why can't retards just use metric. it's just easier. absolute retard ****s using inches and fractions of inches all the time. people using inches should be exterminated.
oh, it's 7/8 of an inch? but not 14/16. then it's 5/16 instead of 2.5/8. ****** ****. then it's 1-5/16 instead of 21/16 or 10.5/8

the F to C formula is a bit too awkward to do in head for me, but I just do (F-32)/2 for a good enough approximation
but yea metric would make everything easier since it's just multiples of 10

I have a bigger issue with the capitalism and lack of a good train system, which is actually feasible… better city planning that doesn't prioritize cars over people, etc.
I'm bad at math either way, so I'm all for changing to metric. I'm around people in the medical field and may enter it myself, and they use metric. I know when I did my mom's dialysis, we used metric. So it's not that foreign to me.
The only thing I don't like it for is when casually talking temperature. I'm not familiar with Celsius enough to know what a degree feels like.

It's only a matter of time before the Metric Wars erupt.

You've chosen a peculiar hill to die on
