Oddbean new post about login | logout Seriously. Freedom units? What you call standard, Brits call imperial. Have a ponder! In seriousness though, metric is easier. Fun fact, the massively expensive new Ariane rocket that was remotely blown up cause wasn't behaving right ended up being an incorrect o ring size. An engineer preferred working in inches and forgot to convert back. Oops!
My feels is I should write my book called Millie the millipede who explains to #USA children to get on the metric system like the rest of the world 🌍 😂🙏
I think this millipede forgot to convert to imperial units lol https://live.staticflickr.com/5082/5211503643_3b54f86239_b.jpg
In my degrees of illusion There is no excuse for me I am who and what I am The world has changed so We must acclimate or take over With love 💜
I love these discussions when they come up. I used to work on rigs in the north sea. What a mess. Both at the same time. Drilling in meters (still measured daily progress as footage so reports read "footage: 75m"), pressures in psi, torque in footpounds and flow rates in GPM with bitsize in mm. People get so would up with these things, work in it, get a calculator and honestly, who cares! But seriously, metric is just easier. Decimalisation simplifies. Right, time to run, I need to buy a dozen eggs
Eat eggs 🥚 and other things Be healthy All the ways We winning with all things all ways
Great idea 💜🤣🫡
