no.

and that's why challenger blew up. or was that the hubble screw up?

a dig at? fuck no.

in reference to? yes.

an homage to? yes.

yes, we are talking about units of measurement, which is why you talking about fractions is irrelevant. Thank you for agreeing with me.

jeezus chris on a cracker you're a slow one.

that was brilliant, thank you

I mean, for the last 10 years Apple have been running their own autonomous vehicle project, only to be cancelled this year.

So, they're in a good place to buy Tesla now.

wow, calling autism a disability? what the hell is wrong with you?

yeah, fuck Linux.

you're talking about two or three different, unrelated things.

1. decimals vs fractions - you're whining that 1/16 gives you more leeway, but too stupid to realise that 1/10 is less precise and is the same as 0.1

So either you're happy with less precision - and decimals are good, or you want more precision - and decimals are still good.

Again - absolutely nothing to do with metric. You can convert 3 3/4 inches to 3.75 inches, 3 12/16ths or 3 7.5/10ths of an inch. They're all the same thing and all imperial.

2. Tools. The topic is "using metric". Once you have all metric tools, then it doesn't matter. You're trying to change the topic to buying new tools. Unrelated. Using a tool vs shopping like a princess for new toys. We're talking about using tools.
3. but hey, while we're on the topic of how dumb you are, let's keep using what you say against you. You keep saying "it doesn't have to be that accurate" well, okay then. then get a sharpie, write the approximate metric conversion on the side and get on with your life. A 5 minute job for someone who I presume can write numbers and count to ten?
4. I knew there were more. What you don't get, what you keep missing, is that 1/16 is smaller than 1/10. that means your bitching about "tighter tolerances" applies more to dicking about with 1/16ths instead of 1/10s (which again, is decimals, nothing to do with metric)

let's not forget he is also a pedophile.

fighting neo-nazis is ALL our jobs.

That's because you're a dog, and we can't see red.

I mean, they, you, can't see red.

it's not like it hasn't been referenced in dozens of other things. Once it's in a Simpsons episode, there's no excuse.

I feel that mindtraveller has not travelled far out of his cave, his mind, or in time.

And hilarity on "poorly made". Honestly, I'm a little stunned that people on the internet wouldn't recognise a comic so popular it spawned 5+ annual geek conventions in multiple countries. Oh, and multiple computer games, boardgames and a PNP RPG. Dear god, those two guys' legacy is so huge.

And who could forget dickwolves?!

you are a poorly educated child, I presume? who leans heavily on the spectrum?

this is why Italians have to speak so quickly, and supplement their words with gestures.

you don't get it.

your tools and materials will come in metric when everything is metric.

doing things on 1/10 of an inch or 1/10 of a cm is the same as 0.1 inches or 0.1 cm.

1/16 = 0.0625

3/16 of an inch = 0.1875 inches

as in "1/16th" literally means "one divided by sixteen, so do extra math instead of just giving you the real number"

decimal doesn't mean, nor have anything to do with metric.

3 2/10 cm is easier than 3.2cm?
