Americans using anything but the metric system
  • Great question!! Ok a rough estimate is the best I can do. As everything is bigger in Texas, I will take a relatively big deer for reference. As you will understand, I must compare area with area, so here goes:

    Taking a BigMac as a reference and assuming a patty diameter of 10.4cm Source. This would lead to an area of 84.95cm2.

    A bigger deer skin could be 150x139 cm Source. On the one hand this is an overestimation because those are the maximum measures and it’s not perfectly square, but on the other hand we’re not taking certain area’s such as the hooves and head into account. The area comes to 20850cm2.

    So one deer is, in terms of area, as big as 245,4 hamburgers.

    Again, I hope this helps.

  • Americans using anything but the metric system
  • According to google, a deer has a height between 0.85 to 1.5 metres. According to the Texas Almanac, the Lone Star State extends 801 straight-line miles (from north to south). This equates to 1289084,54 metres.

    Taking this into account, a deer is between 0,00000066 and 0,0000012 Texas.

    I hope this helps.

    What is the best way to safely and completely erase all data from old laptops?

    I have a couple of old laptops lying around and want to throw them away, but have been cautious to do so because of privacy concerns of data still on the hard drives. What is the best way to wipe them? Or should I take them out and physically destroy them?

    They are running windows vista and 10 I think.
