If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.

In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you'd call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don't need to pronounce the 0x

I don't see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (..........) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (................)

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that's not going to degrade.

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn't say you can't replace the pack

Aren't all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn't have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that's also not because it's electric.

Every base has ten, but it's made of two digits

Binary 0, 1, 10 Ternary 0, 1, 2, 10 ... Decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10

Each has the right count of digits for its base before you go two-digit - binary has two (0, 1), etc

I don't know, 7 is a bit of a cannibal. π just is a little in the way

It was on a Russian Antarctic base, why would international waters be a consideration?

No, you could be doomed both ways, or safe both ways, or there may be more or fewer than two doors, more or fewer than two brothers, they may not be brothers, maybe none of them are truthful etc

When your conversation partner is chaotic/* you can't trust what they say

@AtariDump@lemmy.world is a nice guy (/girl/whatever) but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice when it comes to spotting users' instances
