    Edit* my comment was meant to be a reply to another comment about the metric system, not top level. Not sure how that happened aince i clicked reply right from my inbox. Stick by what i said about america

    Thats literally exactly what it is. They aren’t derived from the metric system like all units in the system, theyre a specialized edge case where a conversion was specifically written in because america sucks. There are no other conversions in the metric system, units are derived from constants based on a set of specific rules that the pound and yard do not adhere to.


  • I would argue that a legally defined conversion to a meter or another metric value does not make a unit metric in and of itself. Those units have to adhere to the system, which is clearly based on decimal values, not just some arbitrary conversion with an absurd precision that was only signed into law to minimize the inconvenience caused by non-standard units.


  • We just use the right side of the sink for drying. It has a little plastic grate insert to elevate the dishes and dirty dishes go into the left side, clean into the right, and then theyre dry by the next time you need to do dishes so they get put away. Only time its somewhat of an inconvenience is when i want to fill the brita pitcher and theres no bottom of the sink to rest it on so i have to hold it or place it on the counter and hold the sink hose over it.

My manager tells me im a good boy almost every week. The managers can tell if your heart isnt in it when you lick their face and their boots, if you dont have tenacity and a go getter attitude you’ll never be able to be a successful corporate lapdog like me. Its not easy making money for other people.”
