The worst is that a lot of professions will use metric even in the US. So you spend your childhood learning this fucking crazy imperial and go to become a doctor and have to relearn a lot of metric stuff
Going to university for engineering showed me the light and has blessed me with an everlasting appreciation for the number 10.
I have received complaints over sharing weather screenshots in Celsius and I just chuckle.

Australia has a lot of privatised utilities and they should be publicly owned. All privitisation does is increase the cost for consumers, worsen the quality of service and enrich corporate owners. Public transport, electricity supply, water supply, gas supply, internet providing, education and much more. All of these things rely heavily on public funding, yet in Australia we seem content with allowing private companies to profit from degrading them.

Hard to say it's not getting enough attention - there are a lot of serious problems going on in the world today, that people are justified in making noise about.
But one of my pet issues is the switch to the metric system in the US. Why are we not working towards this? It was standardized decades ago. Should be uncontroversial to deprecate imperial, even though it obviously can't happen overnight.
Aviation is very heavy on the imperial system. It’s taught to future airplane mechs and pilots, and that’s a pretty large industry.

Interesting, I never knew. Is that the case for aviation industry in other parts of the world too?
