If God wanted us on the metric system, Jesus would have had 10 Apostles.

NCAA swimming might transition to meters

I wouldn't be sad if the US finally stopped being so stubborn and go completely metric. So much easier to count.

Some things about it would suck.

Manufacturing changes, tooling changes, and can you imagine how hard it would be to fix old SAE things

Hmmm, I might disagree that it's as rough today as it was when I was a teenager in the 80s.

Huh? This isn't about personal ability to transition in your brain.

Sorry I failed to clarify. I meant infrastructure where imo is where it needs to start which forces industry to follow

We manufacture way more in terms of $s today than we do in the 80s, our share worldwide just fell. It's

There is literally a world of resources to ease the transition

What do you even mean by that? I was just looking for fun, and just the highway signs would cost a half billion!

I think Fahrenheit is a nicer system than Celsius. Too big of a change in temp

Nothing about this, though.

But with 12, one betrayed him. Sounds like 11 would have been safer.

It WOULD be really nice if halves, 3rds, 4ths and 6ths terminated after only one

It would be a nightmare for many industries. Manufacturing and construction
WDaddy

It would need to be a decades long transition as things age and phase out. There are way too many prefab

Many already have migrated

Nearly all (if not all) autos are already metric. Medical is already metric.

Lol. So you’ve mentioned a few industries and assume every other industry

Apparently NASA is almost all in SAE. It alone would take between 250-500 million and well over a decade.

I hope all these metric commies are willing to pay more taxes and go deeper in
WDaddy

LOL, so you mention 1 industry and you assume that applies to all.

You mentioned food. That actually has been multi values for at least 15 years. So while other areas might be more

Commies can take Fahrenheit from my cold dead fingers. It is a significantly better system for reporting temperature as

George Washington fought a war so we don’t have to count with that crap.

That makes BYU’s 25 meter decision a big oops

Short Course Meters is a distinct possibility.
