Argh! You don't make things easy on me. I should perhaps not have said anything previously.

I may possibly regret asking this but do Onkian units equate Celsius units?

Or, could it be that 19.1 Onkian units equal something like minus 261 degrees Celsius, in which case, my poor KiwiBird, you must be as stiff as a Winter breeze in the Antarctic.

And showers at this temperature would look more like icicles being thrown at you.

Ah, the bar bell. Now I know why you go day in a day out to the bar. It is to train your shoulder press. You press your shoulder, holding that glass and down the hatch, right?



"Whilst partner holds all three below". Is that an expression to compete who drinks fastest 3 drinks?

Drink 1: The Plank - mix of rum, banana daiquiri and a Blue Lagoon
Drink 2: Glute Bridge Hold - another name for a Ramos Gin Fizz
Drink 3: Wall sit - also known as Sex on the Beach

I want to join. You seem to have a great time there while I sit at my desk, sober as a nun.

My favorite though is to hold the front rack. Now that is a great motivator.

Well done!

@KiwiBird Did you know that today was International
day?

@Stephie You need to do more research on Onkian temperature units. Maybe @sarabee1995 can help. ChatGPT came up with...
Best guess (fan consensus):

> 1 Onkian unit ≈ 1 Kelvin
19.1 Onkian units ≈ −253.9 °C
(Close to your guess)

However since in one episode a glass of water was ordered at 12 Onkian that calculation is obviously absurd.

@KiwiBird I was just guessing but thanks for the correction. Hope you are still as warm as a toast and not chilled 🤗
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Stephie Did you know they have cube shaped number twos....

Good eating too.....
But only legal for the first nations people. Tastes a lil like wild pork. The Wombat not the poo...
Stephie · F
@KiwiBird Interesting, interesting. I learn new things everyday with you, things even the Swiss cows cannot teach me 🫢
Stephie · F
@KiwiBird I am sure that you are still very chilled now. Did you really mean that the wombats tasted like wild port or perhaps more like wild pork?
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Stephie I was just checking your spell checker. Appears to be operational.
Stephie · F
@KiwiBird You give me nightmares. It is worse than a test, worse than the final exam to get that coveted diploma 🫢

@KiwiBird Thanks for BC. Let's hope that our Sailor that went to see, to see what she could see see see is not checking this mail because of potential jealousy.

@Stephie No jealousy here, Stephie, my dear. I do not seek glory, nor golden plaques on my walls.

As for Onkian Units, Google is your friend. Oh wait ... you rely instead on central European mountain cattle for your information.

If, instead, you had asked Google, you would now know:
An Onkian is a fictional unit of temperature used by the Romulans in the Star Trek universe. It is a cold-side temperature measurement; a specific example from an episode shows that 12 onkians is equivalent to a temperature on the colder side of the Celsius scale. When the Romulan Admiral Alidar Jarok requested water at 12 onkians, the ship's computer, which was calibrated to Celsius, did not recognize the unit and he had to clarify that he wanted water "on the cold side" of the scale, notes Memory Alpha.
Purpose: A unit of temperature used by the Romulans.
Known example: 12 onkians is a temperature on the cold side of the Celsius scale.
Usage: The unit is not recognized by Starfleet computers, which are calibrated to Celsius.

@sarabee1995 Yep, I am a believer of neutral female herbivore spotted cattle 🐄 rather than just giving all my data to that alphabet subdivision 😠

I am an anti-globalization citizen although I cannot totally escape it. That is the main reason, besides interacting with a few great people here, that I only have SW as social media.

@Stephie Google literally knows EVERYTHING about me. Android phone, Google maps built into my car, Google home smart speaker at home, Google drive backup of my life... And more.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Stephie However sometimes if you ask Google to do something....the tablet, phone, home speaker and Android TV all try and comply simultaneously....

I need an Android vibrator.

@sarabee1995 Lucky me. I have my bike and a built in map in my brain for my route from my home to uni as well as for the surrounding trails and paths for my jogging and biking. And should I ever get lost, I always have the UK cows, a very alive subdivision of Swisscows where I can ask for a "moo" to get me back home safely.

No Alexa here, no connected watch, a regular house key and when I need to swear or curse, I do it myself and don't ask Alexa to do it for me 🤬☠
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Stephie I asked Hey Google about both Alexa and Siri....suffice it to say there is some inbuilt jealousy.
Stephie · F
@KiwiBird Could I suggest a concrete vibrator or perhaps one of those vibrating belt? I am not sure thought whether they work on Android...

I also came across one new CrossFit device that may be introduced at your fitness place. Tell me what it does for you.

@Stephie Oh yes, almost forgot, I wear a connected watch too. And, now that you bring up house keys, we did just recently change out the locks on our front and back doors. They unlock with a tap of the (smart) phone. ;)

Seriously, I do live a very connected life. I blame my dad. He's a true nerd / geek / tech guy. They built a new home about eight years ago and built it from the ground up as a smart home. Literally everything in the house talks to everything else. When the sun hits the back of the house, the blinds automatically close. And don't think that is controlled by something as archaic as a timer. No, no, no. There's a weather station on the property that measures the ambient light so if its an overcast day, the blinds don't close. 🤦‍♀ It's crazy how interconnected and automated the house is.

@sarabee1995 please don’t disappoint me but are you real or only an amalgam of electronic circuits, blinking lights and a metallic and monotonous voice?

I am 🙏 now. Oh dear Lord, let her be made of flesh, blood, bones and a few other more or less useful attachments 😉
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Stephie I've been accused of all those things except that of having a metallic and monotonous voice. I am, after all, from Boston! ;) We speak with a wicked cool dialect! 😂

@Stephie If you hear me screeching like a banshee, run. Run fast. Run far. Because the only time I screech is when I'm on the attack. ;) 🥋
Stephie · F
@sarabee1995 Nah! That does not scare me. A good O'Soto Gari and you are as tame as a newborn 🐑 unless of course you counter with a Dollyo Chagi, in which case I may reconsider 😱
