☆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

Protecting the pint: British Lords vote to safeguard cherished measure.
Britain's House of Lords voted on Wednesday to ensure pubs can still serve beer in pints (568.26125 ml) - a cherished unit of measurement that survived the country's switch to the metric system in 1965.
Despite Brexit, the UK government has given up on a return to the imperial system of measurement.
Now, a new safeguard will ensure pints shall stay pints.

I did a post on Threads (https://www.threads.net/@realinvalidname/post/Cz1NgmrOVK_) asking the algorithm for more stuff I like. No algorithm here (good!), but maybe some hashtags will help find like-minded Mastodonians:

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'An Introduction to #Andalusi #Hebrew #Metrics' by José Martínez Delgado.
Throughout the last two centuries, #Hebrew #metrics was studied by leading #linguists and specialists in #medieval #Hebrew poetry. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the academic discussion such that it is sometimes even difficult to find scansions or the name of the meter in new editions of #poems. This book aims to rectify this gap, helping readers to understand the #metric structure of this #poetry in order to facilitate the work of #editing and cataloguing those samples still in #manuscript form for future editors.

These weird C-clamps are super weak. I googled the manufacturers "#Starrett, #BrownAndSharpe, #Mitutoyo and #Lufkin" and they aren't even known for making clamps! And these clocks aren't running, but even if they did it looks like some kind of #metric time. Useless.
At least there's some #Craftsman in the lot.
