Sure you were quick but wrong.

23.5 x 2 = 47

He wanted half of 45 15/16.

Doh. Math is hard!
No, wait, it was in British Whitworth units

[skiballs]

The only time freedom units suck for carpentry/contracting is when you need to divide a measurement and almost have a seizure trying to figure out what half or a third of 45 - 15/16" is.

My metric argument is always this one:
"How much does a gallon of water weigh?" Not many can answer it. most say "i dunno maybe 7-8 lbs?" (its 8.34 lbs at 64F)

How much does a liter of water weigh?
1 Liter (or 1000ml) weighs 1 kilogram (or 1000 grams)
If I was going to build a box to put 1 liter of water in it, it would be 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters.

How fawking easy is that?

Can Ogdens be adapted to length, temperature and weight?

Is there a fat chick equivalent by height? MBMI?

[basinbeater]

The unit is known as a booner. It's difficult to use, sort of like tire measurements. 1 would be equal to width being 1/2 of height. So ideal for most people (which should be 1) would be like .3 booners, but like feet, this scale of measurement was developed on an arbitrary scale of measurement. This is based on booners preference, which is how we arrive at the ratio that equals 1. So a 6 ft tall woman could be 1 booner, and be large and in charge, or a 6 ft woman could be .2 booners, and she would be skinny as hell.

It's a height to waist circumference ratio.
Edit: Also the number of "c's" in thiccc can be a defining measurement.

As for units of measurement, a yard is the length it is because it was the length of the average mans stride. This made measuring distances via walking much easier. Why is a meter the length it is? I’ve asked this many times and the most consistent answer I’ve received is “because it’s 100 centimeters long.”

I figured these two posts should be together.

An averages man stride is 30", so only 83% of a yard. Sounds accurate....

The Meter was determined in 1795 where it was determined that the meter be equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a great circle quadrant along the Earth's meridian, that is the distance from the equator to the north pole along that quadrant.

Where does the volume measurement of a range fit in this discussion?

[stealurface831]

the number of and/or use of Q as a substitute for C can also serve as a metric.

volume is easy. just multiply some shit by some other shit and call it "ogdens cubed" or "thiccqq cubed".

We need these mathematicians in this world. Buster, are you listening?

We changed to metric liquor bottles just fine.

Probably an indication that penis size in centimeters would be the next campaign for the metric proponents to....mount?

[skifishbum]

I’ve got 22cm for her

seein as how i had both these on 8 track

yeah the were goin metric things
been failin fer decades now
but im sure them millienials will fix it

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

I was kinda hoping this would have ended this drift but.....

They make those signs in prisons with super cheap slave labor. next objection?

And the materials to build the signs appear in those prisons with a wave of the fairy wand?

Sounds like a quality economic stimulus program to me.

I work for the government....trust me, nothing the government does ends up for the good.

Highway signs get changed fairly often anyway. We still have a few older marine grade wood signs but theyre inconsequential old point of interest signs. Drivers dont need snow to drive off the road and smash signs, speed limits change, mile markers change as highways widen and straighten. Sign guy puts up a lot of signs just advertising new twinning the govt will be doing and leaving it up a year after the works done to make sure everyone knows where their tax $ goes. That and huge keep to the right signs for the majority of albertans that cant fkn read

You'd have to do them all at once. Can you imagine driving down the road and every 4th or 5th mile marker is now out of order because it's in KM? Chaos! Chaos I tells ya!

Ok, boomer.

Catchy. That might become popular

I’d say that the transition is already in progress and that it’s been a long one and we have a ways to go.

Outside of the science industry, where? Serious question.

Don't worry, we have a 2m coffin ready for you...

All you millenials stay the fuck off of my lawn!

Who would build a box to hold water? A plastic bottle, or glass bottle, or even a metal container to hold water, but a box? Made of what- wood like a carpenter would cut up and nail together???

Well, maybe do the shopping sometime and see the boxes of liquid available
Soup, chic/veg/beef stock, almond milk & other alternative “milks”, sometimes reg milk, juice, wine, etc. Euroland has even more

I have built many fluid containment boxes out of polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, and ABS. As a life long fabricator of wood, plastics, and metals, I think in inches and feet, but I wish we had changed to metric.
