Do you call this fifty dollars, or dollar fifty?

Lots of stuff is written differently, than it is spoken. In case of the date it is weird, not to go from biggest to smallest or vice versa. I guess you are used to it now, but for me it would be the same as putting seconds before minutes or inches before feet.

Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.

Big-endian vs little-endian all over again

I personally prefer dd-mm-yyyy because cutting stuff of the end to get dd-mm or dd is better imho. Just an opinion tho, use what you like.

Not in California though. You can own it, but you can't buy nor shoot 5.56 or .223 on BLM or CA owned land. They're also in the courts (appeals) to ban Assault rifles in the state.

I used .5mm, never had a problem with the lead breaking

As a celsius user I have absolutely no need for fahrenheit. It needs more numbers when there is no need for more precision. Half a degree C is barely even noticable.

Same, Fahrenheit rules.

Edit: Fahrenheit kicks ass, I just love it.

Edit: Sorry, still like it a lot.

Edit: I just love the scale.

Edit: Random thought, Fahrenheit is really great. I enjoy it and will continue to use it alongside metic units.

Have you tried with √0,86?

There's like five common speed limits to memorise the conversions for. It's not hard.

or public transport, ending the war on drugs, LGBTQ+ rights, fixing climate change, eating less meat, funding education, non-predatory student loans, living wage, affordable homes, ending slavery in prisons, ending corporations as people, ending super PACs and lobbying, and establishing ranked choice voting or even basic democratic concepts as one-man-one-vote.

-25 to 40 is very useful for weather. Especially in a northern country. The only reason they don't switch is "best country in the world" delusions they've been fed to believe is true since birth.

who is calling a 9mm a 00 gauge

It's 100% "me" hot out?

100°F is roughly (like really roughly) the hottest temp your likely to see in most temperate climates throughout a year. 0°F is(again really roughly) the lowest. The result is you can use Fahrenheit basically as a percentage, or a 0 to 100 temperature score to help you decide how to dress/prepare for the day. If the temperature is above or below 100 or 0 then you need to consider fairly serious precautions before going outside for any length of time.

It's not a very precise system at all, and it obviously has no place in a laboratory or similar situation. But it does work quite well for communicating the weather to common people. There is very little desire among Americans to change to Celsius not because they don't understand it (we're all taught Celsius in grade school) but because Fahrenheit serves most people's needs perfectly adequately.

OP is also arguing that easily recalling the boiling temperature of water (one of the big purported advantages of Celsius) is useless for most people as nobody actually measures the temperature of water while boiling it. Except, maybe, in a classroom, probably while demonstrating to children how the Celsius scale works.

If it's 0 F, it's 0% hot out. If it's 50 F, it's 50% hot out, if it's 100F, it's 100% hot out.

It's a more human measurement. Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is? Everyone knows what a football field looks like and a yard is 1/100th of it.

The hottest a specific person believed in. Obviously never visited $countryThatGetsHotter

3 actually, and it's not a good group.. And I'd like to say that most Americans actually support the idea of switching, but as a stubborn guy who uses metric for everything here I can sadly say that they are not by a long shot.
