Unfortunately all those #scientific #measurements have to be discarded because#scientists used #metric measurements which are #woke.

non-american English speakers, what word do you use instead of "mileage" in the following contexts?

It's used two ways here:
1) Gas (petrol) consumption.
"What kind of mileage does it get?" is asking about fuel efficiency, i.e."miles / gallon"

2) Distance on the odometer. "What's the car's mileage?" is asking what the odometer reading is.

My new idea is to use Roman miles instead of imperial. They’re 1,479 km or thereabouts (it’s an approximation and wasn’t fixed anyway) so i can just round it to 1,5km. Easy to convert to sane measures.

Now i just need to find an imperial measurements user to impress/confound. “Oh, you don’t mean Roman miles? What empire are you referring to?”

Roman miles make more sense than using 996 and 9/16ths Rods or whatever a mile is based on.

My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that’s the way I like it!

Steve Mould is usually very polite to his American listeners and viewers, converting metric to US customary units. I think recent events may be shifting his view of the matter.

Bike & a Viking longboat, Stockholm Sweden.

The number of interesting sightings seems to be endless in this city. I’ve lived here since 1989 and not once felt myself bored. I can easily switch my point of view from a regular everyday Stockholm dude to a tourist and just watch the city flow around me like I was on a vacation in some place new to me.

#Metric is fancy, especially with the definitions of the base units standardized since its inception (and currently used in SI).

US hardware standards are INSANE.
Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online. (cont.)

In his effort to improve everything in the U.S. government, perhaps #Trump should direct #Hegseth to abandon the #metric system in the #DoD . Things would be better with miles, stone, slugs, and drams, rather than kilometers and millimeters.

#Imperial vs. #Metric System 🛠️

This is what happens every time my partner and I plan a road trip, build furniture, shop for beverages and basically perform any activity that involves measurements.

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.

TIL what was the most beautiful invention of all time and why. I don't know all inventions ever made, so I can't have an opinion on whether this is really so, but I think it is, in fact, beautiful.
