I'll give it a shot, but I think it will make more sense for me to make the conversion from meters to years without using light years. I'm a chemist, not a physicist and don't want to look up the conversions I don't remember.

The sun travels ~940,000,000 km/human year...

= 940,000,000 km/yr × 1000 m/km = 940,000,000,000 m/yr

= 940,000,000,000 m/yr × 1 year/365.256 days

= 2573537464.1 m/day × 1 day/24 hr × 1 hr/60 min × 1 min/60 s

= 29786.3132423 m/s

16 m × 1 s/29786.3132423 m = 0.000537 s (human)

The dog is about half a millisecond old (in human years).

I found some human-to-dog years calculator online that cites a scientific paper. The formula it uses is:

Human years = 16 × ln(Dog years) + 31

Therefore... Dog years = e^(((Human Years-31)^)/16)

To use the dog calculator, it's easier to start back at m/yr.

16 m × 1 year/940,000,000,000 m = 1.70212765E−11 human years

Human to dog years = e^(((1.70212765E−11)^-31)/16)

= 0.14406 dog years x 365.524 dog days / 1 dog year

= 52.6 dog days.

The human to dog year equation isn't meant for times less than 0.001 human year, so take the dog days number with a grain of salt.

Hopefully I didn't mess anything up along the way, I did this all on the phone and it's harder to double-check than on paper!

True communism is drinking Diet Coke instead of regular Coke.

Casual misogyny. "I don't hate women!" Doesn't hate the idea of women serving men's desires.

Yes, I was confused at first.

What if He was just a meme that got out of control?

Agreed.

For instance, G Suite is now so thoroughly integrated into school workflows that, even if they collect nothing from students while under 13 (ha!), they are setting kids up to harvest their data in the future by forcing them to learn how to perform basic tasks only on their apps. It's like advertising fruity cigarettes or vapes, but for data.

It's not just that all of these companies harvest everyone's data, but so many of them are specifically targeting kids from as young of an age as they can.

You don't have to care what I think if you read and make an informed decision on your own. As it is, I suspect you didn't bother to read the link?

You are confusing the term candidate and nominee.

Both Biden and Trump were candidates. Trump is now the Republican nominee, Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee.

You're confused because they don't know what they're talking about.

Nominees are the candidates selected by their party. Candidates are those who are campaigning for a position. Neither term is conferred by actually appearing on the ballot (a nominee can drop out before the election), but being officially nominated by their party is how they will get on the ballot.
