We’re taught both metric and US customary units in school. I prefer metric for most things, to the point I have a metric-only tape measure among other things.

However, I’ll die on the hill that Fahrenheit is superior for ambient air temperature. 0 degrees to 100 degrees neatly encompasses the range of average surface temperatures seen throughout the year in the contiguous US.

      No. Americans have always called themselves leaders of the free world, leaders of democracy, the land of the free, and until about a year ago, they were, in principle, a free nation.

      Now they are not. Now calling them free, is a lie. You dont get to call them freedom units anymore. If you want that back, you’ll need to get your freedom back. I will always let anyone i see that uses that term know they are no longer free, as long as they aren’t.

      The loss of their freedom, and their choice to very little about it so far, will mean lots of pain and destruction for many people while their leader wages war on peiple starves them of power etc… all of his actions are blood on their hands. Unless they start doing everything in their power to prevent it.
