Which is fine if the prices are given per 1 kg or 100 g. Here in the US they have the prices by the ounce or by the pound, by the gallon, quart, or liquid ounce ... not exactly transparent unless you can >> 4 in your head faster than / 10. I can't.

Yeah, the actual work seems to have been done by the people running the underlying http://numbersapi.com/4/6/date

No, power is just torque times angular velocity. No constants involved.

I've noticed that e.g. over dinner only groups of 5 or smaller can keep one coherent discussion going; if you go to 6 or more people they will inevitably split up into subgroups. That's why I think meetings where people are supposed to discuss an issue and come to a shared understanding of something can only be at most 5 people.

I came back to HN (does it fall under #3 or #5?) just to remark something along these lines ...

Looks nice, but is there a reason it interprets m^2 * Pa correctly

  ≫ 1 Pa * 2 m^2 / N
    1 Pa × (2 × m^2 / N)
     = 2

but doesn't automatically convert a result to N?

  ≫ 1 Pa * 2 m^2
    1 Pa × 2 × m^2
     = 2 m²·Pa

Same with W, J, s and all their relations.

Is it possible that the high infant mortality weeded out more children from less healthy socioeconomic and genetic backgrounds than today? So on average you'd get healthier adults which would live longer? Also, I don't like their comparison of the life expectancy of a Victorian 65-year old with a modern 5-year old. Of course the former would be relatively high.

It seems like you have good reasons to be toxic ;-) I have felt similarly in some organizations.

In your case "toxic" seems to be that pointing out negative things about the organization too often or too bluntly might lead to colleagues becoming less motivated and less attached. So the "simple" way out would be to reduce your remarks about the flaws of the organization or to state them in a less blunt or confrontational manner.

Of course, what is being considered toxic will differ from one company to the next but also from one country to the other. Germans and Dutch are known for being very honest and direct whereas most other cultures prefer a less confrontational attitude.
