  1. 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(...) blog.bluestarcreations.net/ran

  8. My partner brought back some #sunscreen from a trip to #Greece. I was looking at the directions on it, and they're quite a bit different from what I'm used to on North American brands. They included this:

    > Apply at least 2 mg per cm^2 of skin.

    My first thought was "You have GOT to be fucking with me."

  10. "The #culture that feels the most dangerous, and, thus, exciting to young people, will be what you can’t see online. And the most #dangerous thing for #platforms is not racist garbage. It’s #unmonetizeable content. The “#metric” that will matter most going forward will not be the numbers at the bottom of a post or video, but the #humanbeings in a room that left their house to experience something. Which, of course, will be filmed and put back online. You can’t escape #thematrix entirely."

  11. 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.

    Woh 😲 BIG difference!

    Question though. How come you guys also use #imperial to describe your wheels instead of #metric?
    #bikes #bicycles #unicycles

    I was thinking maybe you guys have a metric equivalent to describing wheel sizes. ❔

    Here in the #Philippines we use both 📏 systems. We normally measure our weight in lbs, the weight of food in grams and kgs, speed in kph and distances in km... wheel size in inches. We adopt everything from everywhere, I guess. 🤷‍♀️
