- 03:1103:11, 28 December 2019 diff hist −858 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report →Other: The amount of data to handle is not relevant. That it is huge sounds impressive, and is a minor disadvantage, but it only makes running the simulation expensive in terms of hardware. It refers to an intermediate result, that needs to be analyzed to much less data to make the result useful at all. So the numbers have no relevance. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

- 12:1712:17, 23 December 2019 diff hist −61 Sheryl Sandberg →Early life and education: "always top grades" sounds like an marketing euphemism for grades on the lower end of the top half. Rating at 9th is relative to the class size, which is unknown. I do not know whether that means to report good or bad results, it is very ambiguous. I am used to class sizes of around 35 pupils, so it is not something to be proud of, but also not so bad that it is worth reporting. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

A large piece of metal, or a marble floor, feels cold at the same temperature like the surrounding because of its heat conductivity. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

- 06:3606:36, 13 November 2019 diff hist −249 Dimensionless quantity While it is true, it is very confusing, because it is about something different that looks the same. Addressing the speed of light simply by a dimensionless number means leaving out the dimension and imply it. Addressing the speed of light as "1" does that. "1" is implicitly "1 c". And c has the dimension m/s. There are quantities that do not have a dimension fundamentally, not only leaving it out - it was never there. The degree of arc has no dimension, for example.
