almost 50 RPM before the ship's engineer ran over and shut me down. It was tied up at Avondale Shipyards (on the Mississippi river) with all sorts of gangways and welders cables and hoses and stuff connected; I could have easily killed a few people and set a ship loose in the river and become famous. Now I do VME modules mostly, a bit safer.
LASH meant Lighter Aboard Ship, a freighter that picks up and carries loaded barges.

Yeah, scairy thought. The she-Larkins are a lot more presentable.

I reference the WTF: Want through Financiable... Especially in computer games ( ego-shooters especially ) you often hear people shouting "WTF" ... This is the request: I want what that guy used ( Skill / Cheat / Equipment ) but as they don't know what it would cost them ( In training, time or money ) they shout "WTF" to get a hint on the requireent for it.
a WTF is defined as : Want: Either 0 ( not interested ) or 1 ( want to have ) Through: Divided by Financiable: 1 ( hour training, download & install-time, 1 hour work to get the money to buy the stuff ) Values range by this only seldomly above 1, values of 0 are of no interest, typical values for mechanical items like car-equipment are about 0.0125 to
0.25 WTF, Cheats are usually 0.75 to 1 WTF and skill-related WTF's often are about 0.125 to 0.5 WTF-- Hochachtungsvoll Rüdiger

So... one beauty is a Kilolarkin? Boy, thats a lot of Larkins!

1 kiloLarkin = 1 femptoTaylor (We all pull the chicks in our own cool ways......):-)

The "Libro" is also suggested as a new quantitive unit. This would represent the completion and publishing of one book.
The subdivision of the base unit would enable authors to respond in a meaningful manner when queried about progress.
