How many feet in a mile: is this common knowledge

yes, I also inflate my tires to the appropriate kPa.

 

yep. still don't get why the metric trade designation for conduit isn't an actual measurement.

 

That's true and I was taught that the term weight is technically the force on an object due to gravity.

Been a long time since I was in physics class, the usage of terms could have changed since then.

But now, back to the high mass boobies..

 

ok, ...here's a geeky one

how many radians in a circle?

 

Okay, so you think 1,609.344 meters or 1.609,344 kilometers in a mile (a common distance used here) is easier to remember than 5,280 feet.

 

I remember it from a song in the 4th grade.... The measurement song lol.... I still use it

 

A couple of pies worth?

 

Lol valid point sir. Figured it would be the only easy way to survey a bunch of people easily though.

 

Didn't mean that converting the two was super easy, but by themselves, metric is the easier of the two. If your brain was wiped of all things units of measure, then retaught both systems, I would think metric is the better of the two. But being an American, I automatically use our standard system for everything and it is easier for me to use than metric.

 

correct! two "pies"

there's no getting past you, oldstick!

 

What if....

beer-filled titties? OMG.

 

My ancestry is English. I don't see a problem.

 

what's easier to remember, 1 km or 0.6215040397762586 miles?

 

How did that movie go again?










































'Merican! System < Metric System

 

Is it easier to say cheese in English or Spanish?

 

German.

 

My point was one of relative perspective.

Besides, no one wants to say anything in German. Except Germans.

 

I agree, it's a matter of perspective. my point was that I can make the imperial system appear more complicated than it is, just as he did with the metric system.

 

I was supporting your point. Damn it, Jack, work with me, not against me.
