  • I’m accustomed to the imperial system. But agree that metric is better.

    Some metric stuff I have no trouble with. I have a good spatial sense of the distance of a mm, m, and km. And can do a rough miles to km (and vice versa) conversion in my head. I have a good sense of how much a kg is and similarly can do a rough conversion to and from lbs in my head. But while I understand that a gram is 1/1000 of a kg, if handed a small object and asked to guess how many grams it is, I’d fail miserably.

    Celsius I can’t ever remember the conversion, but I’ve had enough exposure to it that I understand if it means cold/cool/warm/hot weather.



  • “See, I’m not really an atheist but agnostic. It means I’m not to be expelled from this community as a heretic”

    I identity with this. When I was younger I identified as agnostic, as I saw it as a more socially acceptable option than atheism which allowed me to not have to pretend to be religious.

    But I’ve identified as atheist for many years now. In my case by the time I did, everyone of significance in my life was nonreligious.
