How is 0-100 any more intuitive than 32-212? They are both arbitrary. Also 180 degree difference between freezing and boiling in F
They've written a book about Fahrenheit, they can't just change to Celsius anymore.
in defense of fahrenheit:
-0-100 in fahrenheit are more applicable to temperatures people actually live in
-each degree is smaller, making generalizations like 50s, 70s, etc. more useful.
-Hitler used Celcius.

>>671668402
Because the metric system was designed by bureaucrats and number-crunchers to make record-keeping and analysis simpler. It has no cultural basis. The imperial system was just a formalization of units of measure actually in-use by the public at large. These were units of the people, by the people, and for the people, crafted by their specific needs and mutual understanding.
In other words, the imperial system is symbolic of liberty; the metric system, of tyrrany.
No matter where you go in the world, beer is measured off in pints, and the lethal injection is measured off in milliliters. The "official" system of weights and measures is only about which type of use (and user) the nation is declaring its loyalty to.
So where other countries formalized their commitment to sucking the cocks of bean counters, bureaucrats, and politicians, the US instead formalized their commitment to the common people.

kek. you realise that the only people ordering 473mL of beer are literally americans. even if they dont know it, or measure it by weight of dried wheat kernels or something silly.
we drink proper pints. 568 mL to the fill line. although our beer actually has a decent head on it (unlike like the beer flavored cordial you lot swill) so you are likely to get more like 600mL.

Height of a person I had to learn in feet and inches because of my mum. She's only just out of the habit of using 'stone' as a measure of weight.
Beer glasses had a name for the size. No one changed that name or serving size. For young people, 'pint' means 'big beer.'

Big shock moment:
THIS IS TRUE EVERYWHERE
Just about everywhere in the world, a mixture of imperial and metric is used based on current common conventions. People love to point out that metric is simpler for calculations because it's mathematically consistent and indeed, there is no US high school chemistry class where you measure things in pints and pounds.
The "officially adopted" system doesn't change daily life, people still measure how they want to measure, which is how they've always measured. All the official declaration of metric does is put one gigantic stride between the government and the people, as it declares its "official" loyalty to the units of measure in use by the technocratic elite.
The "official" system of weights and measures doesn't mandate a change at the level of every bar and pub, nor for that matter at the level of any given research center or manufacturing plant.

Yeah. People measure how they want. But, dude, let me say this. I've got no idea what a 'pound' weighs, what an ounce fills, or how long a mile is.
When I say I buy meat in kilograms, I mean that I understand what a kilogram of meat is. Fuck "official system." That's my personal system.
If I want inches, I divide centimetres by 2.5, and metres by 0.3 to get feet. Imperial is used casually by a few older people. It's increasingly useless.
Metrication in Australia took 22 years. Finished in 1988. Some people still use old measures, but that is rapidly fading.

>>671670099
You're proving his point.
Amerifucks (Lockheed) did their calculations in Imperial instead of NASA-specified Metric, and look what happened.
>>671672228
But you have to be more specific by even ignoring your whole "rule of 10" that you love so much. A 10 temp range in Celsius is too big of a to express. I can't just say it will be in the "20s" today as, even on your own scale that goes from chilly to warm. If I say it will be in the 70s today, most would think that is nice. 80s now we are getting warm, 90s hot, or going the other way 60s nice/chilly depending on where your from, etc.
Don't get me wrong, for scientific measurements, metric is better, which is why its used in scientific circles. And all metric measurements are better/easier to get then standard ones, but I don't have any issues with climate temperature being expressed in Fahrenheit.
>>671677070

> Maintenance, repairs, and upgrades carry dual measures
When equipment requires the work, conduct the change. Retain older equipment in the older measure. Let people do conversions where necessary. As I said before, change takes time.
I live in Australia, where we went from 1966 to 1988 slowly metricating. Shit takes time. And since the US has already pussy-footed about with metrication, it doesn't seem too much to step a little further.
You know. Slowly. Over time. Investing in change. Not picking one day in the year to rip everything to shit and paint new numbers on.

Wait. You like fahrenheit because it's easier to refer to temperature in units of ten? Looks like I'm not the only one who likes it.
Here's a rule of ten:
Low tens. High tens. Low twenties. High twenties. Mid twenties. Doesn't matter. When you know the system, it becomes easier to understand.
If I told someone it was going to be "Low 20" today, they'd know it was going to be nice. If I told them "Under 10" they'd rug up like fuck.
I see this weather report, and I can tell at a glance what the ranges of temperature are. At the social level, it's what you grow with. And the system that younger people in America grow with could be metric. Which, as you said, can be used in scientific circles too.

1/3 of a meter is about 33cm. Though not exact, it's an inaccuracy lower than "that point shits too small to worry about." And if you're using a fucking tape measure, it's nought to worry over.
But we could go to 33.3cm. Which is on most every metric ruler. But if you're going that accurate, you may as well call it 333mm (a better scale for small projects). We could go to 33.33cm (or 333.3mm), but then you're talking about measures thinner than a pencil lead.

people that bitch about Fahrenheit are stupid anyways. You can't even say that it's used for science or engineering, because for any calculations you end up converting celcius to Kelvin anyways.
Fahrenheit was based more on humans. 100 degrees was around human body temperature.
also, all the people in places like where I am that make fun of americans using the Imperial systems don't even realize that they also still use a bunch of imperial measurements. Nobody up here uses kg for weight, everyone weighs themselves in pounds, or buys meat in pounds.

hey retard, i didnt say other countries. Industry practice even in metric countries is done in imperial.
if i asked you what size your car tyres are you would say 17"
If i asked you what pressure a tyre should be you would say 32 psi
if i asked you about pipe scheduling you would use imperial units
you measure your dietry intake in calories
you measure radiation in curies
you measure energy in horsepower
Im a senior process engineer from australia and we operate our entire refinery in imperial system.

