Just tell them to decide whether to colour it blue or red and they’d forget about the calibration
bad timing
it’s almost 11:00 am in NY and 08:00 am in LA.. I don’t think many are asleep now
You don’t know much about time zones do you? It’s almost 11am on the east coast.
Must be hard to measure time for y’all too. 😉
Jokes on you, I’m in Europe! Lol
I don’t have a math brain whatsoever. When they introduced the metric system to us in 1975 it made perfect sense. I use it exclusively in my job, if you don’t like metric I tell people to do the conversions.
>*It’s impossible to avoid using the metric system in the United States. All our measurement units, including U.S. customary units you’re familiar with (feet, pounds, gallons, Fahrenheit, etc.), are defined in terms of the SI—and mass, length, and volume have been defined in metric units since 1893!*
I guess it’s tough to *measure * time over there.
We’re not asleep.

They’re all awake and think that’s a yard stick
I started school like 3 hours ago lol. i was up 5 hours ago lol
Meh. A meter is basically a yard. Not the flex you think it is.
Y’all trying to flex your metric system when we have the highest gun violence rate then you guys
Notably:
Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s the inch has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.
Strictly speaking, we use US customary units. It derives from units used in the era of the British Empire, and some of some of the units have been made identical to the British imperial system, but that’s not true of all units.

Only if Antarctica metrifies too…

There is only one accepted method to measure those sweet meters, [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Gliederma%C3%9Fst%C3%A4be.jpg/1024px-Gliederma%C3%9Fst%C3%A4be.jpg)
Here’s an even bigger flex:
