As a former line cook and a baker this is correct.

Yeah I’ve been here, in the US so getting raw stock in metric is prohibitively expensive. So sheet metal is where it all falls down and makes me a bit of a fibber. We would convert it to mm for the final drawings.

Before CNC’s were common I can tell you some horror stories going to a local machine shop needing it all in metric and you could hear the modem noises in their heads. We would bring them metric micrometers and scientific rulers to help them along. Mind you this was in the late 90’s and they were masters of their art, but metric wasn’t the norm in their world.

Mildly?

30+ years satellites, we are all metric. But as @FuglyDuck said it was a mixed team that mixed measurements that caused the failure.

We do everything in house so when parts\waveguide\antenna’s\etc all gets ordered its all metric.

And I do agree 10+ years ago it was a nightmare to source but since we are international we could have bulk sent over from Europe and eventually Canada.

Oh I missed the “The worst of both worlds” part LOL I can imagine, I guess if it comes to modules they could be mixed as long as they can fit in the footprint of the engineering drawings :)

Birds aren’t real, they are government drones too. Ever seen a baby pigeon? Cities have millions, they are all the same size.

Never any babies.

Aerospace

I work in metric as an American, my industry is probably the only one that works in metric world wide. Temp is mixed

My theory is the collapse is much closer than we know.

I would have suggested that as its the best bang for the buck. But people lose their mind when its on the table…

I think we should keep the coal plant in warm storage just in case. One big hail storm/tornado could cripple this system. Just food for thought in an emergency.
