In other words… differently.
Newton’s theory of gravity … severely inaccurate.
Except it’s not - it’s accurate enough within certain limits to still be useful today. It’s only inaccurate in extreme cases. Relativity is more accurate, sure, but outside of the extremes, it’s more complex than Newton’s and not worth the extra trouble.
GPS wouldn’t work if you were correct.
Common misconception. It would work fine, just differently.
I’m super picky, but I like Hawaiian pizza, so I don’t think it’s that…
Base 16 is great when you’re interacting with a computer, but aside from that, not much. Only being divisible by 2 is kind of a pain in the real world.

I’ve been thinking this for years, but never been able to put it into words to convey the idea to someone else… emergent properties is a start…
Having been 21 once upon a time, yes, he’s a dumb ass kid.
Freedom isn’t free, it costs folks like you and me…
It’s like when Prince became “the artist formerly known as Prince”…
It’s difficult to monetize assholery, that’s exactly who reddit is chasing away…
Yeah, when I hauled my groceries by bicycle, I wouldn’t want the larger sizes… But I also wouldn’t be bitching out the person who isn’t involved in the decision process…
