stupid dems should not have waited 2 months
was it really two months ago that ford came out?
Or wait, nvm that's when feinstein got that info
Feinstein knew since beginning of august
and had he come forward, the whole thing would have been investigated, AND she would have remained anonymous
but ... they waited long enough
and now she had to testify with a broken voice in front of the whole world
which was the plan from the beginning. that's how character assassinations work
noone cares about the truth, as long as you can shift opinion on the right time
oh wait
this is the wrong channel X-D
Most of those are made with ease of use in mind for the time period they were enstated. The inch -> foot -> yard system is because math is easier to do in your head with a base 12, farenheit is based on the temperature common folk are actually going to need to worry about, and month/day/year because it was much more common to say "January 1st, 2000" than "1st of January 2000".
Why would our notation of date be expected to conform to geometry anyway? That's as illogical as saying the one on the right is dumb because days go up to 31 and months only to 12, so month is the smallest number.
it was based on the standards of the time so they just never bothered changing it to metric
its easier to stick to something established that works than to adopt a new method and relearn everything
also many aspects of our society rely on English Standard and to change that might fuck some stuff up
I personally think Metric is better but understand why we largely still use English Standard here
What do we have to gain for switching aside from casual conversation with people in other countries?
not much practically speaking
science and math already primarily uses metric anyway
English Standard has essentially become the layman's version
like all of our speed limits signs are solely in English Standard
most speedometers in cars now a days have both though
so adapting to another countries standards wouldnt be difficult in terms of speed limits
Come for the memes, stay for the history of systems of measure
