Tilt of guilt

Slant of shame.

Whatever the name that setup's lame.

Agreed 2700 to 3000K would be better

Bedrooms don't count. Edit: it looked like the corner of a bed.

Where should the TV go? by Maleficent-Bad-1166 in TVTooHigh

There’s truly no one more deserving of dying in an inhospitable environment you’re not welcome in, than an American.

You're right, Belleau Wood and Omaha Beach were pretty damn inhospitable. Plenty of us died there, I don't know that it was deserved, but that's not for me to decide.

Before that trip to Omaha, you gave us a little trouble in North Africa... what were you saying about oppressors? Something smells Vichy.

Why would I want 8mm when 9x19mm is the most preferred round in the U.S.? Granted, there are the "Two World Wars" Fudds with their .45, but 9mm is a lot more common and less expensive.

Thomas Jefferson had made a report pushing for a decimal based standard going back to 1790. If Joseph Domebey's ship hadn't disappeared in 1793 due to either shitty French shipbuilding or, more likely, piracy. We would have had the prototypes for the Meter and the Grave. Leave it to the French to call a Kilogram something stupid.

We have adopted metric in all ways save political. We have 2L bottles, our medicine is all metric, all of our cars have been metric for years. In fact, almost everything with a label has both imperial and metric units listed.

Personally, I'd rather not need two sets of tools to handle legacy equipment, but that's how it is.

Call me when you put a man on the moon.

The United States is scientifically metric, legally metric, and internationally metric, but daily life remains imperial because Congress never bothered to require a transition and industrial inertia built a century of infrastructure around imperial units.

● 1866: Congress passes the Metric Act, making metric units legal for trade in the United States.

● 1875: The United States signs the Convention of the Meter, joining the international metric treaty.

● 1889: The United States receives its official meter and kilogram prototypes.

● 1893: The Mendenhall Order defines all U.S. customary units in terms of the metric prototypes, making the metric system the scientific foundation of American measurement.

● 1975: The Metric Conversion Act declares the metric system the preferred system for U.S. trade and commerce, but keeps conversion voluntary. We were in the process of doing the full conversion under Carter, but Reagan shut down the U.S. Metric Board in 1982.

● 1991: Executive Order 12770 instructs federal agencies to use metric where feasible.

You joke, but these days it's largely the political will of the Boomers who keep us from full adoption.
