CSS có tới 42 đơn vị đo lường khác nhau! 🤯 Từ các đơn vị phổ biến như px, em, rem, % đến các đơn vị mới hơn như vw, vh, lch, oklch... Thật đa dạng phải không?

@RnDanger
Exactly! The huge range in definitions of a 'league' by different cultures at different times is presumably why people stopped using it.
In any case, its use in the title of the film was completely nonsensical. :-)
cf. "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" - not quite as ludicrous at only 3x Challenger Deep. 😬

@bagder We could start using systematic binary prefixes, akin to systematic element names, for those that don’t already have an officially assigned name?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_element_name

So 2^128 bytes
= 2^8 x 2^120 bytes
= 256 x 1024^12 bytes
= 256 unbi-bibytes (12 = un bi)

Seems quite compact actually.

And could also extend to systematic SI prefixes for power-of-1000 magnitude numbers?

Where Do the Kurdish Militias Go From Here?

Rohlat Afrin, leader of the Women’s Protection Units, explains her vision for integrating Kurdish forces into the Syrian army.

<> I thought Ocalon agreed to stop armed resistance? This article needed to refresh the current backstory to be understandable to me. It's unfortunate that it's so short. Why limit the word count, when publishing to the Internet?
