or bake some cookies. I hope to not be late for that Avatar movie contest
Oh yeah, cookies are a good idea too. Get some friends to help and/or share them at work later.
i'm pretty sure you locking fucking everything is whydkun wrote:

and this is the part where i don't know if you were talking to Caligno or just being sarcastic, Brian
not sarcasm, he was agreeing with your reply to calignobot
i honestly have no idea how you're having such huge difficulties detecting whether something is sarcasm or not
actually i do but i dont want to be that rude
like, im just going by the common sense of cookies are never a bad idea and if brian thinks so he's a cunttttttttttt

Of course they're a good idea
Have you never had a coworker or classmate just randomly go around one day, handing cookies around? That's the kind of shit that brightens up your day after a shitty workload of making models and spreadsheets.

also in response to granger it takes like half a hour to register on kancolle it's not a big deal
the next registration is tomorrow at 11:00 GMT+9, that's 14:30 hours from the moment of this post. it lasts for an hour. just register it's ezpz
I'm probably gonna make another account to milk out the midway event that's coming in august ;w;
yeah, i think its fine if dkun wants to moderate off-topic he just has to stop moderating it like it was any other boardsilmarilen wrote:

But then we'd all have to change a bunch of shit... and you know america won't do anything because it's lazy
It's not laziness, it's cost. Changing to the metric system would involve changing every single road sign and re-educating the older generations. That's millions of road signs and billions of dollars in paying workers, not to mention hours and resources wasted. It's not worth justifying the cost when you can just learn both metric and imperial and learn to use metric when addressing foreigners and imperial amongst ourselves.

Considering how much the US spends on military maintenance over the course of just one single month, the monetary problem wouldn't be all that big, however re-educating people, as well as changing everything for the sake of something so insignificant is just utterly wasteful in both resources and time. It is by far easier to just let the people learn both systems, than doing that.
The US should've undergone metrication decades ago like Australia and Canada.
The infrastructure in both Australia and Canada are a fraction of the US. So, it's much easier and less resource-intensive for you guys to make fundamental changes like that.
There's probably more roads in my state then there is in the entirety of Australia. So it's approximately fifty times harder for us to change to metric than you guys did. It's not worth it.

To be quite honest, the whole topic is rather silly, as it's extremely obvious from the start that it is way easier to just leave it as it is, rather than change it just so people don't have to learn. Can you still call yourself human if you have no desire to learn something new every day?
But that would take... *gasph* Effort. Effort neither the american goverment nor the citizens is willing to do, be it changing the system, or encouraging the learning of both systems or (for the citizens) to learn both.

Honestly I think it would be easier for everyone if everyone just used the same system
I do agree with Kanye that it would cost a lot to change it for a country as big as America but converting English to Metric all the time would also cost a lot of time, effort and worse, money.
It is because of the accuracy, for sure the conversion of one yard to meters is not exact to the last centimeter or millimeter and measurements is important to Ergonomics, Engineering, Architecture and other fields that involves design and inaccuracy may and can lead to accidents.

I'll give my best to feed it during the day, as I haven't slept for over 2 days for some ungodly reason..... might be due to adjusting all the plans for welcoming someone and my sheer inability to cope with certain peripheral problems..... oh well, fuck it, I'll message you once I wake up~Granger wrote:

Yeah the US is too big and it's too late for metrication. I'm sure most Americans have developed an understanding of the metric system, especially when they come into contact with foreigners.
Also just discovered that the only thing better than banana bread is toasted banana bread.

But most people already know both.
Honestly, I already deal with both systems and it's not really that big of a deal. I'm pretty comfortable with the imperial system for hands-on work (furniture, small scale) and the metric system for just about anything else (geography, real estate, large scale). I'm not pulling my hairs out over it.

You have to try the toasted garlic/mayo banana bread too - it's delicious.LaVolpe024 wrote:

I never used imperial units beyond 5th grade. Most (non-ancient) Americans only use imperial for travel distance or sometimes sports (but not other distances), weighing themselves (but objects are all grams/kg), and weather (but not temperatures in other situations, say like, a chemistry experiment or body temperature). We use SI units for pretty much everything else, which includes professional work such as research, architecture etc. Even here if you use a non-SI unit when talking to an engineer you're going to get bitch slapped.LaVolpe024 wrote:

Oh and zucchini bread is pretty good too. Less sugar, more fiber and same great taste.
Ah the good ol "its too late" argument again. I dont even want to tell how stupid and pointless that is.
Of course, doing the change all at once is too much work, expecially for something large as the entire US.
But, expecially since most do know both already, the change can be done gradually. Go dual, change slowly to metric only. Same for Road signs and all that, those have to be replaced sometime anyways for mainentance, and when that happens you place the new metric signs.
It'll take a lot of time sure, but it wont be much more work than normal street mainentance already is.

There's no point to changing gradually either. It's better to be consistent rather than half the road signs being in one unit and the other half being in another. That's just as stupid. It's better to just use both and keep the existing infrastructure. There's no good reason to change it in the first place.
