  • As scary as the lockdown was, it was an interesting year of protests for BLM and labor movements. Once everyone had a lot of time on their hands, they started to take action on import topics.

    Now I feel like most people are back to the grind, and as a whole we don’t have the time to quickly make changes we want to see

    I’ll never buy something on the first research stint. I’ll do my reseach, draw up my notes, then move on to the next obsession of the week. A few months later, if I get the same obsession on that topic, then putting money into the project is allowed

    I mean the imperial system has it’s niche uses too. Fractional measurements are helpful if you’re doing multiple of something and you don’t want to calculate. What if you have 16 boards and you need to lay them out across 19 feet, what’s the width for each board and gap? Well its 19/16 or 1-3/16. And you could say your tolerance is ±1/16. Versus a decimal system, you need to hit 1.1875, with a ±0.0625 tolerance. Yeah no, imperial is better in that case.

    Bur imperial does have it’s pains, especially once you start working with anything that isn’t a multiple of 2. Just wanted to point out it does have some uses.
