This makes me think I’m in the mood for some epic long 90s trip hop tonight.
I’ve been to a few so far this spring, and I’ll be at a heavy metal show (really, really not my genre) with my daughter in 2 weeks at a shitty dive bar downtown.
Dad-of-the-month 
I’m so looking forward to it. The last father / daughter date we had was 2 years ago,when we went down to Fell’s Point in Baltimore for sushi on Halloween weekend. That was an absolute blast and the place was nuts. I’m glad she looks just like me so people wouldn’t think I was some cradle robbing SOB because she got dressed up and is taller than me (I’m 182cm) in heels.
You lost me at cm. 
Have a ton of fun.
How much is that in real measurements?
You mean the one that like 3 countries in the world use as opposed to the roughly 170 other countries that use the same unit of measures?
(I’m 6’0" on the button, but I know Joerg is in Europe so I did the translation for him)
Joerg knows from inches and feet.
For Americans? The whole mm/cm thing isn’t a topic of interest. 
Hah, much appreciated 
That’s 28 freedom fries and a side order of diabetes.
I can love them both! I can love… Them… Both 
I got you. It’s approximately 377 micro-leagues.
Now, that’s far more relevant and relatable.
I’d look that shit up.
There are two kinds of countries: ones that use the metric system, and ones that have landed on the moon.
Seriously though - I think metric is better for scientific things, but that U.S. standard is arguably better for crude everyday measurements. I think of height and most environmental things in Feet and Inches, but I set up my action based on mm.
No, standard units aren’t goofy and illogical. They’re mostly factors of 2, with the occasional factor of 3 thrown in. E.g. 128 ounces in a gallon is 2^7. (12 shows up a lot because it is divisible by 2, 3, and 4.)
Celsius measures how water feels
Fahrenheit measures how people feel
Kelvin measures how molecules feel
The only people that say this are those who grew up thinking 30 degrees was cold
I was one, until I majored in chemistry.
Fahrenheit, 0 - 100 is generally the sane human temperature operating range. Over 100 is too hot. Under 0 is too cold.
Celsius - 0 is pretty cold but not bad, and 100 is dead.
And for chemistry, metric is better. Drives me nuts being a brewer in the U.S. because I’m using such a stooopid mix of units from different scales. Metric, U.S. Standard, Imperial, and U.S. brewing-specific. Batch sizes are measured in Barrels, which is 31 gallons. Where the rest of the world (except the UK, which also uses, barrels, but they’re different barrels) uses hectoliters (100 liters). Dosing rates are soooo much easier with hectoliters.
