America officially switched to the metric system decades ago. We just don’t use it on a daily basis, but officially the US is metric.

In 1988 Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, which made the metric system the preferred system of weights and measures for U.S. trade and commerce.

In 1991 President Bush issued Executive Order 12770, which mandated the transition to metric measurement for all federal agencies.

Is anyone here planning to watch the episodes over the time they’re supposed to occur? I’m thinking of watching part 1 tomorrow due to it being the date on the calendar onscreen, and part 2 the next day.

lordnikon ,

if you were going to do that it would make sense to watch part one tomorrow and part two on Sept 3rd.

Bullshit. ISO 8601 IS THE SUPERIOR DATE STANDARD
Tomorrow is 2024-08-30. DEAL WITH IT.

This is what “Past Tense” was really warning us about.

Hmm, that certainly does have a certain ring to it.

I wish.

Just start being that pedantic asshole that people hate, and insist on using it. When someone asks what the temperature is, give it to em in c and make them do the conversion.

I set all my stuff to metric years ago and use it pretty much exclusively. I don’t actually make other people convert, I do it for em. But still.

Also state your height in cm.

Us metric people usually say it in meters. I’m one meter 86.

Leave off the word “metre” and it doesn’t matter whether you’re using metres or cm. You’re “one eighty-six”. Is that a lazy way of saying “one [hundred and] eighty-six”, quite common when talking about numbers in the hundreds, or the lazy way of saying “one [metre] eighty-six [centimetres]”, a common shorthand similar to shortening “six [feet] five [inches]”? The answer is it doesn’t matter!

Cook in metric and use a scale!

Bake in metric and rejoice when recipes actually work!

I use metric temperature when I talk to my kids. Now they give me a hard time when I give them a Fahrenheit value! Keeps me honest I guess. I’ve also got my oldest using a 24 hour clock.