Conversion Celcius to Kelvin: -273.15
Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin: (°F + 459.67) × 5/9
For engineering purposes, celcius is easier to convert from.
If you're raised in the system, it's not hard to remember body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. 100 degrees Fahrenheit is a low grade fever.

>How is 0-100 any more intuitive than 32-212? They are both arbitrary
Zero degrees water freezes, 100 degrees water boils (at normal atmospheric pressure), the scale is then set between those two points
Way less fucking arbitrary than Fahrenheit
>>671673108
Wow.. i know what you are trying to say .. but please ..
1. Celsius doesn't start at waters freezing point nor does it end at waters boiling point.. The picture referred to however starts at 0 degree Celsius which is the waters freezing point and ends at 100 degree Celsius which is waters boiling point .. you can easily have infinite + degree Celsius but you can only go down to 273.15 degrees Celsius which is called "absolute zero" where everything is so cold, that nothing can move and thus have no energy because the entropy and enthalpy reaches the minimum. which leads me to the second correction.
2. Kelvin doesn't start at absolute 0 degrees, as degrees is a direct correspondent to Celsius, and 0 degree Celsius is waters freezing point as we learned earlier in my post.. however what you meant was "Kelvin starts at absolute zero or at 0 Kelvins...
3.
Mercury is indeed outdated because of health concerns.. however it is still used in "float valves, mercury switches, mercury relays, fluorescent lamps"

energy is actually measured in KW and BTU in australia.
Officially its KW since its a metric country but industrial use of BTU is very common.
Horsepower is for the non industrial people who are familiar with their car mechanics, generally discussed in horsepower faggot.
Guess which country uses a death penalty except send niggers and Asian commies in our days? You're right guys. It's USA lol.

thats retarded outdated hillybilly thinking
like developing a unit by things you see everyday
the typical ameritard farmer sees his chicken lay an egg, lets take this as a measuring unit
3 cups of water are the same as 1,1/8 eggs my truck weighs about 37521,0125769 eggs
my house is about 5 pigs 3 chickens and a cow long
thats fucking retarded
and thats how the system in USA USA USA is works
the metric system is a logical system , its smooth it makes sense and has nothing to do with human anatomy or human senses
your system is like i can see till a point and i make that a unit
but every human has a diffren eye sight
also it has no relation to other units, its just dumb

>Kaukonen woke up from a medically induced coma six weeks after the event. His respiratory system was scorched, 70% of his skin was burnt and eventually his kidneys failed as well. In late October, Kaukonen was reported to be recovering quickly. He did not blame the organizers for his injuries.[12]
Ladyzhensky's autopsy concluded that he had died of third-degree burns. His death was aided by his use of strong painkillers and local anesthetic grease on his skin. Kaukonen was competing according to the rules.[13]

What outcry have you uttered about my person, you oafish brute? I shall cordially remind you that I was the best scholar in my law class in Oxford, and I have been involved in several frivolous tea parties and courtroom disputes, and I have over 300 boxes of Earl Gray. I am proficient in the Simian school of diplomacy and I am the top linguist in my book club. Know that you resemble nothing in my eyes save for yet another uncultured mind. I will hasten your undisputed expiritation of the world with grace and finesse. The thought that you can retreat after jesting of such matters over the internet is laughable. As of this moment, I am telephoning a mutual friend to negotiate a swift and sure rebuttal to your argument so I would implore you to prepare yourself for the upcoming verbal deluge. The deluge that will no doubt saturate your life with discomfort. You are well and truly wrong, my good sir. My abilities of travel are unmatched, and I can recite over 700 lines from Shakespeare, and that is just from Hamlet. The amount of knowledge that I have acrued is vast, and I shall use it to firmly state my authority on such matters, you rapscallion. Truly, I wished you had some semblance of knowledge on the matter you have brought up and it's repercussions. Alas, you did not, and now you will suffer a fate most dire, you plebian. I shall defecate concentrated dislike upon you and you shall struggle to survive in it's waters. Pistols at dawn, old boy.

And there you are wrong.
Just because pressure and wheel rim size is in imperial does not make all industry imperial.
If i asked for a bolt or a spanner people as me what size i want it in millimeters.
If i ask for pipe its in millimeters or BSP, but seeing as BSP is not imperial i am still correct.
Calories is not imperial, its the amount of energy required to heat one gram of water through 1 kelvin, pretty sure that's metric.
Curies are not imperial, they are a unit to convey a sense of size, telling someone 0.6 micro curies and 222000 Becquerels give completely different understanding, it's a similar situation in particle physics, everything is measured in electron volts. That doesn't make electron volts imperial, its just more intuitive than 0.000000000001 joules.
Energy is measured in Watts everywhere except cars which use horsepower, and even that is being phased out rapidly.

Our gradschool student are better than this. Horsepower is a measurement of POWER not of energy. And everyone uses kw except for marketing cars. In Japan/Korea/Europe, it is against the law to provide a power only in hp, you must provide kw and then only you are allowed to give hp as a supplement.
