If it's too good to be true then it tends to be, has always been my take on it.I dun get why people are so suspicious of lewd girls online. True, sometimes you got guys impersonating girls, but then again; Some of my wildest fans are girls, only thing that changes, really is less 'omfg moar hentai cgs please' and more 'I wonder how the story would go if X happened to the halpless heroine!', 's literally the only difference. Obviously this forum predominantly carters to male interests, but I dare you to go to some slash fiction sites.
WHAAAAT? Are you saying.. okSo before you say: "Stubborn muricans" give a thought to the logistics of the task.
A number of reasons, for instance we tax properties based on estimated value, the size and quality of improvements heavily factors into this.Building plans? Updated? Before they're due for an upgrade or being sold? Good one, had me going for a sec- wait, you're serious aren't you o_o
It would be nice if there were a measurement between full meters and centi. I was never taught one if there is.Joking aside, I'll admit imperial has advantages in small distances - I've no idea how tall anyone is in centimetres, but feet is easy. And speed limits in miles tend to be higher, unfairly . If you phased it all out slowly though, think could be manageable regarding expenses - relearning measurements would be a major issue, admittedly.
Why yes am I! Gold star for you in reading comprehension!WHAAAAT? Are you saying.. ok
ok hold on
are you saying that.. changing things.. is.. work?
As opposed to not doing anything which isn't work? Goddamn, never would've thought.
I know of one and its called (writen in polish) "decymetr" and its exactly 0.1 metr = 10 centymetrówIt would be nice if there were a measurement between full meters and centi. I was never taught one if there is.
It isn't as if those signs don't have to be replaced(or at least repainted) periodically ANYWAY. Trying to convert overnight would be infeasible, but no-one says you have to do it like that. Obviously there would be a(rather long, I suspect) period of adjustment during which the two systems would coexist.If it's too good to be true then it tends to be, has always been my take on it.
Sure there are females that use the internet, and yeah they can be just as perverted as males, but without some form of proof I'd not readily ignore my policy. At the same time I'm not going to run around saying : "You have a penis, you're not a girl!"
Oh and as for the metric vs imperial foolishness earlier I missed:
Think about how large the U.S. is, imagine the workload and costs that converting roadsigns ALONE would create. It's simply not feasible. Then imagine all the building plans that would need to be updated/converted. On top of that there are utility plans that would as well.
Lastly think of all the people that would have to re-learn measuring. Alot of the work I do requires me to estimate distances by eye, and I'd never be able to do that in metric.
So before you say: "Stubborn muricans" give a thought to the logistics of the task.
Decimetres. 8.7 Decimeters are 0,87 meters. Even the name is rather obvious deci for tenth meter for.. a meter. Also you can say 87 Centimetres which is 87% of a metre, or you can say 870 millimetres, without having to calculate for a while how many inches are in a mile. While at it, lets get rid of Fahrenheit, Pounds and alcohol 'proof' and other such things in one swoop as well.It would be nice if there were a measurement between full meters and centi. I was never taught one if there is.
I don't need to, you provide an example yourself, even if you try to ridicule it. Metric system is so prevalent and efficent engineers rather risk the calculation being off than go with the inadequate and inacurate other system.Please share with the class if you can think of a benefit!
Engineers just can't stand that construction workers don't use the metric system, so they've started using decimals in their Imperial measurements e.g. 9.2 feet. Nobody on the construction crew knows how to measure .2 feet or convert it on the fly, so the project ends up that tiny amount off that drives the engineer nuts XD
Seriously, an argument from lazyness?On the idea of a gradual change, think about it, you're saddling a generation or two with having to learn BOTH systems, I wouldn't want that put on me. To the point that I wouldn't bother learning the one that I didn't apply in my everyday life.
We had that chance already. But you decided to ruin it.can we leave this topic back to introductions?
Why isn't decimeter used more commonly? It makes far more sense to express height in decimeters than centimeters as 13.5dm compared to 135cm. Perhaps I'm asking the wrong person though, as you'd count the inches in a mileDecimetres. 8.7 Decimeters are 0,87 meters. Even the name is rather obvious deci for tenth meter for.. a meter.

Read better, they're not using the metric system. They're applying the rule of 10's to the imperial system. That just doesn't work given no imperial rulers have tenths marked out they have halves, quarters, eighths and sixteenths.I don't need to, you provide an example yourself, even if you try to ridicule it.

Sure we'll ignore the other supporting arguments an go with laziness.Seriously, an argument from lazyness?
Basically what you are saying here is as soon as it is in your every day life you'll learn metric, infact, only reason you aren't using metric is that no one has started forcefully implementing it yet.. so do you have any striking arguments
There are a number of OTHER countries that still use the imperial system though, yes the majority have converted to metric.It isn't as if those signs don't have to be replaced(or at least repainted) periodically ANYWAY. Trying to convert overnight would be infeasible, but no-one says you have to do it like that. Obviously there would be a(rather long, I suspect) period of adjustment during which the two systems would coexist.
Also consider the following: Every OTHER country has managed to convert to metric at one point or another during the past two centuries, so claiming that it's "not feasible" is quite silly.
Why would you use decimals to express something when there's no need to? That's an extra character you need to type for... no reason, really. cm is just the most convenient unit for expressing a person's height since it's about the accuracy you want anyway. Mostly, though, it's just convention.Why isn't decimeter used more commonly? It makes far more sense to express height in decimeters than centimeters as 13.5dm compared to 135cm.

No, there's exactly ONE other country that primarily uses the imperial system.There are a number of OTHER countries that still use the imperial system though, yes the majority have converted to metric.
And you're correct it's quite feasible, I really should've tackled this from a different angle from the start, there's just no benefit to the conversion. Outside of appeasing a few uptight engineers, and really just like me they like to bitch about things so they'd find something else to bitch about soon after. So spend a bunch of money and inconvenience our citizens to... what?
