M7




So, around 7#.
Quick dirty math.
Now there is a number I understand.

The argument of superiority when it's serious, is stupid.

Cherry pick the thing you want to measure, filter it through your
comfort with a system, and claim superiority.

Metric is usually easier for conversions.
Definitely easier for dosing meds.

How about weighing powder?
Or in building. Spacing joists/studs?

Funny, I don't think I ever had a Canadian give me directions using
kilometers. Always miles. I always ask, just to be sure.
That often pissed them off.

Metric sucks dick if you are tired, driving a load of paper through
Montreal in a snow, and forget that the ramp sign doesn't
mean 40mph. You forget being tired and sleepy real quick!
So I hear.

You also never forget the calculation.

And It was always a calculation.
The odometer had kilos.
But my mind shifted gears and picked speeds in mph.
Couldn't change, always did a quick "6x move the decimel" in my head


Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
