Aye? Like your 3 inch penis is bigger sounding than your 7.62 cm penis? Or your 76.2 mm penis?

The only difference is a base 12 vs a base 10. FFS.


Why stop at 12? why not 18 or 46 or some other arbitrary bullshit, its a system of anarchy.

No one here uses it at all, we only use feet and pounds when describing fish to make them sound bigger.


BS

I've been in Aus and I was on the gold, it's all troy ounces, pennyweights and grains. But hey, purple haired city dwellers wouldn't know about that and never will, doing gold is hard yakka

I agree. Why measure in real numbers at all? Matt's retired with all his worth tax sheltered. Let's just go ahead and fuck it all up for everyone else!!!!

Rofl, i have found more gold then you could dream of, i have 3 minelabs detectors and pan shoalhaven every few weeks, yes its measured in ounces because that's always been the standard, still makes zero sense.
Just for the record i mostly grew up on a cattle property and we didn't have a color tv until i was 16.

22° C is the perfect temperature, come at me!

No idea how many degrees that would be in the weird third-world metric you Americans use to measure temperatures. :)

18C is perfect weather.

Everyone who does gold talks ounces pennyweights and grain, and it makes perfect sense because you're dealing with small quantities of the metal versus large quantities of dirt, FYI

You sound like the typical hobby detectorist knowing it all better, go tell the miners they're not making any sense and you know it all better

Metric is vastly superior. I just use imperial when speaking on here because I know the majority of people on this forum are American, but I do have to actually put it in a google calculator before I post every time.

Just because something has been done or used in the past does not mean its better than an alternative.

We would still be on the first era in Age of Empires if we took that approach!
