How do I make tables in Cohost-flavored markdown? Anyway:

  • 1027 is ronna- (R)
  • 10-27 is ronto- (r)
  • 1030 is quetta- (Q)
  • 10-30 is quecto- (q)

From Resolution 3 of the 27th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures, which took place November 15-18. Thanks to @mjn@icosahedron.website for the news! Can't wait to see how long it takes before someone is selling a quectoduino on Tindie x3

(I'd rather see a rontosaurus, personally)

Exciting news! For further context i.e I just checked Wikipedia, the last update to the list of prefixes was in 1991. The full set of prefixes now is: quetta, ronna, yotta, zetta, exa, peta, tera, giga, mega, kilo, hecto, deca, [one], deci, centi, milli, micro, nano, pico, femto, atto, zepto, yocto, ronto, quecto; this leaves the letters in "bijlosvwx" as remaining prefix symbols from the Latin letters. And quecto is my new personal favourite.

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appeared:
"Multiplayer maps and modes have been updated!
A communication error has occurred."
Nothing beside remains.
