I like to stop it at 2 seconds left because I don't need that kind of stress in my life. -CasualCart 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTHERWISE it tells me about the remaining 0:01 left to cook. My significant other doesn't care and will leave it like that for DAYS!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this silly because we do indeed use it for some things. Examples: 2litre bottles of soda, racing events during high school track and field (4x4 etc), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that's not true at all. What I presume you are referring to as "Mandarin" has only had native speakers since about 1988, but despite being a lingua franca, it's definitely not a native language for most.

I wish we would just pull off the Band-Aid and do it. But even more so, I wish they had done it before I was born, so I wouldn't have to go through the transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even more so, I wish they had done it before I was born, so I wouldn't have to go through the transition. US government did try to do it back in the 90's; FHWA: Metric Conversion: How Soon? FHWA: The Metric Conversion Status for The Highway Program At Ohio DOT we were doing it for about 2 years. Designers would design in U.S. customary units and digitally convert to metric. The Contractor would then take the metric plans and convert them to U.S. customary units so they could construct the project. I came across an old meter stick from that era that had the saying "ODOT goes the extra kilometer". So yeah, there was a serious attempt at doing the conversion but it's hard to break old habits when so much was built off of U.S. customary units standards. Whole or easily divisible units don't happen when you try to convert 10, 11, 12, or 13 foot lane widths to metric. Same thing with building something. There cool tricks you can do with U.S. customary units that the trades learn and then that shit goes out the door with using the metric system. Granted in the end shit would be MUCH easier if you constructed things to the metric standards instead of converting American standards into metric values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,891 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I find it difficult to picture metric distances in my head so it makes most of the distance measurements pretty meaningless to me. Wish we would convert and eventually it would click. Currently if I hear something is 100, 200, etc meters I have to think of it in football fields to have any concept.

I find it difficult to understand imperial. I normally have to think of foot long sandwiches from Subway or an NFL field haha. I don’t have any reference for miles though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get very familiar with 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, & 300 meters. When I have guess a distance in meters I think of how hard it would be to shot a person from the stop I'm estimating. I've been out for over 10 years so I'm not as good at the estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
