With that logic you should have mandatory reporting of anyone entering a hardware store. Neither of these is a real problem.

My last project in aerospace with 100’s of people was mostly Imperial. There is a lot of mixing of units and you can basically design your subsystem however you want. There was a mandate decades ago to go metric, but that has largely been ignored. It’s the worst of both worlds!
My current project is just a couple people, so I mandated all metric. I have to spend a lot of money on tooling, but it is largely fine. I would say 10 years ago getting some fancy aerospace grade fasteners was easier in Imperial, less so today.
My mind still defaults to Imperial for very small dimensions like a 8 thou gap or something.

I have tried: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, You Tube Music, Tidal
I now stick with Tidal. Started by (very rich) artists. They pay musicians 3-4X more than Spotify. Highest sound quality available. Good app and works with smart speakers.
BTW with Soundiiz it is easy to sync you playlists across multiple platforms, so no friction with switching.
A lot of duel dimensioned drawings when you are interfacing.
I just have to be able to convert back and forth, sometimes in a single sentence: “we are using a 500mm X 450mm base made from 1/16” sheet metal."
