@lanodan
though paper sizes have some logic in them.

If you fold A3 you get A4.

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@a1ba @astrid Yeah, while if you fold an AAA battery you… explode I guess.

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@astrid AAAA is also a battery, just not one commonly used. you are most likely to have handled them in packs of 6 inside 9-volt batteries (although not all 9-volt batteries are constructed like this)

@astrid@infosec.exchange AAAA is also a battery, unfortunately

@leeloo that went over my head too.

[xavierlowmiller@hachyderm.io]

@astrid if A is so good how come they never made a B DNS Record?

[ruawhitepaw@chitter.xyz]

@leeloo @astrid On a piano, B# is the same as C, and E# is the same as F. But within music theory they are considered distinct notes, and can have different pitches in some contexts.

@astrid I posted this originally, some credit would be nice.

@sysop408 @astrid @kwayk42 I learnt it when looking for batteries for MS Surface Pen. I searched throu all these stores until...

[ada@h4.io]

@astrid That's still ok. Imagine this

[zwol@masto.hackers.town]

@sysop408 @leeloo it's six little plastic tubs glued together. A long time ago I cut one of those open myself, saw the same thing, was confused, and looked up the patent number on the outside of the case

[startide@macrofurs.social]

@astrid @dragonarchitect I just had to look up what all uses AAAA batteries and found out Amazon sells them and they're commonly used in tablet styluses from what I can tell from the reviews
