Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).

NASA still almost lost the Mars Climate Orbiter in '98- they used metric, and Lockheed used US customary. Probably put it on approach too close to mars, and uh, it "encountered" the planet....

NASA has the best euphemisms.

actually, they didn't need examples (even if it would make things easier.)

for example, the meter was originally defined as one ten millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole. (which, given the necessary instrumentation, was something "anyone" could measure. well, instrumentation and instruction.) it's now based on the emissions of krypton-86, and the wave length of a certain part of it. Again anyone with the proper tools is able to measure this.)

Similarly, the kilogram was defined- originally- as the mass of one liter of water. the liter was defined as the volume of a cube with a length of ten centimeters.. (today it gets quite a bit more complicated, but based on observable constants...)

we can agree- we need more cat pictures. Can we also agree we need more doggos, too?

Also, turtles, frogs, sneks, hedgehogs, rabbits. reptilians. And pretty much everything else I'm missing.

Pooch has my attention, so, there's that. Give 'em belly rubs and schritches for me?

https://www.511tactical.com/womens/womens-pants.html

511 pants were originally meant for mountaineering type stuff, but found their way into uniform supply for cops and security guards. you can probably find them (and similar) pants at uniform supply stores that cater to those types (as apposed to the nursing supply store. Whose pants are equally comfortable... just saying.)

they, uh, have pockets.

context is important. in a waiting area or lounge, they should be okay with it- especially if it's the kind of place you'll be waiting for hours.

visiting your inlaws? people are weird.
