If you motherfuckers would at use 12 in your system, it would make sense as it can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12, unlike 10, which can only be divided by 1, 2, 5 and 10. But no, your system goes all over the place.

The standard definition of fever varies, but the best evidence comes from febrile neutropenia in chemotherapy patients. 37.9 degrees celsius? No-one cares. 38 degrees? Give them some broad spectrum antibiotics within the hour. Sounds pretty 'medically useless'.

wikipedia:

"In the United States, a short ton is usually known simply as a "ton",[1] without distinguishing it from the tonne (1,000 kilograms or 2,204.62262 pounds), known there as the "metric ton", or the long ton (2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469088 kilograms), known there as the "Imperial ton". There are, however, some US applications where unspecified tons normally means long tons (for example, Navy ships)[2] or metric tons (world grain production figures).

Both the long and short ton are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is 100 pounds (45.359237 kg) in the U.S. system (short or net hundredweight) and 112 pounds (50.80234544 kg) in the imperial system (long or gross hundredweight).[1]

A short ton–force is 2,000 pounds-force (8,896.443230521 N)."

feet and inches can be related to measurements of the human body and you can estimate distances in inches or feet much more accurately.
Nobody ever estimates "that wall is is 120cm" high. It's always "that wall is one meter high" or "that wall is on and a half meters high".
If you just said 4 feet it would be much closer to the truth because a foot is a more useful increment than a meter.

Percentage of those with a degree has been steadily rising since 1940, when we started keeping track of these things, and is currently at about 30%, according to the US Census Bureau.

According to data retrieved in 2016, there is $1.26 trillion in student debt, spread across 43.3 million people. That is an average of $29,561 per person. This is up 6% from 2015. This data comes from the National Student Loan Data System.

All major scientific and engineering works are done in metric, regardless of what country you're in. The people doing the work know the units and the conversions, this whole argument is solely for tourists who get confused. Just fucking Google the conversions it's not hard.
>>
The states did go out of their way to make retarded units of measurement. Thought that was a widely known fact. We also took some letters out of words arbitrarily that were far from superfluous.
>>
We didn't choose any of those units. Those units were around long before Europeans set foot in North America.

But it is handy to have all the necessary measuring that a built-in to your body. An inch is the tip of your index finger to your first knuckle. A foot is your foot. A yard is one stride of your feet when walking. No measuring sticks needed.
Metric is great for science, but sucks in describing day to day stuff.

More-or-less this, but it also comes into play for the everyday person whilst cooking. I know a lot of people who just never bothered to memorize conversions between cups, pints, teaspoons, tablespoons, and the like, and so having to bring Google into the equation can be very annoying.

Be sure to focus on 'annoying' and not anything else. It's not a big problem, it's just annoying. Those of age before instant information was available had a much better grasp on such things, as far as my own experiences have gone.

At this point it doesn't even matter what units they used then, the American scientific community uses metric so that scientific units are standardized across the globe so you don't have to spend a bunch of time doing conversions to work with someone in a different country.

Let's be fair, just because your specific height lands on a nice, even, whole number in one measurement doesn't mean that measurement is better.
For example, I'm exactly 6'5", which is 195.58cm.

You have to realize these units were made independently of one another, sometimes centuries apart. The units themselves are perfectly fine and certainly not bullshit. The problem is since they were made independently of each other they are a clusterfuck when put together. All the old systems were like this, more or less. We are just too stubborn to change. All of the science still use the metric system though.

I visited their website, and looked into that policy. It is not a mandatory policy by their own college's bylaws, nor is it required by any government office. That very website also mentions that it is a ridiculous "rule",. and offers a hilarious section of "good ideas" for men to avoid assaulting/raping people, noting that it is intended to be ridiculous.
It is also of note that the website mentions that men can also be raped and assaulted, which is a pretty progressive statement for a feminist website.

The Queen has some power. She is head of the judiciary and therefore cannot sue, or be sued, as this would put her opponent at an apparent disadvantage. She is also the head of Parliament and head of the executive. Although she does not sit in Parliament, every year she reads the governments proposed legislative programme in the House of Lords. As head of the executive, she also has some powers. She technically gives Royal Assent to parliamentary bills, making them law, though in reality this is done on her behalf. She retains the power to appoint a prime minister, to sack a government, to dissolve parliament and call an election (though in reality she only does this on the advice of the PM)
>>
>>701534482
So kek = this is bait??
>>
what does it stand for?
>>
>>701533804
But there have been instances in the past of the queen flexing her muscles, or of accidentally getting involved in party politics.

In the 1950s the Tory party had not come up with a method of electing a leader. When they replaced a leader, the party's "men in suits" simply told the leader to resign, and a replacement was quietly suggested. On one occasion she has herself appointed the new PM in office when the party could not choose, so she seemingly not only chose the PM, but a Tory party leader.

She also has possibly intervened in the past to stop a private members bill, put forward by Labour republicans, which would have abolished all hereditary titles except hers. It is thought the bill was withdrawn on her advice.

While what these two gentleman have said is true, it is important to note that (like they both said) these instances are extraordinarily rare. This is sort of like the American system in that politicians are awarded a kind of immunity from civil suits and minor infractions, and akin to your state Senator being able to technically appoint various city and state officials when traditional elections fail.
