New blog post!

☆On metric☆

Maybe I'm just so done with *gestures vaguely* that being a bit petty will blow off steam, but honestly? Americans use metric. We use whatever is useful. Which really begs the question: if metric is so great, then why wouldn't we use it for everything?

Not "freedom units;" unit freedom

It offends me that the rest of the world doesn't realize(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/rant-of-the-moment/on-metric

#Canada is not the only country that is somewhat #schizoid about #units / #metric and #Imperial measures.

I bought a roll of copper foil tape from China (AliExpress, natch) that was described as "20 mm x 393.7 inches". Why they didn't just say 10 meters is beyond me 😆

A 3/4 (55 cm) #violin 🎻 [1] for the American chap whose posts I saw on Reddit whilst researching what was involved in changing #sparkplugs - it turns out in USA-land torque values for these are sometimes quoted in *inch*-pounds, but he got confused and ended up borrowing a ft-lbs #torquewrench, tried to put put 150 ft-lbs (203 Nm!) on a plug that should be about 150 inch-pounds (17 Nm). and wondered why the plug was still loose, and his truck was misfiring.

Luckily for him the ceramic had broken before the threads stripped in the cylinder head and the garage was able to extract the broken plug and he was back on the road.

[1] just the right size for a small child of about age 10 to play, and to suggest to the old man that using #metric units really isn't a bad idea..
