The question really is, are they pre-menopausal or post-menopausal femtometers. Coupled with quantum uncertainty, this is an important issue with potentially material results for the physical environment.
Discuss.

I don’t know about everything being “fine”.
The whole universe just shifted .04 fetometers! Chaos is gonna ensue! Some real “end of the world” type stuff! Dogs and cats living together…
On the other hand, this may explain why Im shooting just a little to the left.

That is the tightest SAAMI specification since the 7prc.

No, not just one proton.
But THAT proton is .04 fetometers off. Until we check ALL OF THEM, I’m going with the rest are in spec.

Good thing. Another .04 fetometers and they might not fit through the Exit.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
