I'm just saying that if you are working with some kind of base size, and want to do stuff in fractions or multiple of that base size, the inch is a pretty good size. ๐Ÿ‘

I have a hard time understanding why you would prefer that over using decimal places to be honest, adding decimal places together is much simpler than different fractions

Well habits are valid and in the end a cm is just as arbitrary as an inch, but converting between units is just objectively easier with metric

Just try adding 1/3 and 5/8. In my field fractions like that are nowhere near precise enough anyways, so you'd need to work with thousands of inches, which just makes you wish there was a smaller unit like millimeters

Have had that game in my library for years, maybe I need to play it

What I like is the use of parts of inches. Especially the fractions which are powers of two. Very useful. That's a little difficult with the cm and mm because they're already so small.

What? With millimeters you barely have to use fractions because it is so small, how is that a negative? Fractions are also way harder to understand if you need to het precise

That one Dutch province that nobody has ever been to

How the hell am I in the bottom 46% with an annual income of โ‚ฌ38000?

Edit: I see, I think this is more about purchasing power than income, selecting some random 3rd world country would out me way higher

What?

No like there was a lead pipe from the early 1900s from the street up through the woods to my house.

Water pipes are lined with gross slimy stuff and other nasty things, so you might not necessarily have drunk lead contaminated water. Or you might have, who knows. Atleast you won't now

Not with that mindset

We're not saving the world by always choosing the cheapest option, that's how we got here

From what I understand about WW1, it was just a huge clusterfuck
