oui, toujours

Every other full spin it stops for 4h. There.
We also get rid of DST because who can tell the time anymore?

The last competition hosted had Harvia stove for sauna as the price

Boiling warm is still warm

While I get this is a meme, I do think the imperial measurement system deserves some credit. More the vast majority of humanity’s existence it has been an incredibly capable and powerful system. It’s only in more modern times where a system like metric is an upgrade. This is also ignoring the few ways where imperial still eke out a win, but that is besides the point.

Imperial’s weird gaps between units are pieces that come from a variety of different systems that got layered together over the centuries it lasted. 5280 feet in a mile? Based on the Roman mile which was 5000 paces from a soldier. 12 inches in a foot? From a different way people counted on their hands.

Length of an inch and length of a foot? From different parts of the body. Weird? Certainly. Practical? Amazing so. They were easier for day to day tasks and for measuring on the small, human scale. Metric is easier to calculate between different units and that is an amazing innovation.

Fahrenheit is weird today, but was more practical when it was first established. Even then it has value in how it is more granular without the necessity of decimals. Celsius is still the better unit, 0° being freezing and 100° being boiling for water is very useful. It gives you two easy to remember extremes.

Imperial had to walk, so metric could run in a way. Both systems are great in their own ways and in their own times. Imperial isn’t needed anymore, but deserves recognition for being good for its time and for being more practical historically.

The only dud metric really has is metric time, and that is because everything we have ever done has been based on the older time keeping system. Cultures have laid claim to certain dates and times of day within the old system that just have constrained us to it.

I definitely prefer metric overall, but I genuinely believe that imperial deserves more credit for getting us to the point where metric makes sense to swap to.

Please also lets use the International fixed calendar where every month has exactly 28 days/4 weeks and the year has 13 months.
Every 1st of the month is a sunday, every 2nd is a monday and so on, so you will always know which day it is by the number.

The leftover day is a dedicated new years day.

“To American” … what?

We have kitchen scales, we know how to weigh ingredients.

Old recipes in English often use volume measurements, across the pond too.

Modern recipes use weights when possible.

Idk why you’d convert to ye olde style.

I'm curious, what are the areas that matter that you see metric having replaced imperial?

I still see imperial used for building materials, tools, furniture, product dimensions, food packaging, recipes, travel distances. The doctor still tells me my weight in pounds. It's what we use at my job when describing products to clients.

But what if your precision is greater than 1/100 but not 10 times as precise?

centicelsius or kilocelsius?

In physics at these scales kilo Kelvins are used.

Did I defend using imperial units?

I'm defending recording precision without having to add a qualifying statement because you can otherwose only increase precision by orders of magnitude in decimal.

They're the same, except shifted by 273

I’m not sure if you noticed, but we are literally mostly made out of water, the stuff we eat is mostly water, we drink water, we cook water, we freeze water, we shower in water, we piss water and even our shit contains water.

Also, guessing temperature in fahrenheit is only simpler to americans because they are used to fahrenheit. For everyone using celcius when they grow up, its perfectly normal to think “Oh it feels like 13 degrees celcius outside.”. For us its weird to guess Fahrenheit because we are not used to it.

And wheres the problem in asking for a third of something?

You need more wood

How do you account for doubling precision? Decimal only records 10-fold steps.

I accidentally a word. Converting recipes from Norwegian and metric to American and US customary units.

I'm aware. I have a scale, too. But most people didn't weigh dry ingredients. So when I translate for someone else I have to use the "normal" measures they're used to. For myself, I speak the language and just use metric, my scale, and a measuring cup with both markings.

With decimal measurements, precision can’t be nearly as granular. If your measurement is precise to one 1/8 of a unit,

My metric measurents are precise to 1/10th of a unit. Like 22.7°C or 34.7cm.

I feel like 90°C is like the sweet spot (or 85°C)

They're talking about using Fahrenheit in a day to day capacity like for the weather, not as a scientifically rigorous definition. 0°F is very cold and 100°F is very hot. If you treat it as almost a percentage of how "very hot" it is then it can be a pretty good indicator.

Don't get me wrong if I had to choose between all of metric and all of imperial then I'd ditch Fahrenheit in a heartbeat, but it's not often in my day to day life that I think I'd ever use any temperature outside of (approximately) -15°C and 35°C. Therefore Fahrenheit in that specific regard offers more granularity and a nice 0-100 type of temperature scale for the temperatures I'd see on a day to day basis.
