I blasted my last block

That is all information I don’t need in my day to day existence, you missed the part about cut/sew I guess. If I did need it I’d use metric because it’s good for that. For my needs measuring things on the table or around the house inches work better for me. My point was if there was a common reference between systems we could speak between them, but my original point was that if you say you like inches around here you’ll never hear the end of it from lemmy. QED.
This exactly proves my point again. I like imperial. I like factors of 8 and 12. I don’t want factors of 10, in my occupation in a cut/sew shop I don’t find it as useful.
If a metre was a yard we could talk between the systems. We could use the preffered system for the application. If someone said 2.5 meters, because I know my twelve times table, I would understand instantly that it’s 90" or 7 1/2 feet. I honestly have no clue how many feet are in a mile, I use kilometers for that.
On the other hand if you say you prefer inches to centimeters you’ll get piled on. I’m Canadian btw but inches suit my needs.
If only they’d have made a metre equal a yard…
-thanks for proving my point lemmy.

5·1 month agoYou go to a bar and strike up conversation with people and then casually ask if they know how many grams in an ounce.
Yes, they let you change it now. I think you can only change it every three months or something like that.

God damn. I had a vague understanding of all that, but to have it all documented makes me a bit ill. America has a serious issue of lack of comeuppance.

Looking at you, rabbits.
