@Aviva_Gary @sopsack It is a good thing that you haven't had to learn it.

@vallik @sopsack Yes, the American answer to metric is, in fact, "go fuck yourself"

@RA_Negm @sopsack I studied the sciences so everything was in metric (and therefore a good system if you ask me) so there was that lol

@jlcrawf @sopsack The Apollo computers used metric internally. They displayed imperial for astronauts.

@Aviva_Gary @RA_Negm @sopsack I tend to think of the metric system as a system, where different aspects of the measured world are put in relation to each other.On the opposite side, I see „freedom units“ not as a system, but a loose collection of specialized measurement standards. Each may make sense on its own, in its niche (which is why people cling to it), but they where never designed to work together.Which is why I feel they should cease to exist.😉🙂
