I always felt like his blank stare was a “Oh fuck, oh god, I have no fucking idea what I’m doing, how did I let it get this far, oh fuck, be cool, they don’t know, oh shit, I’m so completely out of my depth, oh fuck me man, they’re going to find out, every second its getting worse but I can’t back out now, oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck…” stare

Crust is the best part of any food intended to have a crust!

I gotta say, you make some fair points.

It’s a lot of memorization that I simply haven’t done and won’t ever have to do.

The fraction reduction doesn’t help intuitive thought. If imperial operated on ‘significant digits’ and marked any set or document with a 64th always as 64ths, as in 16/64ths, I’d be more on board.

We just need to replace out base 10 system of counting with base 12 and we’d get the best of both worlds!

Not only that, but your system, by virtue of being decimal, inherits all the shortcomings of our quite flawed numbering system. You can’t divide something by the second smallest prime number without breaking out repeating decimals.

What’s more 0.203 cm or 0.291 cm? How about 3/8" or 19/64"?

How far is 1/3 of a mile? 1/3 km is 333m. How about 1/9? 1/9 km is 111m How long is 10 x 5/16"? 10 x 3.1cm is 31cm

Yeah, a foot breaks down easy in whole inches with many factors, but that’s about it

We also have some experience with starting helpful fires. 1812 comes to mind.
