5 cm is 1.9685 inches, which is about weeee big…. 🤏
Or one LLAP 🖖
I use the metric system for almost all of my projects. I’ve never seen a 3d printer that used the english system and after a decade of use I really hate the english system.
I always thought it was cheeky that a lot of pistols in Fallout take 10mm ammo.
10mm ammo is a real thing, tho
And is expensive as fuck. As is the downgrade, .40 cal.
Maybe it’s changed since I last had to purchase any, but it was twice as expensive as .45 bullets, and the guns always seemed subpar to other calibers anyway.
Ah, good to know.
You’ve unlocked: the number 10
Centimeters are on the American ruler…
Yeah Stormy said it was only a centimeter
The only thing on a real American ruler is red white and blue .
I thought he is orange
His preferred title is typically translated as “leader” not “ruler” that’s got monarchist elements that they can’t quite make stick yet
You can’t rule a country off a cliff, only lead.
“Anything but the metric system”… Well kinda
The metric system, but with extra steps.
The metric system but with warthogs, refrigerators and football fields. That’s .64 football fields, or .48 decawarthogs.
One AAA battery
I wonder, when they get a grown-up president again, will they finally also begin to move to the 21st century?
You’re being way too optimistic
Again???
Why don’t they just round that guy’s votes up to 60?

your deleted comment has the same comedic effect as the bethesda’s environmental storytelling skeletons
i should delete this reply.
This raises important questions worth discussing. The details matter here and I think we need more transparency around how decisions like this get made.
Its about 40 caliber.
How many grain?
Width, not length.
volume? (i thought grain was volume, sort-of)
It’s projectile weight. The common sizes of 9x19mm ammunition (what we usually mean when we say 9mm), are 115 grain, 124 grain, and 147 grain. NATO standard is 124, but most people shoot 115 at the range because it has less weight and it cheaper.
Lighter projectiles, all else being equal, will have higher muzzle velocities, but will also slow down more quickly and are more prone to wind shift.
Mass, like a church? Like like the measures on the façade of the Torre Civica in Assisi?
/s, #anything but metric
A grain is just an old system of weight. 1 grain is about 64 mg. I was tested on grain based dosages in school but never saw them used in real life.
The Americans could’ve changed to the metric system if they could afford it. However, changing a country’s systems of measurement is a mammoth project of enormous complexity and cost, so I guess no politician want to make space for that in the budget when there are other things to take care of.
Rest of the world when people have different cultures: >:(
Maybe people will forget about the epstein files if he tries changing to metric
Genuinely, that would be the funniest reason… Maybe we should be inundating Trump with recommendations like this to ‘fix’ his approval ratings.
… and then hang him anyways after the next Nuremberg trials.
… and then hang him anyways after the next Nuremberg trials.
Don’t be silly, you lot are going to gold plate his pension and that of his family for decades to come. LOL next Nuremberg trials. Who are you kidding?
So you’re saying the rest of the world is just going to roll over and let the Holocaust 2.0 happen?
Your lack of faith in everyone non-American is disturbing…
We are not going to go WWII on the US, if that is what you are suggesting. Who would even do that? Russia and China are laughing their asses off about what is happening in the US right now. They never had it better, since the US voluntarily dropped its hegemony and basically joined their side.
Europe wouldn’t even if it could (which it obviously can’t).
The US can’t be saved by anyone but their own people. But Americans so far seem to be very easy to bully into submission and accept their country turning fascist.
If I’m honest, yes.
The US is going to protect him and his family for generations. Nobody… and I mean nobody, is going to challenge that. There’ll be no trials, there’ll be no reparations, there’ll be no apologies, there certainly won’t be any hangings. The best we can hope for is a gradual backing down of the extreme “fuck everyone” stance the US is in right now.
What have you seen to suggest otherwise?
(Nice star wars reference btw)
Europe certainly will.
People just don’t really care enough to. And we already use the metric system in science, engineering, medicine, aerospace, military, and any science class in high school or higher. So what if our road signs and cookbooks are in imperial units.
when you put it like that we’re pretty much on par with the UK’s adoption of metric
UK merchants must list their prices in metric
Recipes being imperial is the dumbest thing ever and I always convert mine. “Two cups and one tablespoon flour” statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged. I will defend feet/inches though for very specific cases where you may be dividing something into thirds like sometimes with woodworking
