They were banned in a lot of schools because it was considered gambling.

Sadly, at that point, you need to know the decimal equivalent (this happpens often with precision measurement) for instance 1/4 is 0.25 etc. I agree that it is horrible for a tape measure style measurement, but it isn’t so bad once you’re used to seeing the fractional equivalent as a decimal.
That was also part of my point. I am tired of people trying to impose one unit or series of units being superior when they are all just made up.
I may get a lot of flack for this, but here is my perspective as someone with over 20 years experience as a machinist in the US. Over the course of my career, I have become more than comfortable using metric, imperial, and us custimary units.
For science? Metric is fantastic. For literally everything else - us customary is faster, easier, more understandable, and actually more approachable in terms of trying to actually build something.
Let’s start with simply building something as the first example. Fractions, (and angles relative to fractions) are more intuitive to work with, faster, and overall easier to work with than decimal equivalents. One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".
Furthermore, units are just that. An arbitrarily agreed upon measurement. None of them make any “more sense” than any other. If the Royal Society had agreed on a hogs head as a standard unit of volume, we’d likely still be using it.
I may be rambling at thus point. However, my entire point here is that there is objectively no such thing as a superior unit of measure. They are all made up and have uses that they are best suited for.
I interpret it as Kirk running away smiling from a pissed off Spock. Hilarious in it’s own right.
Here’s the thing…
I tend to agree for most things, but modern Blizzard titles are near unplayable without SSD because of they way that they load assets. You’d be technically in the game, but half of the models take 5 minutes to load in.
The are other games that load in things like this, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.
Roll back over, put the phone in your right hand and use the phone to get the little bit of distance. Being truly lazy requires ingenuity.
They both hit the welcome center, so obviously you wouldn’t see them.
It took witnessing exactly one lathe accident to make me start really giving a fuck about safety.
It also has the superior theme song.
I hate the idiots that decide that they should do 50 mph on an on ramp simply because they’re just going to the next exit and not merging into traffic .
The kids love this one!
Thanks :D And yeah, he probably had the Special and needed that sonic shower love.
I messed up the catbox link when editing the post. It’s on peeertube now only. Sorry if that’s a problem.
The one thing I wanted to change was the winnebago shot going full screen instead of black bars. And thanks!
If I had another hour before I wanted to sleep, it’d be better - maybe later.
Is noone going to say anything about what’s going on in the terminal?
