Thanks for playing, everyone. I'll see you around.

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.
