quade 4 #31 March 12, 2002 QuoteBTW The metric system is much better.Better for some things but definately not for others. Do you really want to hear me explain the history and reason we in the U.S. still use the "English" system?No. You can't be that bored.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #32 March 12, 2002 I prefer the English system altimeters to metric system altimeters though. They can be set up like a clock so its easier to read.Speed Racer"Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iflyme 0 #34 March 13, 2002 QuoteBTW The metric system is much better.Agreed. I ain't no scientist, but the "base 10" system works fine for all my needs... you know, water freezing a "0" and boiling at "100", etc ... but what's the best system for measuring bellybutton lint and toe jam???"Men weren't meant to rideWith clouds between their knees"Five For Fighting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, it's not a teleporter, a hovercar, etc. But it is cool, and I can't believe I was the first to come up with it....Is it a para-tent? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nissanmaniac 0 #37 March 13, 2002 Metric system rules, the problem is that when you go to europe and jump with european skydivers, how do you agree on the brakeoff altitude and stuff... Everyone carries calculators ? (I started skydiving in US and somehow 14,000 feet seemed so much higher than 4k...) I like it simple, 0 is when everything freezes, 1km is a 1000 meters, and so on.. The English system still confuses the crap out of me, but I'm a born Polack though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #40 March 13, 2002 QuoteI like it simple, 0 is when everything freezes, 1km is a 1000 meters, and so on..-Everything- freezes at 0 degrees Kelvin. As for 1 km being 1000 meters, well, uh, duh, but what does 1 meters mean? I mean, other than being a scratch on a bar of metal somewhere in France. To me, that's pretty arbitarary.Better yet, answer this one quickly and win a cigar . . .If I have to travel 10 minutes of latitude north, about how many kilometers is that? Using nautical miles the answer is REALLY easy and statute miles only -slightly- more complex.Hey, all units of measure (well, except for maybe the atomic number of something) are pretty arbitarary. Some are more useful for somethings, while others are more useful for other things.And even base 10 isn't all it's cracked up to be when it comes to certain things. Try dividing a meter into exactly three equal pieces. Sure you'll get close enough for jazz, but that's not the point.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
