Just wait until it gets legal in the UK to measure speed in 'furlongs by the fortnight'... Somebody will do so. But I have to admit I never got used to kW instead of horsepower for a car.. At least after years of Armed Forces Radio I have a sense of 82 Fahrenheit being more comfortable than 92. Or 42. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a definite yes--that is right up the nearest main road that runs in front of my house, then take the bridge over the Potomac and it is the first exit. . .so about 15km instead of 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada switched to metric when I was 17 so I am bilingual. "Conversion" to Metric still seems to be unique in every country. Building materials here are still cut to imperial measurement and horsepower remains as well. Although young people have no idea what an inch is. The UK uses miles for road distance. I suspect there are other examples. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody will do so. My dashboard app from many years back (which I did actually run in my car for a few roadtrips) could display your speed in mega-furlongs per fortnight. This was necessary as furlongs per fortnight was too large to comfortably display. Mega got it down to displayable, but required a decimal point. Sadly I don't have a screenshot in that mode... but it toggled MPH, KMPH, and MFPF with a touch screen. http://harmlesslion.com/software/dashboard 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wierd_w Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have finally gotten around to replacing the pressurized ink tube system in my large format printer. It's still acting a bit squirrely, but it does print again now. Printed a super-huge coloring book page for a co-worker and her kids, (and a huge pokemon poster for her husband). I think most of the issue so far is just it sitting for 2 years over the pandemic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gigajiggles" is not a term I ever thought to apply to computers. That is how I used to measure my girlfriends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
