Isn’t that a common term used in six sigma?

A wherry is a type of small, lightweight boat that was used for ferrying passengers and goods across rivers, especially the River Thames in London. In Shakespeare’s time, these boats were essential for transportation, as there were few bridges. Wherries were usually rowed by one or two boatmen and could carry several passengers. They were narrower and more maneuverable than larger ferries, making them ideal for navigating the busy waters of the Thames.

Via ChatGPT, so, accuracy wise, you’d better keep your fingers crossed.

Since Avogadro’s Number is in SI units, I would think that 6:02 “in the evening” is really 18:02.

TIL Avogadro’s Number has been an SI defining constant since 2019. It feels kind of like legislating the value of pi.

For some reason, I thought Bruce Springsteen wrote the song “God Bless the U.S.A.”. Turned out it was some dude named Lee Greenwood.
